I've dropped too, was comfortably in the 200s, now have to fight to get out of the 400s. Very hard to fine squads below my power to fight, most are 1-2000 above me, all with Dooku.
over the weekend my arena LB was really aggressive. I think it had to do with the new level cap and teaser from friday. Both Sunday and Monday I had to use two refreshes to remain number one on the arena, normally it takes one refresh.
I have noticed it as well. I have been top 5 for a couple of months and would fall to mid teens, now I fall to mid 30's all of the sudden, all maxed toons that follow the meta and synergize well.
Wow I must be the only one... I've been finishing between 30-100 the past month or so and the past 2 days I've finished #2 I mean I should be 1 but I get beat with 1:30 before payout lol whatever I'm happy!
anyone serious about getting number one, should try to stay in the top 10 ranks or so, one you drop to around rank 15 each defense loss drops you a lot farther down the leaderboard. I try to stay in the top 4 through out the day, and hit number 1 when payout time comes around. Then I usually hold the rank for a few hours until the next player has a pay out time.
Don't try to stay in number 1 all the time, its a futile venture. No one can stay rank 1 24/7, unless you want to use a lot of refreshes.
I was up to 8th in my shard, then when the yoda event started I had dropped all the way to 350 something. Since then I've been battling my way back up to 34th now.
Same thing to me today. I am usually #70 in the ranks. Couldn't win but one battle and finished #121. Not as horrible as your day, buy it was quite odd. Teams were WAY faster than they should have been
I'm in the same boat. I usually take #1, and then stay in the top 10/15 all day. Usually do not have to use any refreshes...today I was knocked back to 28.

So no, I've actually climbed the ranks.
