Sad, sad day

Well, Kabam has finally ruined the last part of the game that I still enjoyed - the arena. Since 19.0 came out I have lost my streak in two arenas. Before that it had been at least two years since I lost a streak. They have changed the match ups during the infinite streak and now throw some matches at you where the AI is set on pure cheat mode. I play the arena because it is relaxing, not too hard and gives you something to do to pass the time.
I have no interest in being challenged in the arena. I don’t want to spend that many hours in intense combat. I’ve been playing since December of 2014 and the only thing that has kept me around in the current pay-to-play game mode is the arena. If they don’t fix it I’ll be gone soon. Sad. It was a great game. They have destroyed it.

PI ceiling is higher now because r5 5*s are in the pool.
I don't get why this is so hard to understand.
PI ceiling has increased. There are people with 3 rank 5s, go do the 4 star basic arena that hasn’t changed. But the 4 star feature, 5 star and cat arenas have changed.
I’ve noticed you need to take 2 1/25s and 1 4/40 to be sure. Anything below 9500 PI you risk a death match, sorry to say it.
Having 226k pvp wins doesn't prevent someone from not knowing what they are talking, since you literally don't know what you are talking about. Kabam didn't change anything. The players are the ones who changed it, by ranking up and using groups of 2 or 3 rank 5 five stars.
The arenas now serve the whales who have at least 12-15 R4 5*s, 2-3 R5 5*s and 5-6 6*s.
We just have to find ways to avoid getting death matches and sandbag if we have to.
2 4* r5s and 1 5* r1 has prevented me from ever getting a death match.
Part 1.
This is for arenas that allow 5* champs.
By now most ppl know how to get thru the gauntlet but to keep your streak you can not run a full team of 4* 3/30 or 5* 1/25. The Lowest you can use safely is a team of 2 5* at 1/25 and 1 5* at 2/35. Or 2 3/30 4* with 1 4/40 4*. Or 2 1/25 5* and 1 4/40 4*. You go under that and you risk facing a death squad.
Section B:
If all you do is run just your top champs the game sees this and tries to compensate by either giving a death squad or dealing a hard opponent that pulls impossible counters.
To avoid this you need to switch to a few rounds of low teams or 3/30 4* mixed with 1 4/40 4*.
Part 2.
This is focused to 4* arena.
Again most already know how to get the infinite streak. The Lowest safe team is 4/40 3* or 2/20 4*. If all you do is run teams of 4/40 and 5/50 4* you will face harder and harder ai and face more of the b s opponents such as domino, modok and ironman infinity war all on the same team as maxed 5/50. So take a few round to run 3/30 4* every milestone you hit to play things safe.
I hope this helps people and feel free to copy and paste this when the next post about death squads pops up in 30 min lol.
Why would people understand and work around it, when they can simply blame kabam?
I only use my top champs and past streak 18 I never run inti hard opponents. The ai is ‘t difficult, the champs I fight don’t become the more annoying champs. And there are definitely no impossible counters.
This has came up so many times..
I understand players trying to avoid these fights but check those points out..
Personally I like these matches and deliberately seek them..
Other players have given great advice about how to avoid them but still instead of saying "thanks for the help guys" you just want to be a jerk about it.. Kabam aren't going to change the game for one player..
The game is evolving either evolve with it or quit it the option is yours..
So the people providing facts and advice are trolls but not the guy that says "I know they changed" based on a feeling they are catering to pay players?
Methinks you dont know what "troll" means.
Has worked for me thus far.
I usually do 200+ streak in the feature arena, 12.5 mm or higher score running just five stars. Easy and relaxing. Most arenas before 19.0 I didn’t lose a fight. Losing two in a match hasn’t happened to me in years. So, something has changed and it makes the arena less fun. I’m already in a retirement alliance and have pretty much stopped all spending. Just wanted to let Kabam know that their changes are demotivating me further. Others I known feel the same.
If Kabam doesn’t care, so be it. It’s a free market.
If you lost more health during a combo than your opponent then you chose a poor match for that champ. Even if that was the case though, you couldn’t win the other 2 fights to maintain your streak?
since the new arenas. i only play the 5* feature.
after tfight #19 you can use a team of two 5* 1/22 and one at R3
for 4*s. you can go as low as R3.
anything below that, its a death match. but you can survive those (usually). put your top champs to go first and forget about the third fight. your mission is to beat the first two fights.
dont give up brother. i been at it since the game first came out
I have managed to win more of the deathmatches than lose them, but it's about those with more r5 5* now. and r2 6* as well.
It's always been a calculation based on the highest possible PI. Now that's higher so...
So really what you are saying is you lost a fight. You don't think you can lose because you are just too awesome to make a mistake. Since you lost a fight, you have to find blame on anything else but yourself because it's totally obvious you can't make any mistakes or lose. Got ya..... and everyone else are the trolls...
The fact is you lost a round. Who cares. Kabam didn't change anything, they didn't code your fights to make the A.I cheat, they didn't slow your device down, you lost. Take it and move on.
