Normally, a team of R1 6* did not get matchups like this. Sure, it's winnable. But my issue us you were supposed to make arena better. Now that my streak is established I'm facing harder matches than what it took to get my streak going. These fights are way longer, still wasting too much time baiting specials. This is not an improvement.
My arena grind is taking more time than before so please tell me how this is an improvement. You literally can't get anything right.
"The "Infinite Streak" is not a feature of the game, but rather the result of the requirements/calculations for finding matches." - False. Player experience show the opposite of this.
"It is always changing and will continue to do so as more and more players have access to higher ranked Champions." - Sure, for the 5-Star Featured Arena, where the proliferation of Rank 3 6-Star Champions affected the meta. But for the 4-Star Featured Arena, you can't go higher than Rank 5 5-Stars. So why did the "improvements" made arena more difficult than before?
"This change is not made only for those that are "in the know" about the Infinite Streak." - uh, ok? This is yet to be proven.
"We promised to lower the number of deathmatches, and we've done just that." - EVERY match since match #10 has been a death match.
"This is a major improvement for all players, especially those that are new to the Arena." - again, this is yet to be seen.
Epic fail Kabam.
EPIC fail
So now instead of a new player learning what they can and can't use in an arena you want them to face nothing but teams double their ratings (that's all that I've faced) and be constantly beat down when the are still building their skills? This seems like a good way to put players off the arena system and maybe even the game

And with this I ask: if @Kabam Miike already has a fixed position on this and they will not change arenas to how they were before, can we use any team, even if they are 5 * R1 and we will still have a chance to win? Without leaving it breaks much stronger streaks than those that are currently dating? Since according to @Kabam Miike any team we carry, it will have a maximum 2x of pi more than us
Problem solved
Proof.
It just changed the fact that u dont get that easy fight anymore.
In the 4 Star Featured.
Rank 4 and 5, 5 Stars are fine.
Rank 3 5 Stars, run with Rank 1's and pick your matchups
Rank 2 5 Stars, are OK together
Rank 1 5 Stars, are OK together.
Rank 5, 4 Stars, run with lower ranks
Rank 4, 4 Stars, should be OK together
Rank 3, 4 Stars, you can combine, or run with Rank 5's, the reason is because you can use the Rank 5 on a harder matchup, and if you're a decent player, a Rank 3, 4 Star, can beat a Rank 3, 5 Star.
Rank 1 and 2 are safe to run together.
The more I run the 4 Star Featured, the more it doesn't seem that bad. There are some problems in the 5 Star Featured, but the 4 Star doesn't seem that bad, you do have alternatives and it punishes Rank 5, 4 Stars, and Rank 3, 5 Stars the most. For those fights, sandbag. I'm at 93 wins in the 4 Star Featured.
That depends. If I have to Sandbag to get a Streak going, fair enough. If I have to Sandbag my entire Grind, I'm finna throw my phone.
One less thing I'll play now.
First Incursions (takes too long and is boring) and now Arena.
Wonder what will be next to make me lose more interest in the game. Shame, at least we had 5 decent years!
Very annoying. Can't run a team of R4 5* without facing R3 6*. Long fights wasting my life away baiting out specials. This is a massive fail Kabam. Your devs clearly don't play this game. Arena is 10 times worse than before.
How do these things actually go live?
So dissapointing.
