We are aware that the Twitch Drops campaign started late and that as a result most players did not receive most, or any, of the drops. We will make it right, and are currently looking into the possible options, please stay tuned.
Thank you for your patience

So the new arena is now online. How does the community feel about this? Is this a step forward from the previous version or its the opposite? Your views in comments pls.

Worst "QOL" change ever... Complete opposite of what players expected or wanted
Full rant:
THESE CHANGES ARE TERRIBLE
11 FIGHTS IN, DEATH MATCH (for me anyway on Hard difficulty and like twice my Champs) but somehow I'm supposed to maintain a winning streak and have to score over 6 million points for a new 3* feature Champion when I used to only need 640,000????
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE, ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE...
I haven't missed getting a new featured 3* Champion EVERY week (even when it took around 1.4-1.5M to get a 3*) since July 2019
That is clearly over if these changes aren't reversed or FIXED because right now, the Arena is HOT GARBAGE
I'll NEVER spend another penny on this game and I might end up quitting over this... NOT kidding
Way too high milestone, and it punishes those who can't spend 24/7 in Arena/doesn't have 30+ 6*s.
This only benefits whales or massively developed accounts.
Featured 3* used to be 640K points. I could rattle that off with my preferred roster of 3* in less than 2 hours.
Now I have to grind 6.5MM points to get that same Featured 3*? Even with 6*s (of which I only have 3) and 5*s, I’m looking at probably six hours of grinding. I have a life; wife, two teen daughters, full-time professional job, elderly parents, etc. I don’t remotely have the time or energy to put in that kind of time.
On the Basic, sure it’s lower milestones, but removing the PHC shards means I’ll dupe fewer champs, yielding less ISO, making progression far harder than it was before.
My alliance is losing its collective mind over this. We’re all on newer or second accounts, most of us are a little older, and these changes screw us all over big time.
This change benefits the veteran players under the guise of “QOL”, but it cuts out a wide group of us mid-level players who may have just gotten Uncollected or aren’t able to play in every free moment of the day.
To do the same i must make 10M in basic arena lol
They just doubled my arena grinding time
Just so 100 grinders can get a 6 star
I have a big and deep roster, been playing for 4 years but without spending a huge amount of units, I can’t even get close to the top 100.
With 2hrs cooldown easy to get 270 units..
Now to get 200 units... get 16M score.
Players feedback is clearly a 'No'
The primary thing that Kabam monetizes is units. If they reduce the amount of free units that can be earned in the arenas (either from milestones or through battle chips), it will force players who need energy refills, revives, etc., to have to spend REAL WORLD MONEY on the game.
Hence, why the arenas were slanted to favor the whales and people who already are spending cash on the game. Keep those folks fed, fat, and happy while systematically squeezing the FTP players to the point they have to spend cash or risk not progressing.
Also my 6* roster is ok, maybe mediocre even, but I already have all champs I like and own ranked up. I can use others r1 to do arena, but it's boring and not enjoyable (dpxf and other useless guys). In 3* arena I could use any new champs to see how good they are. A great place to play with champs you like but don't own as 5* or 6*. New arenas take away that as well
I'm not a whale but I spend REAL $$$ monthly, so does my enjoyment playing the game, which is rapidly dissipating, or my non-whale money, not matter???
I don't even get a lot from arena, most of the time I'm just lazy to do it. But perception of things like that is a big deal imo
Make it more accurate.
I have two 6* and maybe a few dozen 5*. After 4 years, I'm still not uncollected and don't really care if I ever reach that. My focus has been on events and arenas. Not time intensive. Get the 4* basic arena champ if it's a new one for me, or an awakening dupe. AQ and AW are major time kills. Now grind heavy arenas just got bumped up to super grind heavy.
Very little content left to keep my interest.
