A few of us are doing well in 5s. Its doable, yes... but very very difficult at the moment. I had a really bad day of games on Thursday, and it just ruins my whole attitude when that happens because of how hard I work on my arena setup.

It still feels great to own some noobs, but it's very hard to do so at high ratings. Much worse than season 2-4 was due to all the dmg out there.

However, in response to you questions: 5s are definately more active than season 5. If you have the patience, skill, and perfect setup - you can still do well. Just dont expect free rating like in BC.
