I do not misunderstand your point, I fully understand EXACTLY what you mean, we just have different views is all lol.
If Player A keeps getting pretty easy crates and keeps attacking, so far having a 100% attack ratio and Player B fails 2 of those easy crates in time to attack, so for example Player A has 157, Player B has 89, it is Player A's turn, the crate lands so far and deep it's impossible to collect it and attack in ANY way, he gets the crate, ropes perfect, gets back to the hide, Player B gets easy crate, attacks, it's now 109 for Player B and 110 for Player A, Player A gets the same impossible crate again, and again ropes perfect gets the crate and gets his hide back, Player B gets another easy crate and attacks, it's now 129 for Player B and 87 for Player A, they then both get easy crates for the next 2 turns each and attack again perfect, the score is now, 37 for Player A and 75 for Player B, it's Player A and again Player A gets an impossible crate, but ropes perfect and gets their hide again, Player B gets another easy crate and attacks and now the score is, Player A has 10, Player B has 95, Player A gets easy crate attacks, and hides, has 30hp left, Player A gets another easy crate and attacks and wins the game.
Crates decided this game, and i've seen it happen before.
Even when each player messes up a few times each, but the player who has actually been playing better and has a lead, starts getting impossible crates and the other player gets easy crates, from this point on, crates decide the game if they continue to "rape" one player.
This does happen, has happened, and will continue to happen, I really wish I could see it from your point of view, I would love to be as "calm" as you when things like this happens.
You are right, by roping your best you increase your chances, but what good is roping your best if you are obviously getting impossible or next to impossible crates so many turns while the opponent gets crates so easy and they take a HUGE lead, which you can only really come back from if they start getting hard crates too and can't handle them.
Either way I will still continue to play Ropers, I always will, but I have a choice to play on what maps I want, and if I think I am going to get crate raped with players hosting on maps I think are ridiculous for crates, I will just refuse to play, but if I get to Playoffs, I'll have to play on their maps then and i'll have to take my chances and hope I don't get ridiculous crates xD
