LoL Arena mode can be quite hard to win due to the strengths of some champions, but there's almost always a way to win anyway.
Arena mode is back and better than ever! With a lot of new augments, there are a few more viable builds and strategies. But on social media, all the players do is complain. Why?
League of Legends Players Complain About Arena
Reddit user u/Noobexe1 has made a funny post on the League of Legends Subreddit. While the post looks and reads like a troll post, it raises some serious concerns about the arena community and its mindset.
The issue with Arena: I am not nearly as good as I think I am.

He shows off the league communities inability to be able to adapt. Of course the mode is mainly for fun and people pick their favorite champions and look for augments that seem fun to them. Sadly, those don't always give them the best choice of winning.
On Reddit, you can see quite a few players complaining about specific champions or augments. The most hated are, as per usual, tanks, and some bruisers like Jax and Fiora. And while it can be really annoying to lose to tanks as it is really not a lot of interaction, they are actually relatively easy to beat.
Especially Arena specific items can be a huge game saver versus tanks as some of them have insane mixed damage. Huge amounts of players think that healing is the issue and build Morellonomicon second instead of getting any actually meaningful damage.
Reddit user u/imjustlurkinghavefun has made a short complaining post about this.
are people not tired of banning and picking 7-8 Tanks every single game in Arena

But the comments were really supportive. Most people just stated that other champions such as Kayn, Trundle and Gwen are far more oppressive and harder to beat. Especially trundle and Gwen are huge tank counters already due to their kit.
In short: Skill issue. Play other champions and itemize better, and you will find loads more success in arena. Always remember the mode is for fun. You don't have to win every game, and even rioters have stated that sometimes you cannot win against opponents that are high rolling augments. Just try to have a good time.
