Arena defensive system

It needs to be changed its so dumb how I can win every offensive game the highest I can and still lose overall rank from the previous day. Today alone I went from 6 hours previous to this to #150ish to #300 and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. Arena rank is way to much about luck defensively then it is skill offensively. Not to mention a good portion of arena games comes down to who can dodge more attacks and who gets luckier resistance. It's also pretty stupid how when you play a team and they heal there low health person who has healing immunity... It's all cool against opponents but seeing how they do that I'm thinking my own team sometimes will stupidly do that and make dumb decisions.

    Healing when nobody is injured except a healing immune toon is obviously bad AI.

    That said, it's not true that there's "absolutely nothing" you can do about it. Load your fifth attempt with a more defensive team.

    If you're looking for assistance, rather than just whinging, you'll need to give more info, e.g. level, arena team.

    It's because the AI isn't the smartest on defence, but most teams can beat other teams if you focus on the right characters in order, for the most part.
    And there is a lot you can do about holding your arena ranking. I used to drop from 30ish to 70ish between the times I play arena, until I added a Tank, now I drop from inside 20 to usually 30ish.

    The heal on a person who has healing immunity only works with Barriss since her heal is different then everyone else, takes HP from everyone adds some and gives back, so perhaps its not the game but you just need to learn the ins and outs a bit better.

    No I know that I mean when you play someone else and they have someone say JC or luminara at max health with some protection and one other character at low health and healing immunity so then JC/luminara completely waste their turn to heal nobody

    From the offensive side of things, there's nothing I like more than seeing Lumi and JC take back-to-back turns trying to heal that immune toon. Match over at that point.

    With a team like this you will ofc be targetted more often than if you had a better composotion. If on top of that you have low team power compared to other teams at level 150 you will be a sitting duck with a big bulls eye painted on it's side.

    No, it's got nothing to do with luck. The RNG influence is the same on offense as on defense. However, the AI algorithms greatly influences the outcome.

    I'd replace Sid and Ashoka with Rey and someone (Rg, 5s, Leia)

    Han works better with Ben....

    I hadn't thought of placing an arena defensive team until a couple days ago, when I saw somebody mention it in a thread similar to this one. I'd been getting into the top 50 in arena, but losing a lot of ground on defense so that I kept having to refresh arena each day just to get back to top 50. Last night I swapped Poe for Luke as a defensive measure, and my rank hasn't budged since I last fought about 18 hours ago.

    So, yeah. If you haven't formed a defensive team to leave in the arena when you're otherwise occupied, do so. (Unless you're on my server. Then don't.)
  • Wow so last night I finished the day(about 16 hours ago) around rank 140ish now at this moment I am rank 286 that is downright absurd dropping around 150 ranks in just 16 hours not even a full day so they couldn't get refresh and the refresh was last night at 6:00 EST anyways. I mean really I would have to lose like 10 battles in that span. I almost always win all 5 battles everyday yet somehow I still lose overall rank. This needs to be fixed now EA
