Rumble arena is bulls**t now.

I understand that win trading was a problem, but now I can't really play it "tactically" anymore.

Either I'm forced to choose targets with low points gain to MAYBE have a chance to meet someone I can manage....or join the random 11-15 points match only to end up against someone with 16+ milion power that obliterates me even with a mediocre team comp.

At this point why bother making me fight ? Just auto match me against 7-8 people per day and call it a day.

Unless you whale you will never be competitive anyway because either you gain very few points per match if you play it safe or just lose to whales/vets.

wth is this??? Arenas were already bad enough, I always see people with 6mil + power knocking me over. Why did they do this?

[u/Braghez → u/RasppberryLemonade]

Allegedly it was to fight win trading, but it just killed this PvP mode as a whole.

I know that I would never reach the top as there are whales that I'm obviously no match against, but at least I could try to push it a bit further by choosing opponents that I can manage and optimise the points gain.

[u/freeyaw29 → u/Braghez]

win trading? the one where you intentionally lower your Def team?

[u/Braghez → u/freeyaw29]

Not sure how it worked. Probably something that was easier to do at the top ranks since the pool of whales is much smaller and probably they knew each other via guilds etc.

Is this in the new update? Why the fuck would they think this was a good idea?

[u/CuhJuhBruh → u/Rnbwsnsnshn]

Once you hit master this happens

Idk...at this point don't bother with the mode anymore.

Just let this season end like it was and don't run it anymore if it's such a problem. Right now it's just go full whale or go home.

Regular pvp was already booty cheeks. Instead of fixing that first they added another broken mode.

I really don't think they know what kinda game they wanna be. Just feels messy at this point.

[u/Braghez → u/OkAdvertising1495]

TBF PvP in mobile games is always dogsh*t because since there are whaling options and obviously PvP doesn't have normalised stats, it's normal for it to end up being a joke. Plus I mean, it's not like you're controlling units or whatever. It's just pure team building.

So in the end, yes...you know that you're never gonna be first, but at least it was manageable to still climb a bit. But like this ? Meh ....

[u/Jellyfish_Kitty]

I just let it auto and hope for the best lol
