Arena is a pretty fun gamemode to kill your time since you play a whole full match but as we already know, some people in this world is just “morally challenged” and “emotionally moronic” (dunno just thought these phrases sound cool). I played a match today and I experienced the highest level of toxicity possible (in this game). I was in a loosing scenario and during the opponent’s turn, they just freeze my one and only Phobie right that moment and just ignores my Phobie and start killing my heart. Normally, I would take this as reasonable because more damage = more exp and they might just want to maximize their reward. But, on the last turn, they used their Phobie to attack and undo continuously on mine without letting the animation finish, like an action of mockery and they repeat until they run out of time. I am not too upset about this (mostly because I was busy reading a book) but this is the reason why I don’t want to play Arena often and I normally wait until my async rank got so high that I shred through all my opponents in arena (sorry). But another annoying thing is that I find people just quitting after getting in a loosing situation, forcing me to wait for the 2 dreadfully long turns to end. My point is, this game is amazing and I love that you can play the quick style gameplay (arena) or the slow style gameplay (async) but sometimes, you can meet some random childish dirthead that would ruin your day. I hope none of you (except for the insufferable donkeys in here) meet any of those people and have a nice day. Also, thank you for listening to my rant.

Why didn’t you just resign? Or quit and make them wait the 2 annoying turns. Some could argue what you are doing is making your opponent check mate you in chess when you’ve only got your king left and they have a queen. In chess that would usually be considered insulting.
I must admit i don’t play arena at all, I tried it, I just can’t be bothered with the time pressure.
If you surrender in arena you get no rewards and your match doesnt count towards the season pack.
Ive had that before, its really annoying
I had no idea, that definitely sucks. I feel that if you’ve played say 3+ moves then you can resign, rather than have to pay a doomed game to it’s inevitable conclusion.
