Rework Arena (Fix Arena 8 Months Ago)
arena has not changed since this game was released. arena was made for that game, but the game is different from how it was when it was first launched.
back then you could get to gold 4 with starter champions and 5*s. these days you can't get to gold 4 with the best champions in the game. you can't even get to gold 1. heck, you can't even get to silver 3.
gold medals are REQUIRED to progress in this game. it is severely retarded to expect players to get great hall bonuses to level 10 from silver or bronze medals.
this was reasonable when the game first launched because everyone was on the same field. news flash, it's a different game now.
a while back (1-3 months ago?) plarium announced that inactive teams have been removed from the arena and will be removed from now on.
even if they're telling the truth, arena is still broken. i already have a great hall bonus at lvl 10 from 7+ months ago when i was still in gold (i was lucky enough to get it right before arena turned into a swirling shitstorm), but i can't get to silver 3 now, let alone gold 4 to finish that wretched fucking mission.
arena should have been fixed over 8 months ago. we are way past arena needing to be fixed.

Rework Arena
keep your precious little tiers. your fancy platiunum whatever. remove the bronze, silver, and gold medal system and replace it with "Arena Medals".
all medals will be the same, but different tiers will reward greater medals per victory (1 medal at bronze 1 and 13 medals at platinum). on top of that, arena battles will award additional arena medals based on the team power of the opponent they beat.
Team Power:
50k-99k awards an additional 3 medals. 100k-149k awards an additional 6 medals. 150k+ awards an additional 8 medals.
this way players can still play arena as it was intended even if they can't reach gold 4. we can still work on our great hall. by the way, all of the great hall medal costs will remain the same.
so at silver 2 it will take 84 battles at the very minimum (if i only beat players with 100k-149k power level) to get a great hall bonus from lvl 9 to lvl 10. that should be sadistic and torturous enough to satisfy plarium's lust for submission, while enabling players to play the game again.
get rid of all of the missions requiring to reach specific arena tiers. those missions are extremely toxic and sadistic at this stage of the game. even for plarium.

plarium has everything they need to implement this system immediately. in tag team arena they already have a system that rewards points based on team power. they can apply that same system to award additional medals based on team power.
the medal system is already in place. all they need to do is replace the medal art and adjust the variables that determine tier rewards per victory.
that's all. it's that simple. i could probably do it myself while half asleep within an hour. there is no reason for why this system should not be implemented by tomorrow morning.
it is superior, it is more logical, and it is a simple adjustment.
