haha, that's how it started for me too. i didn't really start battling until like this summer and the games been out for like 2-3 years by now and it's a big curve to start actually winning, which i'm still not doing much of. But if you keep at it and start to build a team and learn some good tactics and gain more experience you'll eventually become awesome!!!
Eh, not sure if I really want to battle anymore... I know I may sound a bit butthurt right now, but seriously, put yourself in my shoes and think on how it would feel to lose literally EVERY single battle you're in. But meh, I'll see if that changes tomorrow.
Ah well, Its more probabale that I will keep accepting battle request just for the fun of it xD.
