Raid difficulty up, rewards down. WAI?

This might not be a bug so feel free to ignore if it is intentional. I hadn't noticed issues that others had seen with minimal rewards from raid fights until 6/14/17. Rewards are very low for taking out bots, it was somewhere between 120-140 for 800'ishPI bots.
Additionally, I think raid defense bots may have inadvertently been slipped some amphetamines. They are all of a sudden much more difficult. For instance, chaining a heavy during a combo is usually effective as long as their heavy is a melee attack but those just do not land now. Also, the defending bot has started a combo on me multiple times while I'm in the middle of a combo myself. They didn't evade either.
It seems to make little sense to reduce the cost of alpha sparks if raid rewards go down as well, not sure that was an intended thing.

I feel like I'm struggling a lot more to clear bases than I was before the recent update, that's been a bit of a downer. MV1 isn't really doing it against harm accelerator nodes as much either. The change to chaining heavy attacks with combos means playing more defensive and if he's not hitting them he's not healing to counter the bleeds.
There's obviously a way to make it work that I'm just not getting since 2.5k teams can still walk through my 6k base on a regular basis, I just haven't worked it out.
- 4/40 Iron Hide
- 3/30 Barricade
- 3/30 Optimus (classic)
I use IH to deal with harm accelerators because he can finish fights quickly. My failure rate is maybe 1%, I have raided the full 1,2k alpha shards since day one with no problem at all (average reward per raid 5-6k)
