Since I don't think glu has commented on this, the most common user belief is that arena players are intentionally choosing servers where they have high pings or increasing bandwidth usage on their wifi/device to slow the connection to glu artificially.
For some strange reason, glu's code gives these people an extremely high advantage in arena fights. They can hit you, you cannot (or can only rarely) hit them, i.e. your attacks go straight through them. These are the people I refer to as 'laggers'. Glu, please investigate... quickly. Let us know what's going on here, it really really sucks from our end.
Last season, I had 37 fights against laggers in 162 fights (23%), most of which were losses since they can rarely be hit. This season in 25 fights, I'm already up to 11 laggers (44%). The problem is predictably getting worse since nothing in the game has changed to counter it.
Anyone else seeing a large increase in these types of fights?

The last was just added, so, I'm up to 12 lagger fights this season. I've also found myself back at Rank 9, 1 Star after 26 fights. *sigh*

Im stuck at rank 9 and I'm seriously considering using my hit and run monk, since my warriors attacks just cant seem to connect.
I see my sword fly through the opponent and i just have to slap myself.
If people start posting their experiences, we might be able to tease out what is going on here.
This season is a lot worse than the last, so I think whatever is being done, word has spread.

Ironically, I was going to ask my parents to give me money to buy some stuff in this game for my birthday which was a little while back. But after Glu introduced PvP and the pay to win PvP gear, I lost interest. It ****es me off and drove me away from the game, which is why I downloaded League. And that game's PvP is a lot better than EW3's PvP. Other than the fact that I suck at LoL, there's no problems with it.
So I'm going to spend my money elsewhere, lol.
Yes, I have experienced this too with my mage. You hit the skill buttons and nothing happens. Or a warrior will parry and you get frozen in place. I lost quite a few matches cause I was stuck or couldn't get out of the way.
Now taking suggestions by PM of solid playable games, no gree, no glu... and preferably a newer release.

my understanding with this is the people have a second device and call the phone they are using. if you get a phone call fit does some kind of disconnect and they do not take damage. This really ****es me off and happens a lot. on IOS worrior141 plays this way and has done it the three times I matched up against him. I try to get a few hits in but he lags and gets a lucky dash in then goes immobile.
If there's any bright side, I got a phone call today in the middle of a very close fight with coleli. I rejected the call and tried to return to the fight thinking I'd have taken a few lumps, but instead got a 'connection lost' message and lost the fight.
Hope this means that type of cheat no longer works, but if you saw it within the last day or so, there must still be a hole in the code.

Which server do you play on, Brutal? I play on the Asian servers and I can confirm that krit13 and whocare tend to lag like ****. If you play on some other server.. At least we'll know for a fact that these guys keep hopping servers to lag and win fights.
I'm playing League. You know, cuz I hate MOBA's on a tiny screen.
