So I have been playing for about a year and a half and have been struggling to get into the top thousand of my leader board/shard group of Squad Arena.
At first I thought it was normal, being surrounded by players who were all gear 12, zetas and good gear.
How wrong was I? I have looked at my guild team mates who some of them are up at like 200 with zero zetas, no gear 12 etc. Whereas I have several gear 12 and a few zetas and I'm still around the 1100 rank?? There is no way they would be anywhere near that rank in my leader board.
So it appears that there are many leader boards where it's a breeze to get lots more rewards for low characters whereas someone with pretty decent teams (my best is around 101k) gets rubbish rewards being stuck with total tough opponents.
Hardly fair

Also, younger shards will have weaker top 100s in general.
Also, check your mods. If you have no mods focused on speed or no mods at all, you won’t do well.
Its possible you started right when a TON of whales started, and that would suck, but its more probable that you just haven't progressed as competitively as your shard.
I really think I started at a wild time with plenty of retained players but I'm not giving up haha
My current team
The folk I face at a low level...
Doing a mod reshuffle but low on credits to max them out grr
Pretty much this..... You want 5 synergized toons, and you want over 200 speed on each..... On the team you have, you need Vader to be super fast, he is the one that will get your turn meter train going..... Get Sion, get some speed on your mods and you will climb like crazy.....
I don't think you'll like what I'm about to say, but being a full f2p player that started in Dec' 2016, I'm leaps and bounds ahead compared to your arena team. Any competitive player will tell you that mods and synergies are what makes an arena team strong and from what you showed, you lack both. Your speed on arena units is what most ppl have after 7-9 months of playing, currently you won't go anywhere if you can't provide around +100 speed from mod sets. Again to give you a different view - I'm playing 4 months longer than you, but have multiple mod sets ranging from +120-140 speed.
I would suggest you farm mods from now on and try to get smth decent. Use crouchingrancor site or discord bots to provide suggestions how to mod each character. Also try to get in touch with your arena shardmates, since 99% they have a server set up, but unless you're in #100 range, nobody will care much about it.
Congratulations for you!😃👍
