I'm getting my ass handed to me in T21+. My score isn't bad compared to my friends list, but most of them aren't trying very hard in AR.
I voted for L!Azura in find and vote, but maybe Nailah should win so that I don't have to think as much in offense.

It is OK, I ended up in tier 24 without trying at all. Some fights are very hard, and some even next to impossible depending on the units you have available, but in general it's OK, I wouldn't want it to be too easy as that becomes boring fast.
Either way, there isn't much reason to worry once you reach tier 21. IMO the most difficult step is going from 20-21, now that you got there you can relax a bit (if you want to) or try to go for top 50 if you feel like it, *when* you feel like it. Every season you will start on equal terms as everyone else in T21.
This is the good part of T21, and I'm glad they implemented T27 this way. When I have the time on my hands, and feel like it, and can have some fun and try to compete for the top spots. If I am not inclined for it, or don't have the time, I can just yolo it and call it a day, it's not like I'm gonna miss the 2 or 3 extra dragon flowers.
