U fail at a star lvl up of a hero, u do not just lose the medals for the attempt, yet also u lose a star rank all the way back down to 1.

I was expecting less penalty with gems, and i guess i was wrong. If this is a rant that goes off-topic, it all stems from the same merit of Free Gems in whatever event/reward/stakes, will drive the successful nature of using them farther into wasted attempts.
I know what plummet means.
Regarding the star, that's the way it works. If you upgrade, you have the chance of failing, even if its 72%,you still have that other 28% that can make it fail and you'll loose a star,or maybe 2 if you upgrade.
If you need gems,but them. The devs are nice enough to AT LEAST put some free gems out there.
