Completely useless in arena due to unfair matchmaking

Hello- I am a nearly level 40 player with around 8,500 power. I am at 2900 in arena. At this point, I havent found an opponent with less than 10000 power. I simply cannot compete. Normal? My friend is in a "different" arena at 5,800 power and can consistently break top 1000. What the heck? I simply cannot win any arena fight, period. Why is he finding similarly leveled opponents when all mine are level 50+? He is also level 40- I have better characters and higher gears/stars, yet his arena is a breeze and he will blow past me in the arena store characters in no time.

    You started your account earlier than your Friend but quit or paused for a period of time. Everyone else in YOUR Leaderboard has moved on and progressed beyond you.

    I started my account right near when the game was launched and quit until like two weeks ago. So I'm just totally boned from here on out? Rip

    I have spent some money on the game to try to kickstart myself, as friends started getting into it. Unlocked Baze and Wedge, would be horrible to have to restart.

    On one hand hand you are almost way farther ahead to restart, or keep your current account, and it will be a lot of work to catch up with your shard/leaderboard, I imagine the top of your arena is all level 85 players then?

    Just looked- there is only one sub 85 player in my top 50. Level 82 ranked 26

    Edit- JK his lead is level 82, all 50 are 85 player level.

    Honestly, it depends on what exactly you want to accomplish in arena, overlooking arena, there's nothing else that changes in the game for you, however, to rank up high in arena, will take a lot of hard work, even on a new account, so it's kinda a toss up,
