WTF is up with arena

[Sanctume]

I've only won 2 arena games in my life, and that was because half of the players didn't actually join the game for some reason.

Anyway, I've never been up against a single team that DIDN'T have S3/S4, and trust me, my ratings are in the pit because I'm a horrible PvPer with a grand total of 23 resilience.

I'm guessing you need to be in the negatives to start seeing people without full season 9999999 gear.

So you play your team from 1500 down to 10 losses per week, and keep playing that for minimum games?

I just buy a new 1500 team weekly even if I lose all 10 games, I would be down maybe at 1380 rating.
1380 rating @ 5v5 = 318 points. In 4 weeks, I would have S4 gloves.

So lets say I kept the team and lost another 120 points down to 1260 @ 5v5 = 291, so I'm paying 200g have around 300 points a week, instead of losing 27 arena points.

I mean, 200g a week from a 5-box doing daily is easy money and take less time compared to buying a new team and losing 10 games in the arena.

A Brutal Mail Gauntlet has 23 resilience, so that just doubles your indicated res doing minimal effort.
