what happens if you stack boosters
I've been hearing some people tell me that if you activate two of the same boosters at once it gives you a penalty and makes it so that you can't get rp/lions as fast. Is this true? I'm in a real bad situation since for the past 3 days I got the same 10 percent rp booster and I can't use them up fast enough to get through to the next one since they last a ridiculous twenty missions each and if you don't use them within 2 days they're gone.

Each one you activate reduces the % of its effect. It tells you when you try to activate them.

wow that's ridiculous. I have no choice but to let one of them get wasted now since there's only so many missions I can get through daily. By the time I get to it it's gonna be expired.

To be clear, only if the multiple boosters affect the same thing. For example, if you activate two boosters which both increase lion gain. If you activate one for lions and one for research, there is no penalty.

Its better to activate multiple to let them go to waste.
10% + 10% will be like 14% or such. Not sure exactly but it will still be an increase over the original.

So use both instead of not using 1 and letting it expire.

The more you have them active the more you get screwed over by matchmaking.

This is false. Matchmaking is just matchmaking, regardless of Boosters, premium and plane choices.

Some BRs are less played then others and will have less games, if this is the case and the BRs around your own are more popular, you will end up getting dragged into their games(within the +1 br range ofcourse.)

This is built in into their matchmaker, want to see especially bad matchmaking activate the group booster that gives boost to entire team among the other things, or multiple high value boosters.
You will also notice how it will search longer then for other matches the perfect lopsized team to screw you over.
Not something they would admit but blatantly obvious from long period of using boosters.

Sure you didnt have AB/RB modes selected wrong. M18 is 5.3 in RB and 4.7 in AB. in AB your right to face it. Same could be the issue with your own set up.
Havent noticed being faced with anything i shouldnt of with my own BRs. you can face 1.3 higher in AB air due to averaging, i know that.

A 1.3 difference in BR only occurs in air AB.
