Totally agree. I will never willingly play 2 player Puerto Rico.

Dear Arena Developers!
I played Bubble Pop yesterday and the Arena choosed me a partner for 2 games. I won both. I earned 0 Arena point with it... ☹
In some cases I can loose only? It is not a big motivator...

To me the biggest remaining flaw in the otherwise very enjoyable arena format is the fact that you can end up winning again and getting zero points for it. It just seems silly that the matchmaking algorithm matches you in a match in which you have absolutely nothing to gain and only things to lose.

That’s not really very fun!

I have a 165 ELO in Gomoku and was relegated to non-arena status. Can I play my into arena games in season 7 or just wait for season 8?

And then some players complain when they have to wait a long time to get an opponent of close enough league.... No good solution here.

The Gomoku arena was shut down for everyone, as happened to many other solved abstract games…

Well, the matchmaking rules go a bit wrong. I have played 3 games while in silver and at times I have been paired with the best of the list. And 7 minute wait on 2 of the games. Good way to waste time and games.

No the solution is you always get minimum 1 shield for a win no matter what league the opponent. No waiting, no pointless games either
