ARENA: the most unfair mode

I've been waiting for a year, Arenas still have the worst matchmaking possible.

Ranked arena are the most frustrating game mode ever made. You play with bronzes and with people who doesnt even know the name of the weapons when you are Gold-Platinum-Diamond.

There is no excuses, no ELO system, no fair game. This is just randomness and it is completely UNFAIR for those who try to rank in Arena. At this point the best thing you can do is remove completely the Ranked Arena or you rework the matchmaking system. On average I have 1500 dmg per game and I'm still struggling ranking up. I understand that is not simple making a fair matchmaking but pretty much everything else is better than the current one. 

The most frustrating thing is hitting the point where you win 16 and lose 16, thats the point where there is no reason to keep playing, for real. In BR Ranked every game is a new game, in Arena thats not true because you can be really good but you cannon rank up if you hit the 16-16 point, thats only frustration.

I have no more hope left for this game mode, but i wanna give it one last chanche writing this post.

Cheers

PS: pls spare me "Play with premade, Apex is a team game", I know how Apex works, I've been playing since Day 1, and this is bs because you can still have fun when you have a fair matchmaking, everyone should be able to hit Master even without friends, im not talking about hit #1 Pred here.

  • @nifla9397This mode has been dead since season 11.

    Remove it as a permanent mode, make it as an LTM, have a rotating Control/Gun Run/Arenas LTM daily rotation.

  • I'd say that TR is the most unfair mode of all by a mile,nothing like landing in a hotspot regardless the map struggling to find a weapon or a shield upgrade & then open a loot chest & 2 P2020's or Mozambiques are staring back at you & with no choice but to pick one (or both up) lo & behold the enemy (or enemies firing at you are equipped with a half decent weapon wearing a blue or purple body shield & that's before MM levels are even considered.Many players hate Arenas mode for one reason or another but I've tried to avoid playing TR this season preferring to play Arenas & have got up to Level 78 on the Battle Pass completing various challenges & have a 52% win rate purely playing solo queues.MM can at times be awful but certainly no worse than in TR but at least you can attempt some sort of fight back with weapons of your choosing & not wasting time looking over half a map for a weapon scope.Phase Runner & Habitat are the 2 best maps on Arenas but the mode does need some fresh new maps though.Playing with a teammate short (match fill problems) & teammates randomly disconnecting ruins the mode though.Personally I wouldn't want to see Arenas mode dropped (other than the ranked option which I would never play) & certainly agree that there should some sort of various LTM game rotation thing just to add other modes to the game.
