Some Feedback on My Way Out
I want to start off by saying that I am deleting MTGA off of both my mobile phone and my computer. I am a strict limited player and there becomes a point-in-time where the game moves from being a fun way to burn time to something that is an active waste of time.
I however, don't want to leave without offering my feedback because at the end of the day I think that MTG is a great game and there is something here for limited players when it comes to Arena but in its current form it is just not it for me and with certain changes I could easily come back to the client again.
1: The Bo1 Format Has Got to Be Overhauled
Getting kicked out after 3 losses is some of the worse feel bads I have ever had in a game and this is coming from someone who is a sub-par League of Legends Player. I would rather get flamed in LoL chat then jump in another Bo1 Que. Being on the draw in Bo1 feels like a death sentence. The format needs to either weight Draw vs. Play losses differently or weight rewards based on overall record after X amount of rounds. Personally I would prefer the later because I want to play at least 7 games to see if my deck was built incorrectly or if it was just variance.
2: Change the Reward System to Favor the Player
Look. I get it. As a company you have bills to pay. However, the reward system is unbelievably disheartening. Having to go 3-0 in Bo3 to Draft or 6 wins to break even is so rough that you are left with a feeling of relief that you made it to breaking even and not a sense of accomplishment.
3: Let us dust cards for limited entries
I don't like playing constructed formats. I find them boring. One of the appeals of draft is even if I don't perform well in paper I can trade in my deck for a portion of the draft at my LGS if I get some lucky pulls. In arena that isn't the case. Combine the abysmal experiences mentioned above I am paying for something that I can't get any equity back in. Arena is already expensive as is so adding to the cost is not doing anything to help things.
Anyway, as I bid my farewell to arena i hope that someone reads this and shares in my pain.

I like playing mtg arena ,I started just over 6 months ago but I have noticed lots of problems with the game , also how old is this game ? there seems to be little to no updates or expansions to the game ,example .... no commander ! how hard is it to add a feature to play more than one person ! no friends or friends list , rip off prices on the market, this game would be out of date back in 2001 but hear we are in 2024 , its so disappointing to see a game that could be so much better. The potential is there but omg its run so bad . and then there's the randomness of card draw ? totally not random in the least, in fact I think it would be harder to make it this way , honestly I'm not the type of person to leave a message like this and I'm doing so in the hope that you can make it better if not give it to a company that can because its just so badly run. I'd like to know if anyone at this company plays the game ?? highly doubtful
