It's based on your rank points

Really? How do you know that? Is that why it takes me forever to find a match (I'm kage at 33 points and stuck there) :(

Before you start another 10 more threads (You've got 1 from 9 days ago, and 3 the past 2 days) on the same issue.

What server are you in btw? Didn't see that part mentioned anywhere. I wouldn't even suggest to refresh the page and clear cache and cookies, cause I'm pretty sure you've already tried that.

Yes. If you are for eg. Anbu rank, you are gonna be matched with Anbu or someome higher if he is in minus.

Server is HK299. Is there a server bracket too? And yeah my earlier threads weren't very constructive (I was fairly new to ranked arena 2.0 since I didn't play it much before cuz it was cross server. but I decided to give it a go recently) thats why I made this thread. I just figured that the information I was talking about in the OP would be very helpful for arena instead of making people wonder why they are matched in the way that they are being matched.

for what i've seen you can be matched with people around your actual points.
Lets say you are, like me, 26 -4, you can be matched with whoever has got 21-23 points, doesn't matter if they are kage -10 or anbu +1.
btw yes, arena matching is rotten

That's about right.

The system tries to match people similar to rank and points.
Which can cause the system to take longer to matchmake.

My suggestion would be, every time it reaches 5 minutes, Refresh the counter.
It normally helps a lot.

A better suggestion would be that they actually make a better matching system for the arena. Cause it gets beyond annoying with how long it can take.

Along with throwing people against others that have the most OP teams you can imagine.
