5* arena bug

My 5* arena streak is close to 100. I'm down to using r3 4*. I load a new match, but kabam puts me up against 37k worth of 5* opponents. I try spending units to get a better match up. 3 attempts later and 20 units and I'm still staring at the same 3 opponents. Same summoner, same champs. You can see from the attached images. Kabam, please review and fix this.

    Not a bug - don't use anything less than an r4 4* in 5* arena.

    Also just an FYI - you blocked out your username at the top of the images but not above your arena team.

    And its the exact same as your forum name. Not doing a great job at staying so anonymous.

    Just thought you'd want to know.

    OK. Lesson learned.

    There is a solution to preserve your infinite streak - you need to R4 one of your 4*s. Don't need to level him up past Level 1. Once you do that, spend another 5 units and it will match you to a normal fight.

    Of course this assumes you have T4B to do so - if not, go to Glory story, run T4B shard arena, complete this month's monthly quest to getT4B. Anything you can before returning to arena

    The real point: Kabam does not need to 'fix' anything. You simply cannot run teams of three 4* 3/30s in a 5* arena. Make sure at least one is 4/40 + 2 3/30s and you should be good.

    Good luck!

    Honestly the whole ranking/level minimums are irrelevant and have been for as long as I remember but I guess it is just easier for people to go by that so that is why most guides/people specify.

    What it is based on is total PI or prestige of the 3 champs chosen. For example with my mastery setup I keep a combined PI over 9k and I am good.

    As soon as I fall below 9k, for example a team consisting of 3/30 moon knight, cap marvel, rhino I have run into these deathmatches over streak 100.

    Therefore the whole point to shedding light on this is to let you know you DO NOT need to pair your 3/30s with a r4 4*, but rather pair two low PI 3/30s with a high PI 3/30 such as a mordo or pheonix for example.

    Since I have been doing that I have yet to run into a deathmatch since and it has been over a month.

    It works in the same fashion as dungeons did with minimum total rating I am near certain and I personally have tested comparing the mythical "rank minimum" such as an unduped magik at 4/40 is equivalent to a high sig duped mordo at 3/30.

    Test for yourself in a t4b arena for example when they say you need 2 champs @ 3/30 and 1 r4, toss in a high dupe mordo or high dupe Phoenix @3/30 as your r4 and it still works.

    Edit: so again the only reason why people build guides around ranks and levels is because certain ranks and levels pretty much guarentee a minimum PI i.e. most 3/30s in most mastery setups tend to be above 2500 PI.

    Last 2 posters are correct - high prestige 3/30s like Mordo/Quake/Phoenix will be OK too. OP's situation
    n is more dire as he's already selected champs and can't change them - his only option is ranking up (assuming they are already 3/30s)
