Has anyone noticed the change in play very recently - specifically last night and today? My total gems and average ranking per game fell hard.

One change being lack of monsters, especially around the edges.

The average number of gems dropped and I’m in the top 5 with 30 gems. I feel like I’m running around, searching for monsters and we are all fighting over the same 2-3.

It’s like they removed them in certain modes to stop farming and force attack.

In addition, I suddenly can’t escape squads. Even later in the game they are everywhere. The majority of squads last longer, they’re bigger, bolder, and they run around the complete board. It’s almost like every squad is right by me at all times. I turn to run and another squad is right there. There’s 3 squads by me, packed in the middle, can’t run down the sides, and packed with squads on all corners.

I usually bust 1-2 bots in the beginning and now, I can’t find them to bust.

I know it sometimes happens, but this has been a night and day difference. Not that I’m mad about it. It’s just something I’ve noticed and wondered if anyone else has too.

EDIT: Adding Info

Another thing I’ve noticed is the almost purposeful character options where I know it’s setting me to lose. Open a chest and - Primo, Chicken, Goblin. Use a reroll? Same. Like clockwork, the first three chests will be Primo, Chicken, and Goblin during that match.
