The Golden Age of Arena

For me, the golden age of arena was when the 4* basic arena was introduced. Keep in mind there was no 5* arena at this time and were not the meta. If you had the time, you could grind away for any champ that you wanted as long as you put in the work. My roster grew by leaps and bounds at this time of the game. When the shift to 5*s happened and the 5* featured arena was introduced, I like many others shifted from grinding for champs to just hitting milestones. This has what has caused the reduced interest in the arena for me. To fix the new arenas I would personally like to see the following:

Summoner trials - leave as is. For people that are newer to the game, they should not be focusing so much on arena with the increased speed of progression introduced in this game.

6* Basic - Leave the milestone rewards as is and only allow 5*s. Hold on and hear me out on the rest. The 5 and 6* champs should be percentage based rewards instead of a limited number, to allow more people to get said champ. Give us a reason to grind as there is a possibility. Also 5* refresh timers should be cut in half. This way if you want to put in the work, you actually can. This also gives everyone a fighting chance as now smaller rosters can compete.

6* Featured - Leave as is but change the milestone rewards to include cav shards instead of gmc shards and lock to cav and above players. Lets face it gmc shards should have been added to the arena 2 years ago, and if I wanted gmc shards I would grind the arena on Sunday. I know I will get backlash from people that are not cav or above being locked out of this arena. Lets face it though, if you are not progressed this far, you do not have the roster to even touch the sides in this arena. As it stands, anyone that is throne breaker is probably in the same boat as me - 4 and 5* champs are just iso and gold, nothing more. Give us a chance to obtain more 6*s. People use to grind arena not just for the basic champs, but for phc's to do massive openings. Adding cav shards would do the same again, rather than just waiting every 2 weeks to open one from the calendar.

    I've always disliked arena and run it as a necessary evil. There was no golden age lol

    Basically this. They should think about new mechanics in arena to make it fun instead of just tweaking the milestones and rewards. Or just add a bunch of weekly objectives to arena.
