i been playing for a while and was barely making it to silver .. now i cant even finish bronze 4.. i don't have a weak team .. and if i do we pore people don't have alot of money to buy our way too the top most of my bronze is at lvl 3 and can't go anywhere because i cant make it to silver.. and some of us don't have the team to compete against other teams.. some of us dont have a lot of money or luck.. to get the best champs for the arena.. fix this crap or people going too stop playing.. im already losing interest is this garbage you turn this into.. 

im using athel lvl 60 fully ascended and mastery at max with some lvl 3 bronze

apothecary lvl 60 214 speed and ok def fully amended 

katun lvl 50.. some mastery

Arena is a complete joke. It halts mission progression like a deadstop - from 500KM/h to 0 on mission progression in an instant (Reach Silver 1).

How am I supposed to reach silver 1 when I face team power 167K in Bronze II?

So I'm a month in and was really frustrated with the Arena matchmaking - I haven't seen a player below my level and usually see players 20+ levels (forget power level for a hot minute, I'm not super interested in photo'ing a bunch of other player cards, but they're also typically 10K above my team's levels) above me no matter where I am in Bronze. Came here to see what the deal is. Read (most of it... y'all are... exhausting) this thread and have come away with one question:

So you're telling me that the ENTIRE player base is in the same arena? It's not segmented at all? By regions? by relative sign up time? by timezones (frankly, I was happy I didn't need to rush "arena" at a specific time to hit my payout, but this isn't better)? by literally any means?

Well, there's your problem. I've never played another game like this where the entire player base operated out of the same "arena." 

I dipped my toe into Bronze 3 one time and now I feel like a god that I did that in my first 2-3 weeks of playing. But, based on everyone in here, I don't think I'll sniff silver before I move on from the game. Upfront dolladollabills, not long term dolladollabills seems to be the goal then eh? 

My first post about arena is exactly the same, I was at bronze 3 as well at the time, that was 2,5 months ago.

The problem with the arena is that the difficulty increases at the average level of the players. there's no point in leveling up my team to get to silver if everyone in bronze does the same thing. The only result is to increase the difficulty of the arena.

To set the difficulty of the arena objectives to those of the same level as the other objective challenges, it is necessary to make this difficulty independent of the growth of the players.

Solution:

fixed-score defensive teams managed by the IA who will come out more or less frequently as opponents in the various refreshes.

This is the case for some players, and we are working on flattening the difficulty curve of the Classic Arena. The solution to this problem should also improve the situation with the Arena Missions.

Eagerly looking forward to seeing how this solution pans out. Most of us aren't looking for easy wins. We just want fair fights at the appropriate level for our progress in the game. Bronze through Silver should "feel" like a steady progression so that when you start approaching Gold you have had time to acquire both a decent roster of champs and the experience/gear to tune them up for the end-game competitive environment.

And while the mission rewards aren't make or break by any means, every little bit helps along the way.

As an aside, it would make better gameplay if speed wasn't the end-all stat for Arena. The options for strategy are pretty limited when most battles are determined primarily by who gets to go first, and whether RNG has granted them one or more of the handful of champs that dominate in PvP. I don't expect to see that change though. Certain mechanics would need a massive overhaul and would have side effects on other aspects of the game.

Haven't you all figured it out by now? The real problem?

The real problem starts with Plarium - They run under a short sighted plan.

They spend all of there efforts getting new players hooked on the game.

They try to get those new players to spend on the game.

Than when the players end up becoming Veteran players.

Plarium often doesn't give them any reason to continue playing the game.

Raid Shadow Legends has the worst player retention I have ever seen in any game.

They want new players to join - old players who stop spending to quit.

This is how they run there business.

The problem is when you do this sort of business practice.

You offend a lot of the older Veteran players who originally loved your game.

And the result is those players become spiteful.

They come up with ways to make the game go down with them!

Thus, what we reach the subject at hand "Arena".

Those high level players have decided to de-level themselves to Bronze 1 to frustrate new players into quitting the game.

It's a sinister plan, but that is what happens when people get upset.

Most of the new players which don't quit the game.

They often begin complaining - blowing up the support/help chats with complaints.

This is more or less what you see is happening.

So there you have it!

Those players are not inactive - They are taking a stand!
