Current contest, players punished for progressing in arena

So, I was led to believe I should strive to climb as high as I can in arena, right? Well look here, a contest with a scoring system requiring wins with specific heroes in arena and coliseum… Encouraging us to drop our defense to go lower and try to have battles we are sure to win even with heroes that might not be as developed.

Bad idea guys… Should have been do arena/coliseum fights with those heroes, win or lose, not just win.
Punished for getting promoted into a league where most players are higher level than me, great.

How are you being punished for being promoted? Everyone works on their heroes differently. Some people may have only worked on those heroes for all we know. If you haven’t worked on those specific heroes, it’s a coincidence and bad luck.

EVERY contest similar to this we’ve had has been the same… the heroes need to LIVE (meaning you need to win) in order to get the points.

You realize you don’t have to drop your defenses right? It has just become a unspoken rule where players do so to make the event easier and allow everyone to benefit and get closer to the event rewards. Also the contest will more than likely only last 3 days. Surely most players aren’t such tryhards as to not help out their fellow players.

The contest in no way punishes players for progressing. If during the contest they took away points for losing in arena and col then maybe your OP would hold water. However nothing of the sort happens. If you don’t want to drop the defense that’s fine. Just know you have the risk of being looked down on for not following said rule.

As for the heroes you need to win with, Van I understand if you haven’t been raising her but Ralph is in the top 3 tanks in the game alongside Sulley and Baymax so you should focus on him regardless.
