I have a question:

I was playing a fort game (about my 4th today). I'm currently on a 7-win streak. I noticed that in the last 2 games, my opponents got loads of crates, where I got like 3 or 4 each game. An example can be found in the screenshot below, it was my 7th game where the opponent got a crate every 4 or so turns.They both lasted till sudden death (I won of course)

This brings me to a question:
Is the ammount of crates influenced by a players ranking?


(and yes: I am aware that my opponent could have gotten more crates because he had more fort, thus landing space for crates, left.)

I doubt it but it's an interesting idea. I've also wondered if crates favour the weaker team. It seems like a low health worm is more likely to get a health crate falling near them.

Health crates have always favoured weak worms in previous games, so this isn't so far fetched.

I've definitely noticed crate drops happening closer to and more frequently around weaker players. it's entirely possible it could base it on rank as well, but chances are good that you were just killing them enough that the game was trying to give them a hand.
