How can I do anything against a Grand Arena opponent whose three defending teams can easily beat anything I put against them?Almost every single opponent I have has full GL12 teams, plural, whereas I have zero full GL12 teams. In fact I have 4 characters GL12, and frequently my opponents have 20, 30 plus.It isn't enjoyable coming in 6th or 7th place so frequently.

Ah, I am wrong. Not the matchmaking... It must be the players fault for choosing the wrong characters, or investing incorrectly... No, it couldn't be a very poorly implemented matchmaking system.

I posted last night in response to someone having complaints that he’s missing out on zetas now since he is now bumped up in a new, rougher bracket. I had said that he isn’t imagining those few who aren’t receiving ANY zetas during this entire thing. I think the intent is those with similar win/ loss rates get matched so it later becomes more balanced — yet in the end many will not get a single zeta. I’m not sure there’s a quick fix: use this as a guide of what teams to focus on. Begin with your arena team / legendary prep characters etc as those definitely need g12 Have you tried softer DEF and saving squads you know can beat through most of his placements ?

Get better characters. Farm better. Stop complaining.

It doesnt take 1 month to get a G12 character unless you dont try to g12 them.

You shouldn't expect FB Luke to beat Traya.

Mods.

Work on your farming

Choosing? There’s no choice, everyone uses the exact same characters.

This is demonstrably false. Heck, one of my most used characters is one I have literally never seen anyone else use.

Out of curiosity, who is it ? But I agree. Saying everyone uses the same characters is only true to the smallest degree , in that everyone has the same options of characters.

Ooh I know this one. It's Rose.

Liath got it. I have a G13 zRose Tico, who's in my JTR team, which is one of my go-to teams.
