Arena Defenders overly difficult
So I've been playing since beta first launched, and up until the global launch was loving the game. I understand that getting PvP right is a delicate balance, and I've played enough rpg's and mmorpg's...

I believe this is a situation that will be very common once most people in the arena bracket played for a few months. (the exact situation soft launch arena is in now)
In our arena, everyone has a full pvp team of lvl60, max possible gear, 6/7* if not all 7*. Payer or freemium, the amount of time passed has allowed everyone to build a fully capped team of 5 characters at least. Winning now entirely depends on the % figures, whether that dooku stuns, or Sid landing that healing immunity debuff.
There is basically no power difference between anyone, whether you spent 10 bucks or 5000, you are all using 5, capped, characters. What determines your fate is pure RNG, whether your % dependent skills and heroes do their work. And of cos, the offensive player's little tricks with manual control.
The AI however, like OP mentioned, has some special psychic power to always stun 2 units with dooku, while you fail or even miss the skill. Or somehow daka can always double stun, your Sid doesn't land his healing immunity even after 3 hits (some 100% chance, grrr).
When everything lies down on RNG, you really feel the heartburn when it goes against you. Today, some random IG-86 sniped my IG-88 and instant killed it with crit, somehow assist call was on daka who stunned my lumi right before her turn, HK-87 threw a 25% aoe that managed to debuff all (some 25% that is, triggering on all 4 remaining units). The rest of the fight, I cried.
