4* featured arena is not fair, to Kabam.
I have played this game for 5 months, have 7 4* 4/40, a lot of 4* 3/30.
.
Before the 4th July, as long as I could win to streak 15, then I used a group of 3 4* 4/40 for streak 16 to 21, I could get to infinite streak without a 4* 5/50. Then, to maintain the infinite streak I used my 3/30s.
.
Now I have to play until streak 17 to be able to use 4/40. If I use 4/40 at streak 16, I will have to fight a group of 2 5* 5/45 - very difficult match. And now, to maintain the infinite streak, I have to use 1 4* 4/40 and 2 4* 3/30 instead of 3x 4* 4/40, or I will end up in a death match.
.
The point is, I have no 4*5/50, and don't have a roster good enough just because I joined the game too late (5 months ago), when everybody is so advanced.
.
Looks, Kabam, now I can not do the infinite streak with the same method I did, I has hit the dead end in this game. And not just me, I mean dead end for new players, in general. MCOC is a good game, I've been playing for 5 months and can't stop playing. I usually grind arena very hard to collect new 4* and 5* shards, that is arguably the main way to expand my roster, and now you shut it down.
.
Why am I hitting the dead end?
1. I can only find more 4* and rank up to 4, done, NO 4* RANK 5.
2. I can not grind 4* featured arena for 5* shards, hence NO 5*.
3. I can't join advanced alliance for AQ map 5, because I have bad roster, hence NO T4CC.
I classify myself as an intermediate player. I was doing pretty good back in the day I joined. But when I ended the first 2 months, you put me in the bracket with people who've been playing for 3 years,... Well, I thought I could still have a way to go, I could catch up, I could grind 4* featured arena for some 5* shard. Then come July 4th, so many people get the second 5/45, and I can't grind arena anymore. So please, make an arena bracket for players from 2 - 6 months, I think that's the solution. I believe there will be a lot of new players hit my dead end and quit the game. When there are no new players, the game will be dead.
.
In conclusion, It's not fair when 2 to 6 months players have to compete in arena with veterans whose roster are so advanced now, especially after July 4.
