If all we’re going to get are mirror matches and timed out battles, how about take away the ridiculous timer in arena? What’s the point of having it in the first place? There’s been too many times I’ve had it down to GK and Bastilla left on the opposing team with all 5 left on my squad and it’s timed out. Obviously I was going to win, so why is it fair to time out? It’s an outdated model with this meta and probably future metas. Time to get rid of the timer.

People would get to number one and then lock themselves out of battles till the daily prizes were issued probably.

Because if there was no timer, than players would be able to lock indefinitely.

If no one moves, 1 minute countdown. Seems like an easy fix.

More is definitely better and you can sacrifice a bit of speed to get that high. That should go a long way toward reducing your timeouts. If you're still timing out you may want to change up your kill order or squad. Nah it’s completely RNG dependent. Nothing more, nothing less.

Instead of increasing the time, they just need to make a times 20 speed or something.

If you're timing out regularly you may want to check your offensive capabilities. Revan should be around 6000 special damage and GMY around 6700. More is definitely better and you can sacrifice a bit of speed to get that high. That should go a long way toward reducing your timeouts.

If you're still timing out you may want to change up your kill order or squad.

Could be. I went for a long stretch without timing out. Happened twice today. You’ll get there kiddo.

I've been running Revan since his first event and I can count on one hand the number of times I've timed out. Somehow I don't think I'll "get there".

You can laugh at my advice if you'd like. I'd still encourage you to try it.

As others have pointed out, it would be easily manipulated. Another idea, improve your squad/mods and win faster.
