The #1 Quality of Life change needed

Is arena matching.

I just sat at rank 13 and refreshed over 50 times before the arena matching algorithm gave me the privilege of attacking rank 8. And what is the freaking point of this? Why is this algorithm so insistent that I attack 9 instead of 8?

This happens quite frequently, especially at ranks 13-15. And of course the first couple of times you do get the rank you want, you are in the refresh zone and your thumb refreshes right past it. Then the cycle resumes.

Please fix this. Or am I an just an idiot and there's an easier way?
  • Or as a quick fix just automatically show the highest and make the other 2 random.

    This isn't as easy at is sounds. The info would be a snap shot, to keep it live would be a major drain on the server and bandwidth.

    That's is a great quick fix.

    You can already see the top 50 squads in the "ranks" menu...just make it so the ones that you can attack from your current position have a button next to them that allows you to attack through there...if you win and you move up - the button appears/activates on the next ones that you can battle.....would help a lot at least in top 50...
  • Question is, if it's random, why is it frequently so difficult to attack the lowest possible rank you are entitled to? It's like they designed it this way.

    a little late on my reply but here it goes.

    The ranks tab is not live data and only refreshes when you enter that tab. This would cause a large lag for people at higher ranks who would have a larger list to load each time. Even 50 takes some time.
  • Oh man, I saw the title and was going to "pffft" whatever you said and say "nah, arena matching". Gah you say 50 times, I counted today, ~200 refreshes to get from 20th to 14th. Then... darn me for being about to give up and get sloppy, I passed it! QoL NEEDED, please. This matching is ridiculous as for us small percentage of players in ~top 20.
