I think this is probably the worst thing a casual player could do if they want equal competition. Any amount of time spent in a F2P league makes it immediately clear how much better other people are at teambuilding, generating PP, and overall execution of PT strategies than you are. And for context, the topmost talented and engaged F2P players are probably at Diamond right now thinking about a WC spot. The next tier down, containing most of the active and engaged F2P teams who interact with the community and take its advice, is probably either in gold or with a slightly worse record in diamond. If you're complaining about stagnation at that stage-- it's hard to beat the best whales in the game at the highest levels-- then I understand that. Anything lesser than that become excuses. After all, none of the good F2P techniques are a mystery. Look at any number of beginner threads on here and you can figure out what to do. Just gotta put in the time.
