On my server I have the most power. Almost 26,000. I am level 65, always a level ahead.I get myself to 1st every day, some days I am busy and can not attack in the last 30 minutes, such is life. Well how in the world do I end up at 21st place like I did today? I best those teams without losing one member of my team...with ease! This is Soooo old...The meta/dynamics of arena need to be fixed asap.....pleeeeease!Anyone else feel the same here?

The problem isn't so much that someone's taking his #1 spot from that far back. It's that if three people beat him (let's say #4, then #11, then #20) why is he suddenly 20 instead of 4?The whole "switching ranks" thing rather than just bumping the loser down one spot has never made any sense.

Certainly it's not worse than dropping ten or more ranks because someone happened to target you instead of the people one rank above or below you.

Because of the requirements of locking files of both users during a battle, it's not possible to bump everyone down for all the fights going on simultaneously. Just think about it, how would it work?

Just think about it, how would it work? Not sure. But then I'm not in charge. ;) Perhaps just making it score-based ranks? That would remove the locking requirement altogether and give the freedom for several other proposed fixes, including longer game timers and health/damage balancing for longer matches.

I love how so many of you speak to people with no respect. The internet makes you all feel so tough. Easy to do when a 6'3" 265lb man is so far away. Listwn, I have played many games with the same style of arena with much better AI. That Is my point! Pretty simple really

Lol see what I mean...so tough LMAO.
I have 18 characters 7* purple gear. I have used many combos...let me tell you kylo is not to great. I rather have maul with did than kylo and did any day. Maul has looooow health but he can wreck a team with his special with Sid as leader. Of you think kylo and Sid are great you do not have much to work with.
