How much have you played arenas?

@hayhorI'll have to check my stats when I get home from work, but it's definitely more than you, Lol! I've gotten to the point where I just don't want to even think about challenges in BR, so with the changes to challenges, I just knock out all my weekly challenges in a day or two in Arenas, and then just play to have fun in BR. I'm guessing at least 100 matches of Arenas each season (NEVER ranked), just for challenges between me and my buddies. We stick to BR or the LTM if our challenges are already done though

Edit: Perfect example as to why I wish there was an official stat tracker for Apex. I'm usually on the forum during the day, but can't see my stats until I get home and get online

I started really getting into Apex in Season 9 (first Legend that tied back to Titanfall 2 for me) as well as the start of Arenas.

Because Arenas had no ranked and no leave penalty then, that is when I played most with my Kid. I could learn the guns in live fire exercises without having to loot while being shot at, and if one of us had to leave (work, dog, wife, etc) no harm no foul.

My play of the mode really dropped when they added the leaving Penalty with Ranked, but ALSO added it to unranked (unlike Unranked in BR).

Sorry, but when your crap matchmaking gives me a clearly unwinnable situation, I'm out. When it's round 3, we don't have a single kill, and the other team is all masters, I am not staying just to feed them kills for their stream.

Remove Ranked Arenas (no one cares), remove the leave penalty, and let it be the "warmup mode" it was meant to be again.

And with Ash in the games now it's not like she has time to manage ranked Arenas anyway.

Logged in enough to just pull numbers.

My Lifetime BR games is about 2,370. My lifetime Arena games is 574, with Season 9 starting with 71, a high of 245 in Season 10, and this season all of 10 games.

if i am not mistaken it could be around 40 matches total from the tiem they were introduced. worst mode ever!

I still think that this mode is a knee-* reaction to the popularity of Valorant. The legends’ abilities are not designed for the mode. We saw this as early as season 11 where Ash was passive-less in the mode. The leaked next set of legends would also not fit very well with arenas. This might have been a big LTM like Control forced to become a permanent mode to get a piece of the pie of that Valorant hype.

If you look at their schedule, it definitely fits into their huge LTM release schedule of a new big LTM every 2-3 seasons.

Season 9 - Arenas

Season 12 - Control

Season 14 - Gun Run

Season 16/17 - The mode I’ve posted about in a separate thread (won’t say it since some don’t want spoilers). 

I have nothing against the people who love playing arenas but Respawn continues to say that we can’t have other modes permanently because it will divide the playerbase with too many modes. Sacrificing Ranked Arenas in exchange for a rotating LTM would be the best route for everyone in my opinion. 

This weekly rotation of LTMs for the month of October will be a litmus test of that rotating LTM possibility. 

@KyldenarI didn’t even ask you to play lol, I just gave some suggestions to make it better while still keeping a good main focus on br.
