Would You Play Arena (More) If There Was No Infinite Streak?

As stated above.
It is my personal opinion that the arena streak (fights 1 to ~26) hinders a lot of the fun in the game. I believe that removing it will benefit the player base because it will help people get more units and gold. It will help Kabam by increasing the average active users as well as average session duration.
Hoping for a lot of votes here, so please share it with your ally mates as well. I will create a new thread suggesting the removal of it using the evidence the poll as support.
Cheers

If you can't win almost every fight in the 4* basic arena even using 3*, you need to upskill.
If it is the 5* arenas and you are getting smashed, grow your roster.
When I created this poll, I had none of this in mind. It was simply to see whether people abhor the arena streak or not.
I can make 600k a round using arena boosts on the 3* (points include 4* use as well) with a pretty short cooldown (Android, lol). I don't do it often because I get bored as hell grinding arena and only shoot for champs of value that are predicted to come in under 3m and only if I can be bothered.
The infinite streak is not the only way to get moving in the arena, I think my second arena took a 161 win streak to make the points and I wasn't following any guides there either.
It's not always about skill...sometimes it's just bad matchups where your champs dont stand a chance and sometimes the AI just dont fire specials and behaves like aon node , no matter how much u try to bait
Arena has gotten really shi***y !!!
Arenas are fine. Our expectations may differ.
Keep increasing the enemy’s pi and the multiplier so that there is at least some skill and fun involved.
Of course aggresive AI would need to be turned on.
The Infinite Streak is Fight 21 and up. They usually range from Medium to Hard Difficulty, and require a minimum Total PI to maintain, otherwise you'll get Deathmatches. Those are self-explanatory.
you do it so you can maintain you x3 score multiplier. if you lose a match you lose ur multipleier and it takes soooo long to score points that way.
Really it starts at fight 15 after you get past kang/Thanos. Easy matches start from 15 on, just that 15-20 can still get you hard fights if you bring in the wrong team.
Well, yes. Typically the Infinite is referred to as 21 and after. You're right, though. That's the threshold.
I sometimes grind for the basic 4*, and very rarely for the Featured 4*, but (for me) life is too short to grind for the Featured 4*/5* arena regularly; particularly as I play on Android.
It would be good to change the mechanisms to maintain a bit of challenge, and at least make the arena slightly interesting. Removing the infinite streak mechanism would be one way to do this. Or resetting it at a slightly higher level of difficulty.
As an alternative, it wouldn't take too much effort for Kabam to develop more villain teams, and give them each a different mastery setup:
Kang: Heavy on defensive masteries
Thanos: All suicides, max damage masteries
Ultron: Offensive and class masteries
Use of Ultron drones (remember them?)
MODOK: Lots of utility masteries; use of mashup heroes (remember them?)
Collector: Balanced array of defensive/offensive abilities
Grandmaster: Heavy on debilitating masteries (resonate, deep wounds, petrify, etc)
Typically I try to get at least most of the milestones in 3 and 4* basic, but I never get very far with 4* featured, as I have to spend most of my time on 4* basic to even have a chance at a champ.
As to the topic of the post, I just wish it was a little less time consuming to get these champs. But I realize if that was the case, then the people with 300k+ ratings would have an even easier time getting champs. I suppose the ideal solution is to figure a way to get the most people possible to qualify for rank rewards, as that would mean more people getting champs.
For the people saying to get better, sure. Summoners like myself need to get better. In the meantime, it would be nice if it wasn't so incredibly difficult and boring to get a few 3, 4 and 5* shards twice a week.
I don't want more challenging fights, I don't want nodes and I don't want to the formulas changed in how matches are selected.
Grinding for champs is a time sucking chore, there is nothing that can be done to improve it for me without making it even easier for everyone better than me.
My own rule is don't grind for anything that needs your absolute attention for three days. I don't even go after the T4B arena unless it happens over the weekend.
