I began playing before the version 3 update and was fairly successful at the PVP battles. But not playing it since this new update I have always been paired with a player with a higher defense points than myself. I mean every single time. It is now impossible with even 50k strength weapons to defeat a single enemy with using grenades, health packs, or rocket launchers.
How is the pairing determined?

while I was sleeping. To see just how my guy wimped out.
Granted, started this game a couple days ago.
So virtually only protection is T shirt.
Now I need to trade piles of cash for handful of diamonds.
Probably not a smart move picking a match given, that's 4 times your power.
Now I ran out of diamonds, LOOKING for a match, lol FFS.

The simplest answer I can give is this regard is rather lengthy, so bear with me a bit. In previous PvP matches your opponent had a color coding that enabled you at a glance to determine your odds at winning the match.
GREEN meant you had superior weapon strength,
WHITE (I believe) meant you were evenly matched,
RED meant your opponents defensive strength was superior to your attack strength,
This worked fairly well since the higher rated defenses were usually owned by people who had been playing longer than you had and consequently had the time to build the defense. They usually paid off better, if you could win that is, for essentially the same reason, as they had more diamonds to offer. It was your choice to go up against the stronger player.
The downside or "flaw", if you will, is that if you could secure a vastly superior weapon early on, say with a 9.5 rating, you could easily win most every match by simply bullying your way through PvP, and the more matches the better. This turned the PvP Event into a horse race with those who had the GOLD to play (rather pay) more ... WON more ... simple. I once described this scenario as an 800 lb. Gorilla blasting away at rabbits ... purely OFFENSIVE in nature.
This became boring real quick. So how do you keep your best players and best paying customers coming back? CHALLENGE them ... pure and simple.
The fix? Even the playing field by matching like rated (experienced) players against each other. How do you ensure that there will always be an evenly matched player available, you ask? Create one when there isn't one available *** SMILES *** The brainchild of a talented developer no doubt. KUDOS
NOW you must FIGHT !!!
If we can somehow balance out the SHORT range matches so that your chances of winning are equal to LONG range, then we've got the "perfect" scenario. Bypassing these matches is costly in time and currency and NO JOY.
This is the task I pass on to the developers. Take a closer look at the SHORT range scenario and determine why it's so hard to win. My observation is because it's in close quarters (where you're simultaneously attacked by multiple enemies) and can only shoot at one target at a time. LONG range, "sniper" like scenarios will be easier because the battle takes place from a distance and under cover. SHORT range battles have always taken longer to complete ... it's the nature of the beast, I suppose.
Suggestion: I have only one, the experienced and highest rated players are the REAL experts. They've done things in the game that the developers could never have anticipated and this latest release appears to be a "knee ****" reaction to their success. So ... ask them how to fix it. You might be surprised by their insights.

ended it for me as soon as I realized what was happening.
Absolute ridiculous.

Now with no league event, it was a lot poorer payouts. Many real players with rediculuosuly low payouts were offered between an occasional bot of 69.12k power short attack that would cost me in med packs to defeat. Only with non-bots did I see lower power bases, but also with low payouts.
The only real think that is wrong for me is the over numbering of 69.12k bot short attacks offered. Would be nice to see a 69.12k bot long attack once in a while! They don't exist.

Yeah same here. I get more short range matchups by a huge margin
You might want to look at your strategy over. You have to play smart. You might have to duck under cover to avoid being hit - especially from a sniper. A hit from a sniper will take a lot from your "health". On the other hand, what used to be a shot or two to take down an opponent will now take three or four shots - as the defenses increases. You can not stay in the open and shoot an opponent until you take him down. You might have to take a couple of shots, duck under cover and then take another shot when situation permits. There's a reason why we are given 5 minutes. You do not get any additional AP or additional diamonds by finishing the match in half the time.
