I have (beat an opponent with all five spells), but now if I see an opponent use all spells I exit the game.

Unless Rovio decides to fix the Arena mode I think I’m done with AB2 outside of the new single player levels they introduce. The asynchronous battle mode would make some sense, if the opponent played the same set of levels in the same order as I do and the graphics showed their progression. Now it’s a game of “beat this hidden random number, which might be impossible to beat with the levels you got”. I don’t look at the opponent animation at all anymore, because it’s just a condensed recording of some player playing some levels, which has nothing to do with the ones I’m in.

Thanks for Clovos for the insights about the design choices Rovio made, but you can’t convince me this is a change for the better, because for me, it’s the opposite. I’m sure there players playing the Arena mode much more because of it, but I think you’ll find soon it’s fewer players playing more frequently. The number of Arena levels is quite limited, and the more you play them the faster it starts to feel like a grind.
