First Arena Match --Disappointed

Nice Job Respawn... Congratulations on a very well made matchmaking mode for Arena. Fantastic being solo against a team of 3. Again, Good job. I could not hope for anything better. By the way, no...

Yeah. This Arena stuff is driving me up the wall. It is literally the worst Apex mode I have played.

I know they put a lot of work into this, but it just feels bad to me, man. The matchmaking, the Leavers, the AFK teammates, the fact that I feel rushed every bloody buy phase.

I'm just... I can't handle it. I want to like it, I want to enjoy it, but I can't. I'm frustrated beyond all Hell with it, man. Only reason I'm still Q-ing for it is I have Arena only challenges.

@JonStriker126You may reroll and choose which challenges you would like to do. So if it shows arena mode you may reroll that to trio challenges in reg lobbies.

The game mode is amazing in my opinion. The buy time is quite fair and easy to understand. Find the gun you want click it. Click it again for attachments. Buy ults if you need them or what not. Its quite enough time for 2 simple clicks to upgrade to blue on a weapon.

If you want to win arena mode then you just need to buy every single round a 301 and upgrade it to blue and boom easy games. Other then round 1 where i normally pick volt then follow that up with 301 upgrades.

  I was referring to weekly challenges. Unless you can reroll those, I've never looked. Even still though, that gets expensive I have to do it the entire season. I would rather spend tokens on things like cool skins, not rerolling crappy challenges.
  
  As for the buy thing, I guess my main issue is just trying to figure out what to do and trying to coordinate that with two other people I just met 20 seconds ago. I've gotten in matches where they wanted to take a completely different approach than I did, and then either I felt useless because of it (Say they have snipers, but I have shotgun). Or the reverse becomes true, and they feel like they kind of have to push in because I have stuff that only works at close range.
  
  This isn't a all-encompassing example, just one of many. I Think it's enough to understand my point though.
  
  Yeah. I could just click on whatever. But, I don't want to be the guy sitting there with his thumbs up his butt, because I'm playing with two long range campers, and I have no long range gun. Nor, do I want to be the "YOLO" guys, and rush in by myself. Or, be the guy sniping while they try to rush in and get 3v2'd.
  
  All of that is just a lot to try and figure out in my head in 30 freaking seconds. I get that it's a "me" issue. But it's a big issue And I don't know how to deal with it. It's part of the reason why I'm being so frustrated with this mode.

    @JonStriker126 Ahh I was not aware they had arena mode weekly. Did not dive that deep into challenges as i hardly ever do they just come throughout the season without me trying or knowing what i need.
    
    As for legendary tokens there is not enough skins in the game to ever run someone out. Im currently sitting on 280k legendary tokens i have no use for. A skin here and there every now and then is all i got to use them on. So after awhile they just add up quickly with plenty of room of spending them.

I definitely understand you. I keep telling myself that it is because of Matchmaking, in both BR and Arena mode.
I came to believe that it is all my fault when I cannot win (and kudos to my opponents for being better) because I have to improve to the point of being able to carry the team no matter what. It is taking a toll on me.

  I'm not a fan of the arena mode myself. Half of my games were with one or more people missing on either side. And people tend to get the Spitfire so all I was seeing was bullet hell. Battle Royale mode doesn't seem it's greatest either, I'm having some unusually long queue times.
