Arena Rewards are completely trash for the time invested.

I am fairly consistent player which plays from 2 to 3 hours a day. My current account hasn't been made for long. Roughly about 1 month or so. I decided to do the arena and try and get the new featured champion in the beginner bracket. I thought it would be nice addition to my team. I grinned more than usual , roughly 4 to 5 hours a day in arena alone. I got up to roughly 1.75 million points. Which for a an account that only has 16 4 stars and 1 5 star is a little hard to do when your not the best at the game. Its not the fact I didn't get the champion that I'm disappointed with its that fact that around 15 hours of grinding could lead to 400 4 star shards and 200 5 star shards. Instead of a full new champion you get not even a quarter of a 4 star crystal. In my opinion they really need to reconsider there arena because I can understand why many players never do it. It is a grind in a half to get any champion worth it and your never even guaranteed the champion when you grind for as many hours as I did. However, this is just me voicing my opinion a otherwise amazing game aside from the arena feature in the game. I feel to fix this issue need to at the least increase the rewards of this because the time invested is not ever worth the chance of getting a reward such as a 4 star. Down below is the rewards and rank I got for investing 13 to 15 hours into. I also put a screen shot of incursions rewards to see that they are about the same rewards for 90% less of the time. Also the screenshot of my champions I used. Lemme hear what you think of my post down below. Thanks for reading!

    What about units. How many did you get doing the incursion? Huh? Shards isnt all, and arena is the most efficient way to gain battle chips and units.

    TheHeroDeserved I got roughly 50k battle chips which is 25 crystals I got about 200 units to 250 units and maybe about 150k gold max. In my opinion of the amount of a grind it is to get only around 200 units (if you get lucky from the crystals), and about 150k gold plus 400 shards 4star shards and 200 5star shards. Incursions also gives at the least if you finish the first 5 zones about 1000 5 shards and a 2000 4 stars and 150k gold which this could take you about 2 hours. Which this you get about 1/4 of shards, same about of gold and like 150 units for 15 hours of grinding. One is just way better uses of time than the other.

    Incursion is a brand new game type, which surely have some great rewards considering shards. Im just saying, that arena rewards isnt trash, since you otherwise had to purchase the 200units. In addition to your opening, I guess you got a decent amount from the milestones as well? You cannot compare the two game, since they offer different rewards.

    In the end, the best thing is, if you dont like grinding arena, you dont have to.

    You can compare the to because they give almost Identical rewards other than the units of course ,but incursion you can do in a fraction of the time. Also I like grinding for arena it is just fact playing arena does give the amount of rewards for the time invested. I respectful disagree with your statement about the rewards not being trash. Thanks for the discussion!

    Arena is much more for units, that’s where it’s at
  • JustGoWithThatJustGoWithThat Member Posts: 14 ★
    @SummonerNR It was 1 - 50 would get the Sorceress Supreme 4 star character , for the beginner bracket
  • JustGoWithThatJustGoWithThat Member Posts: 14 ★
    @Lvernon15 I would agree for people that maybe do the first 3 checkpoints or so but most people who grind for 4 to 5 hours for a champion not the units. And to spend that much time to get only 1/4 of a 4 star and 200 5 star shards is kinda weak in my opinion.

    If you’re grinding 4-5 hours for 11-25% in the 4* basic then you’re doing something wrong, I get to that thread hold in about 90 mins

    @Lvernon15 1 - I) did the 4 star featured if you read the top 2) I only have 18 champions if you look at the jpg above
    And you probs have more than quadruple my champions as well...

    At the beginning stages of your account, arena grinding will be very time consuming because of the limited roster you have. I remember spending a ridiculous amount of hours all three days just to get a specific 3*, which today I never use anymore.

    The rewards today are much better than years past and hopefully will improve in the near future, but what you’re experiencing now will be your reality.

    The videos you’re watching on YT with all the maxed 5*s or r3 6* aren’t going to come wo a significant cost, whether it be time or money, it’s up to you to pick which one you want to sacrifice more of.

    In that case you’re trying to punch above your weight and that’s why it takes forever, so lower arenas
