I’ve decided to stop playing Arena because I’ve come to believe the game is more frustrating than fun. Here’s why.

Skill and dedication are valued too little compared to random luck and the willingness to spend money. If you lose the coin toss, you are at a pretty decent disadvantage. If you lose the coin toss AND have the bad luck to draw an opponent with all level 10 classes (mine are mostly level 6, 7 and 8), it’s almost a guaranteed loss. This happens more often than you’d think when you are at level 41.

I understand Rovio wants to make money on the games they produce. But when winning equals paying money, there’s little incentive to invest cash. Winning doesn’t give you a good feeling when you haven’t mastered something but just paid for it. In fact, winning sort of feels like having cheated.
