Arena's progression

Helo there guys, it’s Paraflux here from S9, Warner Bros guild.

Am i the only one who’s having some problems trying to reach new arena’s ranks?
I’m stucked at Silver3 from 2 weeks. I reached 1st position like 4/5 times, same for 2nd and 3rd, but i always get beaten by someone and i lose my “cooldown time” to pass to new ranks.
Isn’t 15h a bit to much? I say yes. It’s really to much time considering that (in my server and in my arena rank) there are like 30 players contending firsts positions trying to get higher ranks, and in 15h there is a really high possibility to be taken down, since the fact that in Silver3 it’s quite impossible to have an unbeatable team.
I would reduce the “cooldown time” from 15h to 3h, 5h, 7h, 9h, 11h for the first 5 positions.

A shorter promotion time would be awesome but not sure if they’d ever do it. Once you get to the higher levels like platinum the timers are 2 days to promote. That’s a long time for other’s to bump people out. There’s some people who sit in their arena’s/coli’s for months because they can’t promote out.

Im a tl 74 from server 7. I face the same things here, when i sleep being 1st in arena i get crippled to 17th when I wake up. This is very depressing as im stuvk for 2 weeks. The key is just being too overpowered to be won in your arena stage. Be patient and keep calm. Or just wait for those high rankers to promote then you may have your chance to promote as well. Cheers

Arena is one of the few competitive game modes in the game. It is not meant to be easy to promote and it is also an opportunity to flex those strategy skills. You don’t need to hold your spot for a continuous 15/24 hours, you can get beaten down and then fight your way back up and try to keep the timing counting down as much as possible. Personally I also feel the 50 diamonds is worth another 5 tries if it gets you the promotion. You get a nice chunk of rewards every promotion and also better daily rewards. Pitting your team against another’s is supposed to be fun!

The other way is to let your league fill with more players, so there are more promotion spots and that makes it easier to move up. Also if they split your league you can get a higher spot without doing anything. If you feel stuck though, waiting it out this way is not going to solve that feeling.
