Classic arena feels like a Utter slog to progress through expecially when it demands reaching a certain rank thats mid game for the first section of missions seriously arena should not be a part of the base missions to begin with. or atleast needs adjustments. Something like Arbiter missions remain in Bronze, Ramatu is silver, Marius is gold. That would make the missions flow more with the accounts actual progression. In truth It should have its entirely own shop in and of itself the exact same way Tag arena does. The PvP directly impeding people trying to just progress and ENJOY the base game PVE dont wanna deal with the absolute sludge that other players throw together. This is escalated with the fact only certain characters that are required for higher level PvP leaves some players completely out of luck. Then we get into the significant number of issues involving the arena and its evident that its entirely outdated. Newer and newer champions come out with a powercreep so F2P players are scraping at the bottom of the barrel and somehow have to keep digging. Be it stall comps that will leave you stuck until you take the loss which feels terrible and can be fixed with a VERY simple implementation of something like 200-300 turns and it ends in a draw automatically No points lost or gained either side SINCE NEITHER SIDE IS ACTUALLY LOSING TECHNICALLY so it should be a draw. This just feels offputting like a rancid taste in your motuh and to this day I dont like touching battles with certain characters just because I dont wanna sit until my phone dies watching nothing happen. Then there is the issue with power scaling which for the inexperienced just feels like you got cheated. Sorry but getting nuked from what your told on paper is a weaker teamcomp feels bad to no surprise. Its a design flaw thats been using "Its a strategy" as a scape goat to not fix it. The people that argue for it are the ones using it to bait the inexperienced. From a new players experience its not hard to see the blaring issue in this. Its like throwing a Pro heavy weight boxer against a featherweight amatuer its one sided, not entertaining to watch, and everyone looks like an ass afterwards. The heavyweight beat up the newbie, the newbie is forced to take a loss on his record and the people that organized look incompitant. I wanna progress so damn badly but the requirements for my midgame account are unachievable as it stands the moment im even slightly close im paired with power significantly higher by upwards of 130K or the bait ones which obviously im not touching with a 30 ft pole.
