I know for most of us it might be generally difficult to deliberately give someone a heightened chance to defeat your own base. Some of us may even laugh at another's failed attempt(s) as they collect the diamonds and intel they have "earned". However, I would like to know from anyone, have you ever pushed for an act of random kindness towards another player? Or inversely, has another player ever given you an enhanced chance at victory after seeing your struggle? 

To be clear, I do mean this to be purely sentimental, so if the purpose of doing such a thing was strictly for personal gain (the opportunity to lose victory points to be matched with easier opponents) I do not believe it should count towards common courtesy.
