The only thing that bothers me (though it is nothing exactly new) is the point that a lot of matches could be done on autoplay. Arena should be a mode where fights need effort and concentration, no matter what combination we fight, mirror matches or not. At least JKR mirror matches take some time and you can make mistakes that would lead to a time out. While with DR mirror matches (so far) , it's only about who goes first/is the fastest.
While I would agree with this in theory, the problem is that any team you build that can’t be played on auto will be abysmal on defense (since that’s essentially what happens on defense). If every team is so complicated that only a human can play it, it will actually make the matches too easy since you’re not playing against another human. I guess a more ideal solution is to have a team that does real well on offense and another team that does well on defense, but again you run into the JKR problem that if they do too well on defense then they can win easily on offense as well. The only way I could see around that would be to make a team that does very poorly against itself on offense, i.e. one that times out before you can win (which is what everyone was also complaining about with JKR).
