The new arena needs to be fixed.

So. I'm in an alliance that easily competes with the best in the game. I have easily one of the better rosters in the game as well. And you know what the new cutoff for Killmonger was?

Thirty. Five. Million.

With my roster, it would not be humanly possible to achieve such a score without refreshing champions at the cost of about an Odin's worth. So Kabam has basically said that there is now no possible way to succeed in arena without spending. This seems inherently wrong to me. Doesn't it seem wrong to you guys as well?

Kabam. Top 150 MAY have worked when the game first started. But as your base has expanded, so has the rage at the arena. You need to fix this and expand the 5* champion winner pool. Otherwise it's extremely likely those 650 players who used to get the 4* every week will abandon the arena as well. And then the money starts to dry up...

It's time to listen to the players. Expand the pool for us. Please. (note: I consistently placed in the top 250 in the 4* arena, but I cannot compete with the whales here.)

    It will probably be lower next time. I wonder if it was that high due to the stamina packs that were sold...

    Just speculating.

    35 million is absolutely insane!!

    TBH, I see it as those spenders will always get the Featured Arena wins for high-demand champs....if I want someone...I wait for the Basic Arena to come around.

    Quit complaining. You want them to GIVE AWAY 800 brand new featured 5 Star champs twice a week. Get real.

    Sorry man. Maybe stick to the 4 Star basic arena.

    I find this comment highly misinformed. 1. They were doing this with 4*s not a long time ago, when 4*s were basically what 5*s are now. They had smaller prize pools in the past, but the player base was also much, MUCH smaller back then. Remember Dormammu? His cutoff was ridiculous, but I managed to win him without spending all the same.

    2. It makes sense money-wise. If there are more champions available to be handed out, then more players will believe they have a chance, more players will spend to get them, and Kabam is happy. It is entirely in their best interests to widen the pool at least somewhat, lest they risk completely alienating the nonwhales who spend, but not enough to get 35 million.

    And 3. Who the heck does 4* basic arena when you can win so much more from 4* featured? Or could. I got top 10% in 5* arena without going too hard.

    Trust me, those stamina packs were gone in about 10 minutes for the whales. xD

    Oh damn it was only 35m? I was expecting higher. If you want to get a 5* in that area you NEED to spend units, and preferably on 6* champs. This is because it has so few winners, and the reward is so high (a basically a featured 5* pull guaranteed)

    I'm not complaining but 800 twice a week is hardly anything compared to the total playerbase
