So I've been playing the game for a few months. I'm trying to complete the missions and just make it to silver 1 but ive been running into teams like this one that is 30k team power higher than me. As you can see im barely through bronze 2. I've spent a bit to get to where I'm at but how can i be expected to make it to silver with a team like this in bronze 2???? Thr mission makes no sense because the next mission is clear stage 7 on a "hard" campaign mission. Are there any plans to rework the arena system to place me with opponents closer to my team power? I don't see the point in continuing to spend with the current format.
That power disparity is not really an issue. You've got a sort of speed nuke team which will have a lower power value vs what I assume is a more tanky team (hard to say what their stats are) that will likely have a higher power. Don't let that scare you, look at the team composition instead and look for counters to what you're trying to do. I would take that fight if I were you, you've got everything you need to do a speed nuke; attack increase, defense decrease and an AoE nuke, and even a defense buff in case they survive the first turn to get their own nuke in. If it makes you feel any better, I regularly run into teams that are twice my size. In my current list, there's one 2.3 times my team power. Most of the teams I fight have 50-75% more power than mine, and I can win most of them.
That isn't to say that the current state of the arena is fine, but I'm tired of talking to a brick wall so I won't go over that again. At the very least, the arena-related missions need to be moved much further down the line, because they clearly don't belong at their current place in the mission progression if we are to assume that the arena is supposed to work the way it is. I'm not holding my breath for that one either though.
The only way is to make your team stronger, finish all masteries to start with, ascend, book, get all accesories, use glyps, max out your champs, no other way. I have Trunda, Apothecary Bad El Khazar and ELhain and I got wiped by a single hit from Kael. check out the stats of my team mates, it is frustrating to say the least.
The only way is to check affinity of each champ in the opposing team, also build up good defence, and speed and atk and other stats too.
Basically what @EGDNIT said. Power almost doesn't mean anything, synergy and gear does.
To help you better understand I'll use your screenshot and tell you what I'd do if I were the one playing your champs in arena:
To start, you already have the right lead in the scenario. Gorgorab is very valuable in arena especially while you're still on your way up the ladder. However, you're using Kael and Tyrant which are weak affinities to 1/2 of his team. You can use your Jizoh to provoke opponent's Shaman to avoid revive attempts after you pick off the Kael or Bystophus. You can also use Robar as your nuke in this situation too because like I said, he has the better affinity matchup for this.
I understand how frustrating arena is in early game and it's easy to get carried away with posts about arena being broken, but once you're able to look past legendaries and randomly assembled level 60s, you start to analyze synergies, and anticipate match outcomes. Good luck.
PS: Here's a tip, and I did this a lot when I was starting out: If you're unfamiliar with a champ you're about to face, click on it and check its skills so you can anticipate what it can do and how it may affect the match. Analyze and counter accordingly.
You play since a couple of months and 50% of your arena team is not lvl 60. Your champ that can revive, Gorgorab, is only lvl 50 and therefore dies first.
A lot of people complain for better reasons about arena than you. A lot of players, including your enemy on your screenshot, who uses the low ranked, bad champion Shaman instead of high-end Gorgorab, would be happy if they would have your champs. Going into arena with lvl 50 champs is just and only your own fault.
I appreciate the feedback everyone. I just got Gorgorab a last week and still working on his masteries and leveling him up. I think @egdnit understood more what I was saying in the sense that where I'm at in the game the area position doesn't match up. The difficulty scales poorly with the other missions.

Everybody understood that just fine, but it's been that way forever and it's not going to change, so veteran players have little interest in discussing it for the thousandth time. The arena missions are the bottlenecks in the progress missions, yes, which is why you get advice on how to improve your team so you can get medals faster.
The arena mission is indeed much to early and the following missions will be done before it's completed.
On the other hand: you allready have the champions to be and to win in silver arena. Level them up and gear them in the right way, and you will have no problems to beat the teams you meet in bronze. Maybe once in a while there will be a team with Hegemon and Mountain King that is in bronze for unknown reason, but you don't have to take such a fight.

Hegemon and Mountain King are definitely not uncommon, at least not for me. There's a Hegemon in my current roster for example. A week or so ago, I had one with 3 mountain kings (not the same team, thankfully). I even remember seeing a team with 2 hegemons at some point. There are a bunch of others I've learned to avoid as well, like Brakus and Ma'Shalled. Also a Candraphon that has given me a bad time more than once, but I've also faced some pretty badly geared ones too. Sir Nicholas is another fun one, but I've got Serris so I can quite often work my way through that one, but I'm sure there are others who can't (also had a Roshcard last refresh, who is sort of the same deal).
That's just picking some of the ones from my current list of opponents. I could give you some truly horrendous examples if I looked through a few more refreshes. Point is, bronze has plenty of very nasty teams in it, and it's not just "once in a while" that they pop up. In my experience, it's once in a while that they don't.
1. Yes, the arena missions are the most difficult.
2. It has always been that way, not gonna change
3. The problem isn't lack of champions on your roster....
Problems:
1. Bad gear
2. Bad comps
90% of bad gear issues are due to:
1. Focus on sets instead of stats
2. Just too slow
3. Gear spread too thin ( If you have more 50s than 60s... you likely have this problem)
4. Low quality gear, becuase same as #3 you are not making 6stars and your dungeon progression is lacking -- the 2star glyphs dont help that much... forget fw progress lol
I must admit I kept on using gear as and when I got it. now I need silver to redo the whole thing. I will ofcourse do that. another thing was I was trying to build my BEK for solo dragon, I guess I got carried away and ruined it. anyway will redo the thing.
Classic Arena Gold 4 is where I am with a team of 209,000 power and 4 legends
I still get beat from time to time by teams of just 1 legend and 3 epics or 1 legend 2 epics and a rare whom are 80,000 power less than me
It happens because those teams are likely speed tuned with gear that works best for their team. Also their team composition is likely better built to work together than mine
This game has some very deep strategy and even though I have a ton of power, I will face opponents whom understand the game alot more than I do and they can kick my butt
Thats why I say owning legends is not a sure win......but understanding the game and its mechanics is far more valuable
Player J, your Apothecary is even 9 points faster than mine. :)
While comparing their speed I just recognized something, maybe a little bit off topic, but I just wonder how it comes that our Apothecarys have a base speed of 106 at lvl 60 and Shambavi's Apothecary only has a base speed of 101 at lvl 60. Does anybody know?
