Squad Arena Glitch

The highest jump isn't necessarily the hardest battle. Not sure if you're under the impression it is, but it looks like you are. It's just bad luck that you're unable to beat the one showing up in the right panel so often.
Defeating a team in the middle panel twice (different teams, same panel) could potentiallly lead to a better rank than the team you couldn't beat wich was initially in the right panel. Or better yet, after beating a team in the midde panel, the next highest jump (right panel) turns out to be a beatable team.
I guess that this change could lead to having to refresh a bit more often to find a team that has a high rank, but is beatable. If this process takes very long, it's not the game's fault, your team is just too weak compared to the others in that rank region.

The middle panel is one panel. All these players complaining about refreshing the opponents for 15 minutes, looking for one fight, had three panels.

no, they had one panel. The fight they were looking for couldn't possibly show up in the middle or left panel.
The problem was that they could beat every team on the entire leaderboard, but had to refresh over 200 times for the max jump to show up.
Not doing max jumps often resulted in having to refresh with crystals or settling for a lower rank at pay-out, so it would cost them crystals only because the max jump didn't show up within 30 or so refreshes.

Deleted because I already said I'd give up lol.

I think opinion will remain divided. Can this be implemented only for the top 100 ranks? @dev
That's where most of the dissatisfaction with the old system seemed to be concentrated.

Stop this sillyness. Refresh a couple of times, and get on with it.

Apparently, I can't post a link to the dev post. But it's a feature. Go to Game Updates ->Server Update 3/29/2018

Correct not a glitch.

This was a solution to a huge player issue of never seeing the max jump possible. They did say they will monitor the situation to see if this fix is desirable so your feedback will help them see if they need to make changes but you may be in the minority on this one.

or its a vocal minority on the Forums

This was a huge issue when competing at the top end of arena where the amount of ranks you could jump was super important and you could spend 15 minutes or more hitting refresh and never see your max jump.

I would be interested to know your arena rank to see where you are because what your describing sounds ridiculous no offense.

However to be on your side a little I wish the change only applied to the top 200 of arena groupings because outside that max jumps are a lot less important. I dislike the feature on my alt account where I really have to pick and choose my battles to maintain rank.

I almost wish it was an option that could be toggled on or off so you could use it when it matters and not use it when it doesn't

Why though? The middle panel now serves the same function that the right panel used to serve. If you pay attention you'll see you can get as high up with it as one less than the max jump. It's a win-win.

But now instead of three possible contenders, I get to see two, plus this guy I have zero chance of taking down. I don’t need that.

Let's say you're rank 200. Under the old system, the left panel would let you fight #199. How is that worth anything?

Yes and no

I agree that on my main where I climb in fleet for top spot this is a huge improvement and was much needed.

However in my other 3 arenas (main account squad arena and both on my alt account) I'm finding it harder to climb because one spot is locked on the same team so It's harder to find the team I can have the best chance of beating.

That's why I changed my mind to a toggle option half way through my post that way it's up to the player

I just tested with my alt and from rank 213 the left panel still gave me 212 as an option.

So instead of showing 3 different options between 212 and 179 across all 3 panels, all those options except 179 are squeezed into the left and middle panels. This problem gets exponentially worse depending on how far back you are in arena.

Again this was a good change and needed at the top of the arena spectrum but should be a player chòice because it can be a pain at lower ranks
