That doesn't really help. What I don't want is to end playing games I don't want to play... Once in-game is too late.

Now you hit the real problems of Arena Mode. You are not the first one to complain about these. Restricting players helps a bit though.

Uff, just carried on playing and it is pretty bad indeed. Even if I configure it saying I only want to play against people that are my level I end playing against people that are not really good... More than half of the games were a bit... meh

How can someone with 200 Elo (or even less) that has only won 40% of the games¹ be in the elite league?

I guess I'll have to go back to simple games where I can face top players in every single game. Quite contradictory that you face better players in the games for relax than in competition games.


¹ In 2 player games where top players are above 60% victories.
