Frustrating Gyms Experience
I know there are already countless complaints regarding the gyms lags, ghost energy bars, failed charged moves and etc.. But what frustrated me most is this scenario.
Several times, I was trying to take over a rival gym that has only 1 Pokemon in it. But when I took it down to the final battle where its CP is below 1k, there will be 2 more new Pokemons will join in. So I have to battle through not just the 3 Pokemons but also endless gym bugs/lags and consuming more revives and potions in the process.
And that's not all. After completing 2 rounds of battles, 1-2 more new Pokemons will join in, making the gym having 5 defenders all in the space of less than 20 mins while the team replenished the defenders' motivation back to full.
And that's when I finally lose my motivation and just close the app instead of wasting my time to play gym battles anymore. Anyone of you ever experience this scenario?

I want to qualify myself by saying I was Software Engineer and a certified I.T. Project Manager. Imagine if your bank reacted to your deposits this way. . it here, no it's not. . it's here, no it's not. . it's here no it's not. Okay half of it is here. Imagine if your business software worked this way. You won't last long. Oh! wait. This is how Niantics
software works? This software is CRAP. They need to fire the software engineers that actually wrote this code and fire the Project Manager that promoted this CRAP into production,
This is why I sorta stopped attacking all gyms to begin with...
Berry and mon defense is powerful and can make you battle endlessly it feels.
Of course, if it's my team in a gym, I put mons in too and berry everyone up and piss off my rival team players if they are there trying to take it down...
It's probably a bug, but the gym rework, IMO, new gym for coins, worst than before...
Raids, mostly positive for everyone...
