Meehhhh... live arena matching stinks and they know it. Worst yet is when they gaslight you and they said they "improved" it several months ago. Look at the other posts here complaining about it. There's some prime examples of people posting about it. My record is 7 losses in a row. Somehow, when you get paired down, somehow the game matches you to a level 100 or a kraken and then you get put up again in the same bracket where the whales are.
I'm honestly surprised more people don't rage quit about it. I think Plarium's idea is that by doing this, it'll make you want to spend money to get better but instead it drives more people away.
I think i might have to just walk away. My anger and disappointment levels are reaching ridiculously dangerous and disgustingly damaging levels. I think I used to have fun when I played, and looked forward to playing while I wasn't. Now however, I experience anxiety, stress and blatant anger at the absolute absurdity of the the quality and satisfaction I experience during current generation game play. Who is in charge of setting up the LIVE matches? Who's in charge of setting the number of failed equipment upgrades? Sure, thanks for the 'FREE' gear removal...please, you think we haven't noticed the increase in failed upgrade attempts?? You are ruining a really good game that used to be fun, and maybe could be again. Stop stuffing your already full pockets and make the gameplay more affordable and fix the match ups to be more even. Maybe think about two versions, one for the whales which are unbeatable because their daddies paid for everything as they have more dollars than sense, and a version for normal poor regular people that must choose to eat or buy 9 million fake silver coins that you instantly take right back after 1 successful, and 19 failed artifact upgrade attempts... nailed it!
I dont know who designed live arena bots but they are supposed to be a "free win" after a serie of losses... but they are like 99% guaranted defeat... what is wrong with this devs... i swear its like they are trolling us on purpose... soo many complaints about live arena and solution is (drumroll) a new fusion hero... for real???

Comments like this only get deleted when theyre laced with profanity or breach forum rules in other ways. Nothing in that comment is a breach IMO.
As for the content I believe it would probably be best for OP to walk away if they are getting that enraged at a game. Games are supposed to be fun after all. If youre not having fun anymore move on.
I played on mobile for a month and it's brutal.
The daily Five chest should be changed from Wins to "Complete Battles".
It's insane the number of 20 level higher players I lose to daily; add in the fact they manipulate the algorithm to force players into a 50% win rate and don't acknowledge that's it not a Live Arena against other players because they feed bots into on the sly and it's surprising no one has sued for misrepresentation.
The worst ever though is the "I'll make you quit teams" that can neither kill nor be killed. That's the antithesis of an Arena which should always be Kill the other side or Die.
No Classic Arena should go more than 5 mins.
No Tag Arena should go longer than 3x 5 mins.
No Live Arena should go longer than 5 mins (even after the endless time that is wasted by people who think Max Timing the setup is a legit strategy)
appreciate all the comments for and against.
Went 4/11 right now. 4 of those were against players 10+ levels higher than me, with stats I cannot access yet.
My last 4 losses, who was the bot? Did I lose to a bot?
I am laughing out loud. I posted a suggestion to discord
Lower level players should always pick first or have the option to pass and there should be a website leaderboard showing a players opponents so everyone can see it's level 100s dunking on players 20 levels lower than them..
and it got downvoted hard...
went 5/10 today.
yesterday I ended with 2 loss streak.
lose my first match today.
lose the 2nd match. if it's 3 losses and a bot, I lost to the bot. great programming.
2/5 on my first bag.
Arena update messed up showing the aura banners for opponents and their side now just mirrors whatever you pick.
ended up 5/10.
There's a simple solution to time wasters, even though people on discord are diehard in their 'lagger defense'
Every once in a while the game should record your inputs and then compare it to when the server received it and if you're in Doom Tower A1 blasting and 13 ms later the server is responding, you should get a penatly when all of a sudden you start 'lagging' in Live Arena.

What is the diehard laggard defense you speak of?
I had other questions but your post is difficult to comprehend.
There are a handful of very prolific Discord Posters that hang in the Suggestions Discusssion Page and Suggestion Log and vehemently defend people who max the LA Timers, continuosly repeating the mantra that it could just be a laggy internet connection, and there is no way for Plarium to distinguish legitimate lagging from Intentional/Strategic LA Timeouts. They downvote every Suggestion in the Log about LA Timeouts and comment on the Discussion Page.
It really is only a handful of peeps, but when even the most popular Suggestions with univeral appeal only get 12-15 upvotes, a handful of downvotes on a more middle of the road Suggestion looks pretty significant.
Their ranks inlcude the most prolific commenter on the page and the Mod who hangs out there too.

They clearly are full of shit, I am still confused... is it because they use some bot program that is too simplistic to pick faster?

The premise is you run down the clock to the last second every time and a significant number of opponents will quit out of frustration instead of fighting. That's why they're adamantly opposed to anything that would reduce the "tactic"
Sadly it must work often enough that they keep doing it.

It's so ridiculously toxic. LA is already an awful time suck and these people just make it so much worse. Also really annoys me when the game takes an extra 15 seconds to process their last second picks.

That just happened to me with a Loki team. Went 2/5 then ended 5/10. Loki team is maxing setup. Kill everyone but Loki who is almost 100%. Sit and wait thru 15 secs+ for each while he mist steps every attack. hilariously maddening.
This is my 3rd season. It's disappointing the rules are still Unique Only. There's a million champs in this game. Where is the variety?
season examples:
Rares get 300% stat buff.
Only Rares.
Epics get 150% stat buff.
Only Epics.
No Speed Banners.
No Revives.
Whoever chooses first Chooses an Alliance, and can only pick from that Alliance. Opponent then chooses a different Alliance.
Let's get something other than the thing we do every day....

Interesting idea, and one I've never seen before. I like it.
I think they're really missing out on an opportunity to do tournaments/short term events with different requirements/restrictions
I'd like to try one where a secret room/sin city type restriction gets randomly chosen between matching up and champ selection
