"Players will only receive a higher rank’s rewards AFTER the FIRST TIME you achieved Six Paths Sennin rank! This is in order to encourage all of you go farther and farther in the Arena!"

Kind of agree with the sentiment in this thread that it instead seems to make a lot of people stop trying. I think the negative points are fine tbh, but I also agree that it *s when combined with the minimum rewards every season until you hit 6 paths for the first time.

Just to play devil's advocate here, if negative points get reset at the end of a season or are capped AND they keep the current system of not being able to de-rank, what's to stop someone from just constantly giving away free wins? They won't rank up that season, but everyone who gets to fight them will get a boost up though the rankings. If people are already using alts to get sage of six paths before cross server arena is activated, I'm sure they'll also just park alts at the Jonin-Super Kage tiers to just boost themseleves through every season.

Well currently, if you give away 2 wins you put yourself 2 points deeper into the hole next season. A reset or 0 point loss would let you continue to do this EVERY season.

Honestly I think they should just remove the requirement of having to reach 6 paths at least once before getting normal rewards. I don't think they can/will, but that's the main source of the problem. I think most people would be happy getting to a rank they can achieve and getting the corresponding rewards each season, it's the REQUIREMENT to hit the HIGHEST rank before getting decent rewards that has so many people giving up.

Is there a minimum point threshold for matching people in arena? When chain queuing I seem to keep running into the same people even if I keep losing/winning to them. Does this mean that they're also winning/losing to someone else to stay close to me in points or can you get matched up with anyone in ranked if the timer goes for too long?


EDIT:
For context, lost to the same person 4 or 5 times in a row. So our point difference went on a 8-10 point swing from the first match to the last, probably more since they would have started getting +2 from a streak. A few days ago, I ran into someone else 4 times in 6 fights and won all of them and they said they kept running into me in a row (but I have no way to confirm this is true or just an exageration, unlike my last example).
