Put down the talking notes and listen to the community.
It is NOT a major improvement. In fact, the minor improvement to the AI in earlier matches is far outweighed by the craptasticness of the rest for noobs and vets alike.
The more relevant thing for Kabam is that I did not move to other game play. I have T4b and T1a in overflow that will expire in a few hours. Normally, I would use them to rank a five star to rank 3 or 4 for arena play even if the champ is not God tier. But it makes no sense to do that now because a ranked meme champ won’t hold up in the new arenas. So, one of my main reasons to play is gone now. I have time on my hands this morning. Maybe I’ll hunt for another game to play. Or maybe I’ll find other things to do IRL.
The point is, this game thrives because it is an addiction. But if players spend less time in the game, they may wean themselves from the addiction. Kabam needs to offer game play that is easy, fun and time consuming to keep us playing and keep us hooked. For many that was the arena. If the arena is no longer easy and time-consuming, then many of us may wean ourselves off of the game. And that won’t be good for the game.
Big mistake, Kabam.
I will give Kabam props on the arena AI is spot on!! Love it now they are actually fighting! Well done there...
All the arena grinders always complain about bots and such.. but they became bots?...
If its not worthy stop doing it...
Featured - since 5s champ are alllowed its has much more impact than 4s basic arena
Untill match 21 the fights are decent (maybe harder before the update) after 21 match things going bad and you need at least 5s R4 champs or so since i got crazy champs like Fury, Dr Doom and so on with 15k PI
Since most of my 5s champs are r2 and only one is r3 i cant pass match 23
i guess its the same with 5s featured with 6s champs
On 4s basic the new members will suffer the most since they wont have much arsenal of.ranked up 4s champs
Hope its help
1) 4 Stars maxed out, will probably fight maxed out 5 Stars
2) 5 Stars at Rank 3, will probably fight maxed out 5 Stars
3) 5 Stars at Rank 4, and 6 Stars at Rank 1, will fight maxed out 6 Stars.
Will you see any BAD champions at 5/65, or 3/45? NO
This is why Arena is hard for many players.
An easy fix, instead of going up 2 Ranks at all three of these pain points, go up ONE rank, ESPECIALLY for 3)
And again this morning.
These changes to arenas are essentially telling us to do one of two things with our 5*s: either take them to at least r4, or do not rank them at all, unless you do not ever want to use them in arena.
That’s all that needed to be corrected. Please keep the AI adjustment and revert the match-making algorithm since your “testing” obviously didn’t include anyone familiar with infinite streaks and breaking that was completely unnecessary.
Constantly matching teams of 6 star rank 3 champs consisting of Doom, Nick Fury, Domino, etc. Very painful fights with low rank 5 star trash champions.
Oh and good luck if you have to face 6* r3 Elsa Bloodstone with double edge without a mutant in your team.. you're dead from the degen alone
But thanks for the 3* I guess. No reason to spend $200+ for one anymore
Again, will you see any BAD champions at 5/65, or 3/45? NO

99% of people would not complain if they didn't run into Meta characters at 6/3, or even 5/65 in the 4 Star Featured.
I think you're missing the big picture. I have over 125 wins in the 4 Star Featured and have not lost a series since this new Arena. I don't run 5 Star Featured because my roster is not developed enough.
