Arena matchups very important question
Ok so I know arena is notorious for being very painful for new players right now. I've been playing a bit over 120 days as F2P so far and it certainly is a challenge but I managed to crawl my way to Gold I with a mostly PVE setup because that's all I've got.
I've watched numerous videos about the evolution of the matchup system of the arena and what the problems are but here's the thing. I'm a tad bit under 700k player power right now and from what I've read I should be matched against players close to my power level.
The only problem is, that's not the case. Just for example, my 10 player sample right now ranges from 1,6M power to 4M power with most being in the 2,5M range and all my refreshed samples are along those values.
So I want to know what's going on. Please let me understand. I mean with my limited ressources I cannot build a team for arena and for PVE content... I might eventually but not for now. I've got Wythir, Uugo, Miscreated Monster and Oathbound in relentless and speed gear. I need to pick my battles wisely to win as I cannot go first but why am I fighting people with a 2.5M average player power when I'm not even at 700k.
I really hope someone can shed some light on this, it is quite insane to maintain or progress my great hall having to refresh 10 times to win a fight.
Thank you in advance.
