Hey. I have to Player against ppl which are some lvl about me.
they offen have 2-3 heal. The time to win against this ppl is with 5min to short. Often at the end of time i have 4 and the enemy has only 2 guys left and so ist loose. With more time, maybe 8min it would be easier. So, lower ppl have no chance.
sry for my bad english

this time limit is worse case over lvl 40
If you can't kill a 3 healer team fast enough then you need stronger characters, and stop fighting against players who are higher level than you.
They do need to do something about the draws though, especially if you end the fight with more characters/hp than the enemy. That used to result in a win before they changed it.
I havent started at the release, so they will allways be higher then me.
the strength of my Team is 3000-4000 points higher then theres. It's only time missing to have a chance. Why should i be satisfied with rank 30 if i could be in the top 10?
While character levels help boost stats, make sure your gear and skill levels are the highest they can be at your level. A level 50 character with gear level 5 and skills level 4 should be stronger than a level 52 character with only gear level 3 and skills level 3. Generally speaking.
You can get a rough idea of what an enemy's gear level is on their leader by looking at their avatar border. See this link for the breakdown.
Unfortunately, other than just focusing on getting to level 60 as soon as possible so your characters can be level 60 is the most you can do for now. When everyone is at 60 the game changes and you'll find yourself having a much easier time in Arena.
Although it would help if the devs reverted back to the old system of giving you a win if you have more surviving members in your team at the end of the fight.
Maybe if at the end whoever has the most people left or hp left should get the win instead of just wasting a turn to do nothing. Y'all may say I need more power to finish quicker but most of my opponents are 2k-3k under my power (which I don't understand why I struggle with some fights).
Anyway feel free to discuss if you have had similar issues or have any suggestions moving forward.
If I can still pick my target. It should stay on. It's just irritating to see my biggest bit go off focus.
Yes, it's annoying when you draw and don't gain any rank.
Yes, you need to level up your team more. Character levels, gear levels, skill levels, star ranks. As high as you possibly can depending on your account level.
Don't go by the power ratings because there appears to be a display bug and it's not showing you the right value.
I apologise if my response seems curt, but every day a new thread is created about these exact same issues and it's discussed ad nauseam.
got the healer down in red? Sure, why don't we randomly change it to the tank with 8 full bars, who will probably cast taunt next round.
Im hovering around rank 20 in pvp. 4/5 matches end up in a draw. I usually have 4 ppl left and enemy has 1-2 left.
People are saying update your gear and lvl. Ofc everyone is doing that but the competition is doing that also and more geared and leveled you become the harder it is to beat pvp in 5 mins(hp and def increase faster than dmg via updates).
I know there is a workaround for those bariss/lumi/chewie teams but its gonna take months or hundreds of euros to get that kinda team.
The pvp system definetly needs to be worked. There is no question about that!
Sorry, I don't know what else to say. I've only had 2 draws from time outs since global launch. Every other fight has ended in either me or the enemy team being completely defeated. Most fights end with at least 2 minutes left on the clock.
5 minutes is more than enough time for me.
Edit: Sorry, I should also mention that I'm level 60 and the only money I've spent on the game is $5 for Dooku pack and $7 for crystals from free Google Play credits.
I started at global launch. Im currently lvl52 and pvprank 14. Since last post i have played 5 arena matches and they all ended in a draw. Last one even ended with 5 on each side so not a single dead char in 5 minutes!
Against bariss/lumi/chewie it takes around 2 minutes to take down chewie. Taunt + selfheal + bariss heal + lumis heal. I cant even win with autoplayon eventho autoplay plays it alot faster.
As i am allmost F2P(bought bariss), im working on very limited heropool and its allmost imposible to get those high dmg heroes without paying. Im also running only 2 healers (bariss,lumi,chewie,dooku,asajj). So i dont have many options in shortterm, tho im gonna get sid today which should help with healing immunity buff.
So well see how much healing immunity changes it but without that the clock just runs out allmost every single time.
Top two run Luminara, Consular, Barriss Offee. Impossible to beat no matter my rotation. The reality is that people should have a chance to outplay these people. This is ruining the game. It could be fun to see some versatility in peoples groups but its not going to happen when this comp is so readily available and so OP.
This actually used to be how the Arena used to work when the timer was 3 minutes long. If you ran out of time, and you were "winning" then you would be given the win and rank up.
I am running a 2-healer team with Barriss and Dooku and I can beat other similar teams, even at a higher level... because I have learned how to do it. Dooku for example.. there's a very specific strategy. Same thing in terms of deciding whom to attack first and whom to leave. You learn, you get better at it.
And the draw thing is good because it cuts down on constant "churn" in the rankings.
If you draw, think again about your team and the order in which you'll kill your opponents.
Raise the time limit to 6 or 7 minutes and that's all that is needed.
The problem is, we can't up the timer on PvP because of the rank swap system we're using. Right now, when you engage another player, both of your character records are locked--which means nobody can fight you. This is fine at anything below Rank 20, but once you start hitting Rank 20 or higher, it makes it extremely difficult to actually engage in a PvP battle.
This is something we are aware of and are working on. In fact, one of my main priorities is to rethink how we handle PvP and what we do with it in the future.
And how do you suppose they earned their pvp ranks? Definitely not by draw because then they would lose, they earned their ranks by playing manually and winning the match. And if you cant win against their team which is only manage by the game AI then I think you deserve to lose.
Maybe rethink your strategy, pick sidious for heal immunity, use stun/skill block, level up your skill/gear etc. This is only my opinion, and I am not that high in rank PVP though.
Kill faster.
They always show up 500-2500 Higher than me power wise, though that could just be from being in the top 10 and top 20. I keep drawing Barriss, Lum, Duku and a combo of JC,Sid, Chewie, Ventress(who heals the team, yet my Ventress does not oddly) Tailia. When I was at 10kish power my opponants were 11-13k to choose from, at Nearly 13 my draws are mid 14k-15 it takes me the time limit often, but I have 4-5(typically 5 standing, to their 1. That should give me a win, not draw, especially up against higher rated teams. The draws I get are also, on average 3-6 Levels higher than me since I broke 40.
And yet, I think the timer is necessary and at the proper time limit. If you're running out of time, evaluate your team and attack plan. If you can't beat a team in 5 minutes, frankly you don't deserve to move past them.
