5vs5 Arenas? A saviour to the current state of arenas or bad idea?

I really believe these can help make arenas fun again and bring some competitiveness back in arenas. Back in 2015, they were a pleasant addition to the game but was plagued with issues. But I have faith now

Without running hi/hi/low unbalanced, you could be tripped up currently using same-strength teams if you happen to mess up in 2 of the fights. But if bringing 5 man arena teams you’d be able to mess up twice and still keep the streak (better chance at winning 3 of 5, than just winning 2 of 3).
And for Unbalanced method, you could probably pull down the opponent’s overall rating a little bit lower with 3 HI, 2 LO, that what you can now. Currently your single low rated sacrifice only affects 33% of the overall team rating, but with 5-Man teams your 2 low rated ones would affect 40% of the overall team rating so opponents might even be a little easier with 5-Man arena.
Or you could do a combination of Unablanced and Same-Strength, and just bring 1 LO out of the 5. Would pull down opponent rating (not quite as much) but you'd have a “safety net” fight available just in case you lose one of those higher hero fights.
