You fall into a trap of what you thought to be easy win of 3x6 points ....

If win gives low reward ... Loss will hurt badly.

Possible win points + possible loss = 20.

I think KSTHECROW has it right for each battle --> 20 points are up for grabs. What you see before you accept the match is how many points you win if you win the match (so +6 for one particular match, say). That means if you lose, you will lose 20-6=14. 

3v3 arena is leaving a bad taste for new players and most of the complaints are legit IMO. Few winnable matches to begin with (unless you get a lucky draw) and even when you do win 2/3 in a match maybe no points or very few.

Plarium should have staggered the starting levels based on player level or roster power or something. Then everyone would have a better chance at better match-ups to choose from. It's also not fun for many stronger players if you get a draw full of opponents where you auto through 5 or 10 matches like a hot knife through butter. To me that's not fun either.
