player cheating in arena

I highly doubt this is cheating. You can refresh the battle timer and do 2 quick battles in a row in arena. You seem like a newer player, so don't be surprised when you get attacked around payout. Just fight them back and lock in that top spot.

I believe you need to contact @CG_LucifersDaddy . And don't mention the players name in your post, only to the dev

The forum is not the place for this.. Do not do it. :|

Naming and Shaming
Naming and shaming those who you believe to be cheating is not permitted on the forum. It is not productive and does not expedite action taken against these players. Any references of this type will be removed. Instead, Report players directly for investigation information on how to do so can be viewed below.

Reporting potential cheaters
If you want to report a potential cheater, please send a message to @CG_LucifersDaddy with details on why you think someone is cheating, your ally code and the name of the suspected cheater.

FYI I'm not a new player the person I mentioned sorry didn't know u can't name & shame went from 8th to 2nd in one attack I know this as I was about to block someone in fourth and fell str8 to 8th

I had a similar experience. I was in 22nd place and tried to move into the teens. It said someone was engaged in an arena battle with me already.
I refreshed and I was knocked back to 29th place by a team with 4* and 5* toons.

The most you SHOULD be able to move is only 6 (I think once you get passed rank 30). I refreshed multiple times for several minutes but the most that would the highest I could see in matches was 23rd.

I had to battle some else first just to get back in range. That shouldn't happen.

Maybe a bug rather than a cheater?
