How does opponent searching work for Arena

[coleman07]

Hello,

I use to be able to get an arena game going within minutes of searching but, now it is taking a very long time. I have a 100% rep and am in the Platinum league so I am not sure why it takes so long or doesn't find anyone. It is what it is but, if I can change something about me, that would be good information.

Thanks

Look for a long thread about arena down the list titled "Cannot changed desired level in arena". They are basically experimenting so that everyone has the same arena settings, and they are made so you match with people closer to you in rank. It used to match you with pretty much anyone to start the game earlier. I think it's better for fairer arena game matches especially in more popular games like Diceforge. But that also means for less popular Euro games you could be waiting quite a while.
