I read this and had to start flipping a Coin, then I went back and read a ton of mixed up mumbo jumbo in 4 million posts on arena. Then I came back and read this and it really stared to make sense because I am Just starting to top 175 speed on a few heros and am actually starting to go first but seeing as I am just into lvl 11 Dungeons , I guess I still have a long way to go I just started Farming Brutal 12/3 last week and my Arena teams have no Synergy at all 

Hard to Break the habbit of using the same team like I have for every other game for the past 30 years , Guess I just can not wrap my head around m ixing and matching 6 or 8 teams depending on where I am fighting , but I am getting there ,, FW , Dragon, Ice Golem and Spider are just about set , and by what I have read, when i get to 13 , I will have to switch them up again because 13 is different then 11 and 12

But, like I said I am starting to win in Arena, but still can not dig myself out of Bronze I

I really think my biggest problem is focus , I get side tracked and go off sideway , 

Like I just pulled Miscreated monster the other day, and well, He isw going to 60 before I do anything else now , and Reliquery has to go up to 60 too , but so does Tomb lord and  Roxam and well, Bellower needs to go up to Farm brutal 12/3 and then there is the Abyssal I pulled last week that needs to get to 60 too and soulbound boyer  and Spirithost, and banshe and Diabolist and Vergis,, and ,, and   lol

HellHades just put out a video today of an account takeover that he did

He took over a free to play players account who has played 100 days so far. He takes the players RARE champions and re-gears them with gear the player had

He then does arena after a speed tune during gearing

He moves the free to play account from Bronze1 to Silver 1 in a single sitting !

Valuable content there about how to do arena successfully , I encourage all to watch. I am Gold 4 and enjoyed watching the whole video as well picked  up some tips

I bet most of the players will just ignore the video and will just go back and complain that it is impossible to progress in arena for new players. 

There are also other youtubers out there that shows good strategies in arena. Like Iamsteamin (not sure if correct) I found his video on how he is winning in platinum arena with only like around 250+ speed team. And his team does not have high resist or high shield amount at all. There is really more in arena than just speed and nuke. Players just need to be taught and they should be willing to learn. 

Or you could listen to all of what he said including his comments about how the arena IS broken.  He was doing nothing that I haven't done for my 70 day old account.  The speeds he got would have been HARD-STOPPED at low silver 2.  So yes he made some improvements which were rather obvious even to a new player like myself.  These were improvement that I started making in my second week playing the game.  The question I have is why I had to know about speed tuning and why I had to have 2 speed boosters geared solely for speed just to get to a level in the arena which matches progress missions which I finished in my first week in the game.  If the arena wasn't tied to progress missions (and I honestly don't care about getting Arbiter, I worked on the challenges which don't lead to arbiter because they were put there by game designers to mimic the actions THEY believed you should be taking in order... an order which doesn't exist) and if the great hall didn't represent such a power increase, I would have ignored the arena until I understood the game a bit better.  However, I had to learn enough to have been able to do what HH did in that video just to get out of bronze which the game designers obviously believed was supposed to be something really easy to do.
