After a season end and based on the reached level it takes place a points subtraction which gets each army to low levels. And that it makes it difficult for those that have reach superior leagues (like gold) to fight their way back. But, it makes it more difficult to complete daily quests and get to superior levels. I am still at Silver league and my rewards are scarce. Hopeful the powerful armies will climb fast and I can measure my forces with some of my caliber.
