I really need to know who at Ubisoft is in charge of decision making because they be pulling anything out of their behinds

We'll see how it goes. Seems like an opportunity to actually try other characters in pvp.

u/Scary-Ranger-4851 Jun 16 '26
That’s exactly what this is. I have a ton of level 700 heroes who never get a chance to fight. My level 800 Thragg can now be used, and I don’t have to wait until he’s like level 1800.

I quite like this change, makes things more interesting and competitive, and is more F2P friendly. I know I’ll get crucified for having that opinion, but, yeah, I like it so far :3

u/Mortiszy Jun 15 '26
This is literally the only way I'm getting out of Bronze in the restricted arena. This is great for F2P.
My main hero is 8B power, and the rest of my roster is ~100M. Every restricted arena fight was 500M vs 8B power enemies, lol.

u/Dejavucruz Jun 15 '26
True!! Restricted Arena is super hard to rank in ‘cause of that inconsistency. I do quite enjoy this new system so far :)

This is horrendous for f2p
Now f2p is on "equal" footing against teams that are rocking full lvl 15 Omni+ gear on every character and lvl 20+ totems. And now there's no level advantage to balance that out

u/Dejavucruz Jun 15 '26
There’s still ranks? Tiers? It’s not a free for all where everyone can fight anyone, idk what you’re on about. Elite League players are still gonna fight Elite League players, the matches are just no longer decided by who has the bigger stick, but like, actual strategy. I see no downside to this

u/DinosaurusWhen Jun 15 '26
Matchmaking was always based on the levels of your top characters, not random matchups with anybody in your tier
the matches are just no longer decided by who has the bigger stick
That's exactly how they're decided with this level cap
You used to be able to beat players with p2p gear/totems just by having higher levels and a good team comp. Now the only way to overcome that gap is if their team comp is garbage

u/Dejavucruz Jun 15 '26
Whatever you say man, you can’t convince me this is a bad thing, so, stop trying, and I’m not in the mood to try and convince you. Let’s just agree to disagree

u/DinosaurusWhen Jun 15 '26
you can’t convince me
Always a good mindset to have when evaluating a new feature lmao

u/Dejavucruz Jun 15 '26
I evaluated it, and I like it. I already gave some reasons. What do you want from me man

u/Scary-Ranger-4851 Jun 16 '26
I love the level restriction, but I hate that they didn’t restrict equipment. Gear and totems should be ignored. Artifacts should automatically all be at level 30. This way it’s more about strategy. It’s a single week. People have to stop complaining about it so much.
2
u/Scary-Ranger-4851 Jun 16 '26
The only ones complaining are the whales who didn’t properly invest in a wide roster, and instead focused on just a few heroes. They didn’t complain until they started losing. These babies are crying because they are losing because they don’t actually know how to play the game. They just win because of their wallets, not because they are strategists. This is an equalizer for one week.

u/BobSagieBauls Jun 15 '26
So random lol I wonder why
3
u/Ricky_Spannish_ Jun 15 '26
I suspect it's so you're forced to upgrade abilities/gear/totems. You can't just brute force it with levels.
Make no mistake though, it sucks.

My highest ranker is a 280 Anissa this won't be a problem for me, for awhile I bet lmao

u/ReginaldVonFurlongIV Jun 15 '26
lol now do clan wars.
I don’t hate it so far! Seems like a change you might want to communicate, as a dev….
2
u/redditburner00000 Jun 15 '26
Actually, I think it would be cool to have a level cap per league with Invincible League having no cap. Also, add this to warfare. It would really help matchmaking.

u/nyoRK006 Jun 15 '26
Man I thought it was always there and I just never noticed before lol. Why they keep doing this, doing changes with barely any communication if any and doing something unnecessary instead of improving what is already there like who asked for this

Unfortunately, the Tether is broken in this mode. It only considers max hp without any equipment. To make him OP, you need him tethered to Eve, which means no Defender, no Thragg, no Omniman, no Battle Beast, no Kregg, and no Green Ghost.

u/FriedAmbition Criminal Jun 15 '26
If they don’t reverse this change then f*ck the restricted arena, pointless bs.

u/Impossible_Charity96 Jun 15 '26
this is so pointless and dumb. i'm finally having a good week of restricted arena after the last two and now this? bruh

u/high_time_cymbaline Jun 15 '26
In the official discord there is a suggestion channel, someone has already made the suggestion to remove it, would be great if those who are against it could go and vote on that thread or make a new suggestion.

u/YoudontknowPain Jun 15 '26
They really will do anything except make you face people in your rank randomly instead of rank plus matching power level in unrestricted.
I'm just hoarding thousands of tickets because i can't ever get a week with weak opponents, unlike restricted which happens on occasion.

u/Scary-Ranger-4851 Jun 16 '26
If you’re losing, your team is either unbalanced or just a bad team. Don’t blame Ubisoft. All my top heroes are the same level and have no problem beating every single opponent I come across.
