Queue times

[Blaze]

As everyone knows. In team arena the higher rated you are the longer the queue grows. I assume this is to prevent them from getting too much rating. But why should top teams be punished with less tokens (sure tokens increase based on rating. But 4 extra tokens vs double queue time...)

But the biggest issue is now arena bonus is fairly reliant on number of matches done... When it takes 5 hours to do 10 matches... Even setting aside s2... Why should top people be punished for winning. So I'd say if not willing to speed up queues cuz of rating... Why not a queue multiplier:

X minutes of time spent in queue increases tokens and arena bonus by x%. And the % constantly increases the longer in queue. Exact number would be up to glitch ofc. This would even help s2 with never having people in queue. Wait 3 hours for match and get multiplied tokens and bonus

The queue times is an issue to me. I have pretty high rating with my mains team, ranked 2 with 1.8k+ rating and I often get just 2-3 fights per hour so I can't use all my daily matches even if I queue 12 hours straight. It doesn't seem to be an issue to the other teams with lower rating.

I used to farm with up to 28% bonus but now I struggle to reach the 20% mark even while on medical leave from work and nothing but time on my hands

I just want to get decent bonus to farm trophies with and not get punished for winning arena fights.

yeah we (nem me and enduir) have also noticed the huge decrease in queue times regards to rating took us over 3 hours to do 10 matches.

The bonus was flat 10% in the prior seasons so regardless of rating you'd still get the same bonus as the rest. It's different with the current bonus; people in the lower end of the rating spectrum have the advantage and the higher rated people are punished. Lots of people also queue with afk toons in their team resulting for more match throwing and that's only rewarded with this bonus system. That's not really fair towards the people trying their hardest to win fights.

I'd support a flat bonus for everyone too so I wouldn't have to worry about staying in q for hours before getting a decent enough bonus to farm with.

they get more tokens at the higher end .

if you get a match you get tokens yes but sitting inactive in the queue for 20 - 30 minuites at a time isnt very productive, if you lose said match only 1 tokens for 30 mins seems like a ton of tokens to me.

arena queue was designed to give you time to feed your cat and do daily chores. I agree with nore that this s2 buff is just another buff me plz thread

making fun of nores reply aside...

What about an NPC team of randomness for the top lets say 5 teams, keeping q running every 10 mins at the least, winning giving 1 rating losing would lose 1, nothing major but there are tokens there

Absolutely no other reason you're not higher in arena, none, whatsoever.
You have nothing holding you back from top 3 teams, besides your choice.
Wise nore, teach us your ways to truly win arena, without putting in all that ignorant effort to get top 10.

Gotta laugh a bit that people act like this is a thread for s2. I neither play nor care about s2. I want this for s1. Only mentioned s2 for Lulz.
