There are a few hundred thousand accounts that rise and fall through arena. I'm sure the number of end game accounts is more than enough to keep a steady flow down the ranks, since you can only see 10 teams per page I'm sure there will be a lot of these accounts to wade through.
That's true - but because they don't just pick ten opponents at random from the tier and persist in their 'matchmaking algorithm' it makes arena artificially unfair
Fighting yourself.
Arena frustrating and all those that "happily" play the game knowing how screwed up it is - an amazing thing to watch.
Keep throwing money to P and they may one day fix the mess.
in the meantime why bitch?
Nothing will change - and everyone quite happy to keep the lopsided mess whilst new players leave after the experience and frustration in classical arena - i am one of those and told to suck it in and just spend more money to get ahead .. spent enuff.
This isn't a skill based game, when the company stacks arena bot teams against players...the system is rigged. 500+ accuracy Mashalled teams in Gold I are on every sheet. I have acuracy down, and high resistance, so know their specs.
A 500 ACC Mashalled you say?
Well my 650 RESIST Wurlim is unphased!
show your team so we can see how bad you are
Ok. I struggle hard like many in arena but also try. I want to be good. This is my team.
And these are some teams I'm picking on for free win after reset today. Always easy team fight Monday morning. Very fun. I want to be good though so I keep try.
That's an impressive resistance stat.
On the other hand, my 0 acc Ghostborn tells me he is not impressed. 😜
Of course, Ghostborn isn't impressed.
Ghostborn is a God Among Legendaries, but you would be surprised at how sneaky my Wurlim is.
My Wurlim has caught other Leggo teams off guard. 😎

What you need is a hero who gives your team "Increase Attack 50% Buff."
Warmaiden & Kael damage scales from ATK.
Increase ATK 50% Buff would allow them to nuke harder.
What other heroes do you own?
I have sincere doubts you're running into 500 accuracy champions of any kind with any regularity in Gold 1.
With regards to getting challenged by teams, I bounce around between 3,000 to 3,200 most of the week in Gold IV and this is what my daily defense looks like every day, extrapolated over 24 hours, and get challenged with a higher frequency as I climb higher.
I have a bad/generic 305 Arbiter defensive lineup, thus I get challenged by better teams. This is a light day as I slipped back down to the low 3ks due to lack of time.
Arena isn't rigged, it's just gotten more diffcult over time, which was communicated months and months ago, giving players fair warning. The answer as always is grind out better gear, put in the time to creating better offensive and defensive teams and better results will follow.
I understand the frustration of arena, we've all been there before, banging our heads against the wall. It will do you more good in the long term to try to be constructive in your approach to the game rather than come up with conspiracy theories.
I got a time out for a few days on these forums. I did 3 matches, and it was always landing. I procced the three turn debuff for proof. I forgot Mashalled got an extra turn after he went, and wouldn't have the debuff after his turn. The third time he did. I was using + 50 RES aura from Teela gormane just to see how high, a few folks had Salad. She took my dec def champs, have one for each color. The first Salad I found was able to land on a 315 Res Ursala, while the Salad had -50% ACC debuff. So I would guess over 600 ACC on that Gold 1 Salad. My Drakes is high Res too, but not as high as Ursula. I understand that there is always a 5% chance to land, but the first guy I found was always landing.
Sorry for the interruption but I have to state that just in case - there are no bot teams in the game at all. All the teams you can find on the Arena are real players who happen to get in whatever Tier you find them through some natural matchmaking and progression processes. There are no teams (bots or not) artificially placed into a particular tear to increase or decrease the level of challenge there.

I refer you to this very informative thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/RaidShadowLegends/comments/evijl0/accuracy_vs_resistance_graph/
tl;dr - your 265 RES is far, far too low if you want to consistently be resisting. You need to be closer to 350, PLUS a resist aura, if you want to consistently resist:

Thank you for the advice player J, I usually agree and respect your posts pertaining to arena as you are usually very helpful.
In this case I'm just trolling the poster tofu as he does not share the same posting quality as yourself.

Thanks for the link, but I had Teela as aura for + 50 RES so by your math of a 400 ACC Salad, I was + 105 RES to that ACC level. So Salad would have a 5% chance according to the graph, which I said in my OP. I didn't shop for crazy teems, I just picked the first Salad that came up, and that Salad was landing his stuff on my people. Statistically, maybe he kept getting 5% luck lands.
My biggest point was defense isn't getting hit as often as would be expected. With all the stacked teams in Gold I, my team only got hit 3 times in the last 24 hours. The teams won, and looked normal compared to the ones on my sheets. Since it requires 1000s of gold medals to do anything in the great hall...wouldn't there be much more defense activity?
We need low level bots in Gold tier. Im Gold 1 right now and i lose at least 300 points everyday because every other team has Arbiter and people see me without arbiter and attack with speed teams. I have to rank up till Gold 4 for Arbiter but even in silver 4 everyone has Arbiter. And sometimes even Lydia. Im seeing content creator's videos and they even have 1 man defence teams and lower team power teams in gold 4 or plat. With worse teams than mine people are in higher ranks because they started 1 months ago than me and they are still facing with weaker teams because they managed to pass this teams with while there is still bots in game. Im facing people with Arbiter, Trunda, Tormin , Lilitu , Krisk,Kymar.
Even if i manage to rank up people literally farming my defence team so easily not because my team is bad, enemies are like huge. 2 Lydia teams beat my defence and i lost 28 points in just 1.5 mins. How can we get Arbiter like this when we are already facing with Arbiter teams? What are this 100 Lv guys doing here ?

You can do this! We just got two people in my clan done with this Gold 4 mission after they were stuck in Gold 1 for a long time! We just went through their builds and made some tweaks, rebuilt a champ or two, and they were able to get into Gold 4 just this week!
Why don't you post your team and their builds in a new thread and we'll try and help with some recommendations?
