Should SP3's be banned from Arena?

There are very frequent complaints every month about AI not throwing specials in Arena and baiting has become a real pain.

If SP3's are banned from Arena, it'll save a ton of time, grinding will become way easier and it'll be a great overall improvement to the Arena system.

If not for everyone, it should at least be done for the players in the Begginer and Intermediate brackets since their baiting skills are relatively worse. Do you think SP3's should be banned from Arena?

    No please... not ever. Play better. They’re arena fights... they’re insanely easy. You can eat an sp3 and survive and still win the arena fight even if baiting or power control didn’t pan out. This makes no sense.

    And while I agree it's annoying when the AI is being finicky, it doesn't happen all that often and it's only really annoying if you let it be... And there's no timer so you can wait it out if it's That serious that you can't lose a fight.

    Either preclude sp3 or just get rid of the ridiculously passive AI that we face up till match 20.

    In fact more fundamentally, I do not see the least point in the so called Arena Gauntlet before you get to the infinite streak past match 21.

    only for people in the intermediate and beginner brackets, in the veteran brackets we are fine and most of us have champs that can take a hit from most champs.

    Not really.

    Not when doing 5* Feature where you are on last matches before Streak 15, and Thanos/Kang teams are potentially 3-4 Ranks higher than you (albeit base stats without mastery increases). An SP3 from them can still do Major Damage, and if it's coupled with a Stun from the SP3 it could wipe out a fully healthy hero of yours all at once.

    A.I. needs to be changed to “Streak Level aggressiveness” much earlier, like either at Streak=10, or at least whenever matched with a Thanos/Kang team, so that triggering Specials is not so stingy then.

    No, maybe if they have a larger chance to use sp 1 and 2 that could be a good compromise.
