Arena, is it me or medium is harder than hard

I've noticed that, in the la 2 arena grinding, when you reach 120+ streak, the fights are harder when you pick medium over hard.
At medium, they rushing me like hell and, a lot of times, I finish with 2 victories. On hard, it's always easier. 100% wins.

Anyone else have noticed it or just my perception?

    yes.. i have noticed that if you chose medium sometimes it gives you two guaranteed wins and a third one will be a loss.. but that is typical.. if you choose hard when you dont have your best champs you lose your streak sometimes though.. so if you compare them basically medium more often is an overall success whereas hard will sometimes be a complete loss if using low ranked champs

    its a win and that means it was not that hard but right in the middle.. at the medium level .. hard is the ones you totally loose on.. and the other hard ones that you are victorious in are obviously not really hard. just challenging.. kabam just calls it hard to boost your ego and make you think you dont suck

    I've noticed the same at times. Medium, the AI is fast.

    Yes. I try to get the most pts, so, I choose hard or medium, based on the champ I see. I try not to get a class disadvantage, so, sometimes, I pick medium or hard.

    @玩玩玩家 if you can get to 17 you can go as high as you want. Kang's team only goes through round 14. As long as you keep you team rating high enough after that you will always get a manageable fight.

    Have a look online. Lots of formulas going around for the Infinite Streak. They vary depending on the Arena. After 21, it can vary from Medium to Hard.

    I saw someone with 1174 Winning Streak (see image), I really don't understand how they did it.

    That's Stara. Very big on Grinding. Much respect.

    1174 isn't any harder than 17, it's just absurdly time consuming and expensive as you'd have to use units to refresh champs. As long as you don't let your team pi drop to low after you get past Kang/Thanos team every match will be manageable.

    Unfortunately, I'm Human. I get tired after a while and I'm not so alert. Lol.

    Sure. I can't imagine doing that much arena. My highest streak is 280 and I doubt I'll ever beat it because I don't like grinding arena. But once you know how to keep a streak you can go as high as desire and sleep allow lol

    1174!!!! My top streak is 228 and I can tell you that I didn't sleep a lot when I did it. So, their is only a couple of things that would make me go higher, a 12 pack of energy drink or, someone else doing it while I sleep.

    you wouldnt have to spend units to refresh.....
    depends how deep your roster is.....
    and wat arena you play.....
    if you are in 4* basic your 4* 2/20 and your max 3* will keep you going you will never run out of champs before your top ones refresh.
    in 4* feat if you have alot of 4* over 4/40 you may possibly get the same thing....

    i cant imagine how long 1174 would take.....
    my highest streak is 300....
    my most matches for a single arena was about 450 and that took long enough......

    That's my point. I'm convince that, with the right roster, I may reach 300-400, but, 1174...You have to play around 59 hours. (3 min/matchup = 20/hour divided by 1174 = 58.7 hours If the game runs fine.) So, you have 13.3 hours of sleep in 3 days...not too bad. lol

    Once I am firmly in the infinite streak range, I always choose the bottom choice on every match because it will always be the highest team rating and thus gives the most points.

    So I can't say I ever stop to pay attention to Hard vs Medium.
