Eliminate timer in Grand Arena?

I thought I saw somebody else post this a while ago (can't find it now), but it finally hit me today as a great idea and I'm wondering if other people feel similarly.

Grand Arena is all about full roster utilization, including spur-of-the-moment teams you haven't tried before. And using them against defense teams you might not have seen either. It seems reasonable that you'd need more time to think through your moves during each battle. Squad Arena has a 5 minute limit so you can't lock yourself up and prevent other people from attacking you, which doesn't apply here.

Any reason at all why GA battles should be timed? What have I missed?

EDIT: might be stating the obvious, but yes I'm in a tough matchup right now and having an aneurysm trying to plan one attack. I think it's a lost cause, unless one Hail Mary team can knock out a few of them, but I'm dreading the fight because I'll have to think too hard about each move to make it work.

  • Timer in battles it's there for one good reason. It's stop players spoiling game. It is good for arena because if you engage in battle in arena you lock yourself and your opponent in that battle. Just imagine if you don't have timer and player in first spot attacking player on second spot and for some unknown reason and he stay in the battle for one or two hours so nobody can attack him in this time. He will effectively stay on first spot indefinitely and in same time lock other player in not able to fight anyone. They could remove timer in GA but I think for legacy and other reasons they keep same system as in regular arena.
