If you win an Arenas match and then move to a BR match, there's a strong chance you will be named as the champion pre-match, no matter your previous BR performance.Has happened to me several times. Last time this happened I checked and in my last BR I had finished 5th.

Speaking of bugs, yesterday I had an Arenas game where we had no opponents. When the 'Enemy Squad' screen came up, it was empty, then there were no enemies on the buy screen.The game started as normal and we ran straight across to the enemy's area, which was empty. After about another five seconds we were declared Champions.Ash said she was amazed at how good we were.

@EdwardDLuffy Confirming this, happened to me a couple of times when switching from Arenas to BR. Not only this, but it seems that the BR matchmaking is also taking into account the performance in the Arenas. I have some horrible BR stats this season, yet the sky is full of diamonds, preds and masters at least a few matches after switching to BR after a good run in the Arenas.

@EdwardDLuffyDéjà Vu, 🤣 I had this EXACT thing happen… it kinda makes ASH look like a DUMBA**, like, “Impressive, Victory.” “Uhh yeah its a Flawless victory, there were no Opponents…” 🤣

@OldTreeCreeper Yes, The enemies are actually in the game, but with incomplete data (e.g. name or currently selected legend missing) The game waits for the rest of the data until they timeout. Some do make it in the match eventually, some during the buying phase, some even during the 1st round, just like in my experience below.I had an Arena match where both us and the enemy team were missing a squad member. It felt fair, until their third came out of nowhere just as we were about to win the first 2v2 round and shot us in the back with fresh weapons from the care package that dropped away from the battle area.Also, had a very defective reconnect, after my connection threw me out of an Arena match I got put in the middle of a BR, somewhere at the end of round 1, with 10 teams left, one squadmate dead and about to expire and the other one downed at hundreds of meters away.

@EdwardDLuffy Yes been happening since S9 to me. A new bug that I’ve experienced yesterday was when you won in BR, “You are the Champion” won’t appear at the end of the match.

@DoYaSeeMe Yeah I've noticed this too. I won six Arena matches in a row (ranked) and switched to BR when the map changed to Oasis (boring map - every game is the same). I was in a squad with two Preds.

My BR stats have taken a downturn this season too, mainly (I think) down to Respawn putting my favourite early game gun, mid-to-end game gun and secondary (and downgrading it to a marksman) in the care packages.

@EdwardDLuffy you mean the Triple Take? Ya, I used to love that one.
I won't touch the care package one. The scope they have on it is total trash. No idea what they were thinking with that.

@RockDokRock Yep. I was awesome with the TT with a sniper scope.

I'm not too bad with a Longbow and a 3x (hate the 2x-4x) but not as good.

@RockDokRock Agreed, since TT is in the care package I also don't use it anymore even tho I loved it before it was a CP .-. Until now I only use Alternator because this gun is my got to go weapon at the start (before season 10) and spitfire bc it's still OP lol

@EdwardDLuffy I think someone mentioned before that in that sinario for some reason the game has to run for 20 seconds before calling the champions. Can't remember why, but it may have been @DoYaSeeMe explaining.
And yes had thd champions thing going from arenas to br a number of times, for quite a while.
