HELP ALL button

Is it possible to add a HELP ALL button for your champs in arena? It seems that it is too time consuming to request help for 80+ champs. You are able to HELP alliance members 4 at a time, but have to request 1 at a time. Would be a nice addition to Arena Grinders to save a few minutes

This is indeed what happened in the past.
There's a really easy solution for that: rolling helps.
Press help all, add all the help requests to a queue, and on a delay, actually ping the server for a help request as you work your way through the queue. Instead of firing 4 help submissions at once (now) or 50 at once (and crashing the server) , REQUEST all submissions be submitted, and in the backend of the game there can even be a working / loading icon so you don't leave the help screen too early) start submitting and fulfilling those help submissions. Ping one every 100 milliseconds or something.
There are ways to do it - if Kabam hasn't adopted them, it's just because they think the current system is good enough and they can't be arsed to budget it while making other additions they deem more important.
In my opinion, there should be 3 buttons that replace the current 'Help 4' button...
Max Loyalty:
Is only active (clickable), when you have not claimed the all the 1,000 daily loyalty that you are allowed and there are helps in the queue. If you still have loyalty to get, it claims as many helps as needed and are available in the queue to cap you out for the day, leaving all the remaining helps available for other alliance members to claim.
Help All Energy:
Is only active (clickable), when there is one or more Energy Helps in the queue generated from other alliance members. If you click, it will claim every Energy Help, leaving all Arena Helps available.
Help All Arena:
Is only active (clickable), when there is one or more Energy Helps in the queue generated from other alliance members. If you click, it will claim every Arena Help, leaving all Energy Helps available.
So why have the 3? Depending on how active your alliance is or how click happy a particular alliance member may be, these options will allow you to claim quickly all the loyalty you personally need, while leaving helps for other alliance members to claim so they can also get their loyalty. You don't want to have someone (or a few alliance members) that are click happy always clearing the queue so that others aren't able to get their loyalty. This may already happen under current setup and while this may not be an issue for many active alliances, it just gives the options and I like options.
I think it is also important to distinguish between Energy and Arena helps. Personally, I feel that energy helps are more critical to have happening more often as they immediately generate something for your alliance member to use in their game play. Arena helps do knock off some time off the refresh clock, but if they just got put out there in the queue, the alliance member requesting it will still have 1+ hours left to wait until that arena member becomes available to use again. So while you may have personally claimed all your loyalty, the queue may be large but you want to make sure that energy gets sent sooner to your alliance members so you can click the "Help All Energy" button so you don't have to sift thru the queue to find them.

Even if it is somehow harder on the servers, then jaylerd's suggestion will work.
This would be a big quality of life improvement in the game.
