The shocker for me is the fact that that many people play Arenas seriously. 👿
Hey all, going to lock this thread as historically they don't end well.
We understand that you want to discuss bans on AHQ but it simply is not the place for such discussions.

@DankToliet I don't know how it works when people are mass banned, but I hope this pushed the remaining serious players who were not cheating into Pred spots.
EDIT: Yes, it does work that way! Congrats to all the new Arenas predators who actually earned their way there.
“Hideouts just banned 1300 arenas cheaters”
Isn’t 1300 players the entire Arenas playerbase? LOL just kidding arenas lovers.
And this finally being fixed. 🎉
Number of preds who got banned.
I had read about this some weeks ago on reddit, but here's an article on one way matchmaking was being exploited.
What I don't see in this article was this: Players were grouping up on distant servers in order to trade losses back and forth. It had something to do with one player leaving the game at some exact point in the match. Loss protection and other exploitable MM mechanics were involved. The batch banned about a half a year ago weren't playing against anyone at all except their other "friends."
I wonder how many of the players just now banned had already been banned once before, just this January?
@Sand_spitterWell they didn't really kill randoms since Arenas is 6 people only and it was 2 teams grouping up trading.
But that is a boatload! So of the few people playing arenas barely any are legit 🤣
