Ranked Arena AP System NEEDS CHANGE ASAP OR THE GAME WILL DIE

I am obviousl exaggerating But Arena Ranked has a MAJOR flaw currently where in the upper ranks of diamond 2 and above a player only stands to gain between 12 and 30 points depending on the enemy B...

@hayhor you are very wrong, because I have like 1000 ranked arena matches and a few 100 solos and I know it's just not true. Don't care what anyone confirms. you WILL get paired with people up all the way down to silver and it has absolutely nothing to do with mmr. and it WILL happen with 130 people in queue. and they WILL deal 100 damage in 3 rounds and be completely lost. it has nothing to do with mmr and everything bad matchmaking.

@fartnitepalyer I don't think you're following what I'm saying. Yes you will get people of any rank. It is based on mmr, not current rank. So yes you will get people that are bad. Maybe both of you lost multiple games in a row.

To me this is the real problem. People of the same rank should be together but are not. The claim is because there aren't enough in the queue. 130 isn't that many when you really think about it.

Do you ask people what their current mmr is because if not you cannot really know.

    @fartnitepalyer 

    none of us here are saying that the Arena's system is not broken. Yes it needs to be fixed the MM and the AP points for winning and losing needs to be fixed and more transparent. I am pretty sure we all agree about that.  

    As far as the weapon pricing etc goes I think that is balanced pretty good. If you go out and get your mats and the win, I have found that I can easilly get an up graded Flatline, a Battery and two Arc stars or three grenades so no problems there.

    Also to quote you "are you * dense? are you following what I just said"? "It is NOT based on * mmr, shut the hell up if you have no clue".

    There is no reason to be nasty here to other people that is just bad manners. 

    @hayhor we all know that the matchmaking premise of quicker load times for games versus more fair MM is an issue. I would not want to wait 10+ mins for a fair Arena's game however I do not like getting totally unbalanced games do to speeding up the process either. EA really needs to work on that. to counter the effects of this I try to play Arenas during peak times when others are playing so that the MM has a larger pool and the MM is more balanced and the games are more evenly matched and more fun. Either way the BR format is better.

      @Asmodeus566 I agree with you, although I think I should share that ranked ANYTHING should take as long as needed to make a match that is in service to the entire premise of ranked.

      Ranked Arenas and ranked BR should be the absolute hardest version of the the game.

      My issue is when I wait 7-10 minutes ON CONSOLE on EASTERN SERVERS (plenty of people) just to be matched with Preds IN PUBLIC ARENAS. It’s just delusional to think that pubs should be “the absolute most fair experience every time”, when ranked exists for exactly that.

    @hayhor
    No, I dont think YOU are following what I AM saying.
    ITS NOT BASED ON MMR AT ALL.
    it just shuffles the next best available players together. I have played 100s of solo games last season and last split, I know. so be silent about such a riddiculous claim.

      @fartnitepalyer But you keep talking about rank. And rank isn't a factor in arenas matchmaking. That is my point.

        @hayhor Yeah, I said that. And you keep talking about mmr. mmr is literally irrelevant
