G3 live is easier than g3 tag for sure. It's just a frequency measure tbh. Obviously easier the stronger your account but the 4000 ratings are filling fast with midgamers.

I've seen you say that in a couple of threads now, but I have found low G3 to be uber-competitve and no one I am fighting is throwing matches at all.  

Since I got Quintus, I went back to only doing live a couple of days per week, so I had not climbed very far yet, and then went 8 losses in a row (last 3 last night and all 5 today), which was just enough to kick me to 3999 again.

G3 Tag is way easier than my first foray into G3 Live.  It is all the luck of the draw, but that is my experience so far.  

Followed up my 8 losses in a row by winning 8 of 10 yesterday, so right back to 4031, which is where I was before losing the 8 in a row.  😁

If you never throw, Live is a much different animal. Much more difficult. Matchups can be very tough.

@ShortOnSkillz has been testing this for a couple weeks and found the optimal numbers to get much easier matchups all the time. 

Trips might be finding it easier than you since he's matching his other account and getting a decent number of throws in regularly. 😆 😆

Unfortunately the increased play in live means I rarely get to throw against myself... but tanking does work fabulously.  I do not have skillz top secret algorithm though.

I am putting in work, i did regear and tune my champs and it got me to silver 4, my current teams are not good enough to climb to g1 tho atm, now i know what bs you run and this is exactly the bs you need to get to gold, pythion, warlord, siphi, yumeko.....talk about "effort" lol.

i

 You know what you should do, you should drop down to silver 1, then pull out 12 warboys and get to gold 1 with them, surely you can do it if you "just put in enough work" 😁  

Jokes aside next free gear removal i will redo my teams again, probably will post roster here on forum too for help, maybe i can get to gold

Gosh what a sad state of affairs that screen is.

Was very nice to pull so much good arena champs lately.

I can't ever seem to hyperlink you in the text of a post.

The majority of that screen are fusions/fres champions

Okay, Enlighten a Live Arena Newbie to this magic formula....

What counts as "throwing a fight"?  

If we define "throwing a fight" as (1) Leaving as soon as the battle loads or (2) Shutting down the phone during team selection, then so far, the only fights I throw are when I get matched against the same OP opponent multiple fights in a row or multiple fights over a few days so that I still remember the toons they are gonna pick to kick my Azz.  

There are other fights that I quit, but not tpyically before there is no coming back even though it might take a while to actually lose.  Earlier tonight, I let an Armanz get control of the battle flow, so even though they had no real damage dealer left, I was not going to get another turn.  I quit fights like that, but I would not think something like that counts as throwing the fight, but who knows what the matchmaking AI counts as throwing?  

My overall winrate in Live is 56.3%, and so far, my winrate in G3 is consistent with that.

Throwing is just when you purposely lose one (or ten in a row++) so the game stops dunking you into the center of the earth with matchmaking. 

I'm not throwing at all, have a very solid WR in Gold 1 & 2  (about 85%) and every fight but one tonight I had to choose to ban Galathir or Krixia, all those people had both of them, and there was always a Narses, Seigfrund and/or Lazarius for damage. Yesterday I fought three opponents from MAD (I would say the top PVP clan in the game) ofc with solid empowered champs and mythicals.

Meanwhile Skillz is higher than me in rank but is purposely quitting out of 5 or so fights a day and he says it's easier than G5 Classic, his opponents are a cakewalk.

Basically the game seems to really really really value recent WR as a major factor in the sheer krakenness of your opponents.
