Is Arena Dying?

[Princess Zelda]

Arena is dying because it's buggy, inconsistent, and laggy.

 

The balance for effort vs reward is completely skewed with summoners and destroyers, and easy to play classes doing better in general while harder to play classes just get owned by someone less skilled than them. No one wants to play against that.

 

The massive amount of bots, derankers and what not in 3 v 3 in addition to people who macro and use cooldown hacks on their escape or exploiting bugs are in 1 v 1 made a lot of people leave too.

I feel of importance so I'll wear a fighters outfit and a way will point me towards the arena.  Sign? Ranger? Instructor?

i am just pissed that this game arena pvp is so terrible that having distinctions like outfits, soulstones for higher rank players e.t.c is just unfair imo :p

 

- unexplained and prob buggy elo system

- too many hacks , too many to list

- too many bugs, again, too many to list

- too much lag in their servers

- too much unbalanced classes

 

the only good thing is fluid movement, but thats about it really.

Lately one problem I have noticed on EU is that due to people having to derank the whole ranking system loses sanity. Few months ago you could more or less get good matches and duke out very even fights. Now it's really random and especially bad on tag matches since at low/mid gold you get to face people who have class rating within the top 10 when your party avg rating is something like 150-300.

 

Nothing is more frustrating than playing 10 tag matches of which 6 are killing deranking people, 3 are getting pummeled 100-0 by deranked people who should be in plat and 1 match where you completely destroy the opponent completely because you just got matched against mid/high silvers due to the previous 9 matches...
