Normal logic in real and fair competition is better team to win. If you are less skilled you need to chart down from more skilled. Why you want to get place you dont deserve? Do you think i got skilled for 1 age and before it rest KDs go easy on me because im not skilled?
If you lack skills start improve so you can become more competitive.
Having 1 huge cow vs 3-4 was much better (in past) because 1 cow = 4 gens vs 3-4 cows =12-16 gens. Making cap on explore and cow size and up pool same time is not good solution. Still its "hurt" whore kds making them grow with his pool and separate from ww/honor kds. Maybe its not perfect but if we don't have it game going to be more destructive to less good kds.
