Completely agree with you, I made a post aswell in customer service claiming everyone I fight has better refines then me (Meaning more BP/Lvl), so it is physically impossible to get six paths rank. I started rank 40 super kage. Now I am rank 33 -5 because almost every opponent I face has high initiative then me with barrier ninja and or round 1 gnw tenten. I run Ao, Chojuro, Mei, AF and it is a solid team, but when the opponent out initiates you with either round 1 tenten or mirror I lose. Which the main comp I verse is Mei, GNW Tenten, Mabui, AF. I will almost 100% of the time lose because they are too fast for my interrupt. Unsure of how arena is "balanced" when it seems I only verse 2 comps, round 1 tenten or kk gaara wind main, sage, fk temari, which both most of the time out initiate me. There is a -% chance that I will hit six paths in less than 10 days if I solely only did arena because I would be worse off than I already am. There should be negative ranks in the first place. Honestly I think we shouldn't lose point if we lose in the first place, but hey devs/mods say it's fair there is a good chance they already hit six paths in the past before most people got screwed over with this months seasonal rewards. Why make people hit six paths 1 time before they are able to get their rank rewards? Honestly make no sense! Just give them there rewards based on there rank then reset them, simple! Enough of my rant though. Let just hope enough people are pissed off about this so that they make some type of change so that we fight people more fairly. I am tired of joining queue and 80% of the time my opponent has more initiative then me meaning they have more bp most likely, so how is that fair? Why not base it off of bp instead of rank/server age?

Curious to where it is forgiving? I almost always queue into Mabui GNW Tenten Mei and AF. If they have the higher initiative it's game over, you never stood a chance. I understand the mods have very little say in what gets changed. In the end it's the devs choice on what gets changed to mods can only recommend stuff to higher ups. Cross server arena really does piss me off though. Fought the same guy 4 times in a row! How is that cross server? I know there is more than 1 person my rank in arena mid-day.

When you finally stop queuing against the same person and get this *! Fair!

Did you hit six paths before or after cross server? Also explain to me why would you make users get six paths 1 time before they can get certain rank rewards? I would be more than willing to get six paths if almost everyone I versed didn't have greater initiative. I understand it will happen, but out of the 10 arena runs I did today 9 of them were faster and only versed 4 different people in arena so cross server really widens the chance to fight different people.

Barriers are not the issue round 1 GNW Tenten is issue. If you don't have the higher initiative then you lose. Even if you immobile/interrupt on her before she does her move either AF or Mabui will heal her and remove the debuff. Then next round you have Mei's mystery. same ordeal with that. If you know a counter to that please share it. Also there is MB Berseker teams yeah have fun with those. This post was last edited by Koncept at 2017-2-20 07:37

You have to hit 6 paths 1 time before you can get rewards better than the lowest rank, after that you will get the rewards for your rank

I thought power was supposed to be the same in arena? I know it isn't much a difference, but mods said power is equal.
