Tournament shards

Acrofales

Why are they not assigned by arena power or something to make it even a little bit fair. I hit level 80 two days ago, and am in a shard with Team Instinct and other level 85 whales. While the shard is huge and I can maintain top 1500 without too much investment and might be able to hit 500 if I really try, it's just outright demotivating to look at the shard. I'm sure there are plenty of players around my strength. Hell, it'd probably be enough to make a separate shard for 80-84 and then 85. But there is no reason to place a September fish in a shard with a December whale (I'm guessing December, but it's true that they might be newer, as I have no way of knowing. Plenty of 7* Baze floating around, so there's no doubt about the whale part).

Because tournaments suck, you'll find this out very quickly. Majority of the population who is between level 80 and 85 is pretty much at a loss unless they are a whale or save up a ton of ally points and have a ton of free time. And even then you're not guaranteed to stay in top 100 using 100K plus ally points.

Anyone who is below level 80 has a far better chance of getting these tournament rewarded characters because there is less competition and less whales.

From what I've seen a lot of people who like tournaments are either whales or people under level 80.
