Speed system needs reworked.

I've come to find after a month or so that Arena is tilted massively in the AI's benefit speed wise. If all things are equal typically most of the AI team will go before you ever have a chance. Spread their debuffs and do their nuke attacks and then you are starting behind the 8 Ball so to speak. System should be made like better RPG games with better speed mechanics.. no team can go twice in a row, fastest character overall goes first, then fastest on opposing team goes second, and you go back and forth like this through the teams, and then start the rotation over. This keeps things balanced and does not allow the AI to create an unfair advantage because it decided to RNG itself having its entire team go first.

    No, this was two mashed together teams featuring the leads of Dooku and Luminara with nobody providing any real speed boost or penalty. Everything was equal in all honesty and the AI decided to take all five first turns anyways


    Not even close to possibly true. Equal implies equal speeds.

    If you want to convince people, that this is true, you need to provide more information. Complete team compositions and speeds.



    Even if he's telling the truth, he's missing something. "the leads of Dooku and Luminara" doesn't really make sense. And what is this, 2016? Dooku and Lumi in arena?

    Well, actually, it depends how new he is.

    I started an alt that is now level 72 and in the 1000 arena range, and I see plenty of Dooku and even some Lumi.

    I saw a Biggs lead yesterday btw.

    Well, that part makes sense. 2 teams - 2 leaders - 1 for each team. However, it doesn't correspond with his claim about "all things being equal", since it's 2 different teams.
