Whats pointless is doing your best for 3 minutes vs complete noob, before you realize that he is trying to counter shock troops with at gun. And leaves the game after 4 minutes.

That's pointless. Unless you find pleasure in trashing noobs of course
So he will keep dropping in ladder until he finds opponent who counters pgren blobs with mine detector CEs and will have his game of skill and you will go up until you'll hit your challenge.
Do you really need to be told that before the game?
Name me one good reasons why stars were useful, but don't try with "it showed skill" because I've met plenty of 5 star pros who tried to counter shocks with AT guns.
