There are situations that are debatable. For example, in a game with an unfamiliar person, I try to play without auto-combat and don't use it myself, only because I suspect that auto-combat is used to replay the battle and get a better result.

No, there's no debatable situation here (well, from a formal point of view, there definitely isn't). I violated the existing rules, simply out of a genuine misunderstanding. After Mizrael pointed out the rules, I acknowledged the defeat.

But this is about something else.
Why wouldn't a top player give a victory to a weaker player, even if it was obtained through violations, let alone offer a draw – to increase motivation and interest in the tournament and the game in general. In this case, a draw was not offered for that purpose.

Of course, it's easier for me to talk about it, as I'm not in that situation. But at least, I'd like to believe that I would act that way.

But very often there are situations when the AI seems to be mocking you, for example, not so long ago, it took the Diablo stronghold with two (!) Devils, a defensive unit, and a stack of 17 Gnomes. The hero had 0-1 combat skill, and one archer with 40 damage. So, what do you think, were the units Pixies? Anti-morale only triggered once for my Diablo stack, while morale triggered twice for the opposing Diablo stack. Obviously, this situation is extremely unfair for 90% of similar battles, so if you ask for auto-combat in such a case, it would be a sin not to help.
The same goes for "not having enough time." It's frustrating when you need to think things through, but you only have 10 minutes. Yesterday, in a game, we played for 10 minutes, and I had to use auto-combat twice due to time constraints; it was a very important turn.
If anyone is interested, I've attached the save file.

But what does the AI's "mockery" have to do with it, no matter how much of it there is.

The point is that some "mockeries" or "gifts of fate" are balanced – in the form of additional conditions for their use and are reflected in the rules, while other "mockeries" or "gifts" that create no less imbalance and are in no less need of balancing – are not reflected at all and are not balanced by additional artificial conditions for their use.
