The higher the rating of your champion, the more points you get. This is why heavy arena grinders use full suicides in their mastery setup cause that will allow them to get maximum points in the arena.
As @DRTO said, they're closely related to your PI (rating). A good estimate would be that a maxed 2* gives 3x the points of a maxed 1*, maxed 3*s triple maxed 2*s, etc.
Yes that is meant to happen, a max 4* will give around 10-15k points while a max 5* will give around 40k points I think. There is a huge jump in points as you go from 1* to 6* champs.
My r2 5* domino give me like twice the points as my r5 4* starlord. Is that meant to happen?
It's also tiered based on the Star of a champion - e.g. a 5/65 5* will most likely get 10-13k points without a streak multiplier. A 6 Star R2 with the same PI will be more than double that and about 20-25k points without a streak multiplier. It is also dependent on the PI of the opponents you face i.e. the higher the PI on both ends the more points you get.
5 stars give a lot more points than 4 stars and 6 stars give a lot more than 5 stars, but in terms of being the same star rating it’s the pi of you and the champ you’re facing that impact points
As stated, the rating of your hero (higher rating, and by association their Rank/Level) give higher points.
Also the rating of your opponent (during the few Thanos/Kang Team matches that dip to lower rating because they have NO Mastery, you’ll see a little drop in points compared to if they were a fully ranked “Real” opponent at that point). As well as choosing the bottom (normally higher rating) of the 3 team opponent choices (when facing Real teams) will give you a little more.
And in general, 5* will give “about” double the points as a similar rated 4*, and 6* will be “about” double that again.
As well as a weird quirk comparing points using 5* champs in the 4* Feature Arena (and the Cat Arenas) vs the 5* Feature Arena. 5* used in the upper 5* Feature Arena for some reason give about an additional 22-25% more points than what they do in all the other Arenas you can use them in (under the same situations). I’ve compared the same 5* teams, at the same points in Win Streak #, between the different arenas and it has ranged between 22-25% more points in 5* Feature Arena over numerous tests.
