Yeah the insults is all great, fine and expected. I understand mods very well and that’s not the issue. It’s not that I can’t win . Point is I was matching up the same but making sure they were stronger characters (yes to include mods). I figured by saying how far ahead in points on average of the other teams everyone would understand that I also had as good or better mods on those characters as well.

0f course I’ve been noticing the AI seeming to always have the quite the advantage from the beginning. Five tries for a test isn’t very many but its pretty hard and takes a lot of time to come across an opponent with the exact same characters and also have five characters that are better than his, and/or be able to switch mods up so they are. It’s only five tries but I think I see a trend and what I’m saying is I’m shocked at how overwhelmingly I was beat. My AI with stronger characters versus the game/opponents AI.

Did you factor in turn order? Makes a big difference with certain team comps. Basically decided DR matches at this point, along with a little bit of RNG.

Dooku, Palp, Maul, Sidious, Trooper - you don't have a dispel there so if they have a faster trooper with high tenacity that resist shock and you have a slow trooper with low tenacity that gets shocked, it's very easy to see how that matchup goes sideways given that the AI will largely be executing the same actions in the same order.

There are so many complicated interactions between teams and actions within a team, that making a blanket statement like "arena is fixed because my AI controlled team doesn't beat their AI controlled team" is basically meaningless. There was one opponent in a JKR mirror I could always beat on auto, and one I could never beat on auto in the old JKR mirror. Why? Because...turn order. AI is running all three teams the same way, turn order and speeds matched up in my favor against one opponent and against me in the other.
