Literally 100% percent of my Arenas teammates are under level 5

Ran a fun test over the last week.

Queued with my friend (we are both Masters players).

The test involved exactly 100 matches. EVERY single one of those 100 games gave us a teammate under level 5. Brand new players. Our opponents were ALWAYS Diamond or above. I think that “hard patterns” like this are hard to come by. I’ve never actually seen a 100% stat on any of the various tests I have run.

-Our average waiting time for a match was 6:34 minutes

-Of the 100 games, we won 4

Thoughts?

I wish the skill based matchmaking in arenas was a little better too. I just picked up this game last week, And instead of spend 10-15 minutes looting to just get instantly taken out, I'm enjoying arenas, and it's really helping me with my firefights.
But i feel terrible ever few matches when i see a high level player because I'm probably letting them down, and I'm just tryna learn and there is no single player to play on the hardest difficulty before jumping in online to learn
As one of these low level players i apologize and agree with you on the other side. When i get a match of all new players it's great, but when I'm letting someone down it's discouraging but if i give up i won't get better.

@AbC7751a9182933 It sucks, but it's not your fault. If the level disparity is too high, New players won't be able to do much and high level player has to do everything.

As a single game it's not that big of a deal, but when you start seeing the same pattern over 100s of games the experience of a high level player is the same as a new player. Discouraging as a whole.
