Hopefully it'll smooth out a bit when everyone has access.

Live arena is my favorite content in Summoners War, and the Raid version looks very similar. 

Only big difference is that in SW duplicates aren't allowed at any level, and it makes it great for trying to problem solve and strategize different team setups versus different opponent team setups. 

My fear is that in Raid the lower tier players will mindlessly set up their same 5 tankiest monsters they have in a stall team and then go to auto, hoping to bore the other player into submission over the 30 mins limit - and if they lose, they don't care because their low tier anyway. If that approach happens, it's going to suck any fun from live arena pretty fast - stuck between low tier players who make no effort and high tier players who can wipe out your team before you even get a turn. 

Yes, that might be a possible strategy...but actually, I can understand this strategy very much.

If I am forced to do some content, which is not liked at all (*cough*Sanddevil, TagTeam*cough), why should I make this content better? Do I have another option to actually display my frustration with some content. 

Live Arena sounds ...okay...but the time requirements for that makes me wonder what became of the promises of Plarium to actually reduce the time needed to play the game. This is just another time sink...why do we have to play CB each day for more than a hour...I beat every stage of CB with 120+ million damage hundreds of times. Why can't I just autowin the next win?

Why do I have to run boss stages of doom tower every time again? Why can't I just spend all the keys in one run?

That assumes you're forced to play it, and the problem with the 30min time out is that we have 5 tokens to use in under 2 hours, so a 30 min stall effectively kills 2 tokens.

If people don't want to play it, just put a 1* champ in, so it's over quicker. :)

As they will add some advanced quests (that's how I read it) it is kind of forcing people to take part. If the quest is defined as winning 1 match...your tactics will not work.

well... if arena would be active all the time, maybe id play it. but in what world working adult will bend his day around some unnecessary activity in mobile game? i know, that such ppl exists and its easier for some ppl. but its sure will shorten the fanbase of live arena by a lot
