Lets take a moment to talk about matchmaking balance

However, most importantly, you don't have to play anyone by force, just press "Back to MENU" and you will leave the PvP arena without losing any or score. 

thats total wrong, you have to fight or ragequit, but you´ll loose it then!

i guess you have to think, pvp is random, cause sometimes there are 100 gamer in the system waiting for opponents, and sometimes there are 10 or 2... so you can easily play against an opponent you wish to face, if both connect at the same time. and so its chosen who you will face... if you click and at the same time me is clicking, you have to face in guess 90% me with a lot of score...

if you have no deck to face such decks, build that deck... but first practice against the ai, cause there you get the opponent you wish, cause you can choose ai 1-5.

As long as you haven´t found an opponent in PvP, you can click "back to menu" without risk. When you find one, and click "back to menu", you lose a game.
One thing I really like in Elements PvP is, that we DON´T have a PvP score system, you can play against new players as well as a pros. You find all kind of players, that play PVP. That´s nice.

When you find a beginner:
- the chance that he´ll lose is higher, because of game decisions and deck building skills. The beginner, however can also read forums and build most decks.
- you can try new strategies against them, maybe you still win
- you can give tips...

When you find a high-score gamer
- He could have a good/nice/strong deck or a fun deck you don´t know and you could copy or modify it
- You get more money, when you win (partially based on score)
- Higher chance to find a rare in his deck. Also shards.
- some may let a beginner win, if you ask kindly...
- it could be a well-known forum member

When I was a new member, I also liked to win with unupped decks against upped PvP opponents...
