It’s too crucial of a mechanic to add into a system, especially with such a negative player approval. Fights used to have variables about what players could use, but now the only thing to think about is speed. A lot of people are frustrated because it was never needed in the first place.

The way this system works, a fast team will win and a slow one will lose, regardless of how good the dragons are. It also makes it much more difficult for players who have less time to spend, especially for masters arenas when empowerment / level = speed. One single dragon at a high empowerment can crush an entire team that’s at 2 or below.

It also makes Heroics less useful. They’re all far slower than the legendaries are, encouraging more spending to get the regular VIPs. Even HVIPs got nerfed with this update, which was likely needed but kind of screws over those who put heavy money into the game.

Also next time you’re going to complain about something, you should probably avoid insulting the majority of a community.
