Plat Arena behaving oddly

[RavingRabbid]

Oh boy:

• New decks spawn at about rank 80
• Plat reward went down by more than 10 electrum in a matter of hours. It generally goes much more slowly
• Most new decks have negative rating. This usually does not happens. There are just a handful of 0 day decks above 0 rating.
• Nothing of this is seemingly happening in other arenas

All normal here (can't say anything about the reward, as I don't know how much it was).

Just submitted a deck, insta rank 64

Earlier today I checked my deck to see how it was doing and then an hour later I saw that it had been challenged over 10x... Quite odd for Plat...

Seems legit

Seems legit

Wut wut, pretty sure that 1 loss on Rihards_LV was me XD

other arenas are normal, plat is totally screwed atm and talking about this in the kong chat, other players get some strange losses (like 4 or 5 in one hour, something similar to what happened to bripod in this thread)

today i got 3 loss in an hour (i was 12-0), i changed the deck, using a dark pendulum and going for a super original monodarkness: i go 3-4 in a hour (WHAT CAN BEAT 4 TIMES A FULLY UPPED MONODARK WITH 200 HP??), change to free daggers, got another loss in no time.

If all these reports of losses are true then it is likely to be someone using a cheat, but it would probably be hard to spot who it is.

Yeah, I noticed this for the last week to week and a half or so.  I mentioned in my arena thread that my last deck seemed to have extremely strange ratings gains/losses.   My deck lasted way longer than it should have, because it was not losing much rating on a loss.  Looking at that screenshot, 162 for 1st and 83 for second is... extremely low.  The deck I have up now is 9-9 in plat (normally impossible), has rating -273 (I think normally you're out of top 500 by -200 roughly) and it's still at rank 329.  Every once in awhile this sort of thing seems to happen; perhaps some hacker is doing something to make plat really easy to farm, like setting opponent's hp to 1 every game and then running a bot to farm.

Yeah, my 200 HP ghostmare went something like 1-4 in the first few hours it was posted, so something weird is going on. Maybe Zanz will notice.

I suddenly got 8 losses straight. I'm sure my deck couldn't be that bad to get 8 straight losses normally. We can only hope for the perpetrator to trigger the anti-cheat thing.

I have a purify/SoP spammer up in Plat and it is 3-4, usually not the result when a Plat sub spams purify/SoP...
