Does Doom featured arena results mark the return of arena?

My point is though the end game and whales have doom, still I never expected that 6star Doom will go to 62 Million. The reason is Arena bots. If arena bots were active, the minimum cutoff would be higher. I mean higher than this 62 Million.
I think Kabam has done a great job in removing/banning Arena bots and I believe we will see the return of Arena.
I am very hopeful that now everyone (except heavy whales) have a good chance of getting their most favourite and/hunted champs from Arena.
Kudos Kabam!

No. Right now it looks like more people were afraid to do the arena because they were expecting over 200 million scores. Now that people know how low he went in round one, you should expect a bigger than rush for round two

I can't wait for thursdays complaints of "I did 60mil and only got 5* doom - i want compensation for my time"

LordPSN

Ahem. Actually it is just more than 60 million! So 60 million will definitely give you 5star Doom

I don’t see where all the “round 2 will be higher” idea is coming from. If someone has the units and the roster to go for doom, they would have gone in round one.

The big reason is almost everyone with the units and the champions already has a doom, so imo only the top 20-35 spots will be really high points for the whales who still need him, and you can expect a meh result after that.

I think the reason its low i think almost everyone in high tier alliances have doom and he's an old champion now i don't see everyone in my alliance have a 6 start doom and most max sig not one person grind for him we just went for units, i think that's the same for most alliances also.

Strongly agree with the last point, it’s like Brian or any other grinder will tell, you’re never really guaranteeing the champ until you you go well and beyond what most people say they’re going for.

By the way 60 million didn’t get you a 5* second round. 90 million maybe but not 60 million.

Every time they had a BGT go for a low round 1, it inspires plenty of others.

Well, I know what 99+ mill in the second round yielded…….

After coming up short of 6* Shang Chi, and now this, what little desire was left in me to grind is now running on fumes.

Put up just over 120m and placed 121.
No idea how much #100 did

Heard someone say they hit 101 with 124m.

Now I don’t want to say I told you so…

But damn the Doom arena score rocketed up, I did think that the low score in round 1 would mean that lots of people would jump on it as an opportunity to get doom.

Long time observers of the arena knew exactly what would happen, because we've seen it all before many times.

Arena cutoffs are not about scoring. They are about psychology. (In this case) the top 100 people get the prize. It doesn't matter how much effort they put it. When 101 people put in blockbuster effort, the cutoff is super high. When 99 people put in blockbuster effort, the cutoff is much lower. When 48 people put in blockbuster effort, the cutoff can fall dramatically because the guy who normally places 151 isn't putting in tons of points to get to 151. They are just coasting in with 50, 60, maybe 70 million points. When a lot of the top grinders don't bother, someone still has to win.

People don't put maximal effort into arena. They put in the effort they think is reasonable for the reward they think they are going to get. When they are right most of the time the arena scoring tends to fall into an equilibrium of self-fulfilling prophesies. But every so often, everyone is wrong. When that happens cutoffs change dramatically, and everyone's confidence in their predictions takes a hit, and everyone changes behavior to accommodate. In this case, the people who absolutely knew that 100 million would not be enough were wrong in round one, and a lot of them decided to try a whole lot harder in round two, guaranteeing that scores would go up because people were in fact trying a lot harder.

I put up over 6 million and didn't get him. Clearly the bots are still alive and well.

You got a 3*.

Salute to players grinding 60mm points or above. It’s like running a 60km marathon and a mission impossible for me.

It is impossible right now because you don't have many r2 and r3 6*s
Once you get there you will cruise after 3xmultiplier in featured arena
