Now i remember why i hate challenger arena, especially once you reach summoner.

Not due to the opponent going first and wiping you out at random moments, not even the ridiculous proc rates for bb attacks (which I am convinced are actually lower than normal arena seeing as they nearly never activate - and yes I know my types and optimal positions and still get screwed often in challenger).

It's simply due to the stupidity of the the AI combined with ridiculous favoritism for the opponent: never quite finishing off enemy units (especially painful when dealing with a hadaron lead or a quaid), opponent systematically going after lead units and mitigators, your units focusing on the one guy who is nearly already dead (or worse wasting bb attacks on him when he is alone) but never actually focusing at the begining of the fight attacking all over the place and killing nobody (which normaly wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for the supposed nerfing), the supposed nerfing which leads to any one single aoe bb attack not being able to onshot your oppoenents yet their' 's can oneshot you and last but not least the impossible opponent alignment which can, and in my case has, given me five hadaron leads with full sbs squad with no brave burst conditions in a row or pain in the ass combinations such as empty bb followed by no bb followed by empty bb again, you get the gist.

And the enemy AI? Nearly never stupid but when he is stupid it's in the low ranks where it really doesn't matter. So in the end by pure attrition you watch your units fall one by one due to AI stupidity (or all at once when to enemy first strike which while fustrating is not nearly as infuriating).
