Maybe consider adding protection feature to Arena only and returning game play the way it was for the rest of the game. Arena is by definition only 1 round, so you don't need to recharge protection. But GW, Challenges, L&D hard battles either need some way to recharge Protection, or just go back to way it was.
I 100% agree with this. I didn't care about arena since I know I won't have the time to build a team strong enough to get into the top 100, so I focus on building deep teams to win GW and for the eventual Rancor battles that I hope will take your entire squad.
