The AI should not be sandbagging

AI sandbagging is stupid and unfair.
Sometimes all 3 choices are sandbagged and you have no choice or pay for refreshes and hope for a normal team.
Fix this system.

If not, you should just blame the players for sandbagging, nothing Kabam can do if this is the team the player brings into the arena fight
Add up your team's power and you'll see they are very close in total power.
You need to pay attention to the strongest bot in the squad you choose to fight before confirming.
If the total team power doesn't divide equally across 3 bots based on the portrait of the bot shown in the selection screen, you're picking a sandbag team.
Want to combat it? Build teams based on the same logic. Two powerful bots and one chump.
It's not healthy for the game if it's encouraging or forcing people to sandbag. It's not the way it was intended.
I once encountered in arena an alliance member who was also interested in understanding the matching system and he advised he'd never used that combination of bots together in an arena team. He's a very meticulous top 50 player.
So I have my doubts about if they're player chosen teams or just put together from the bots on the players account.
It's also not the point.
The point is, it's not healthy balance for the game to have AI using sandbagged teams.
C'mon, Arena's already has the "easy after 15 streak" bliss. Why not complain that is a bug? For me I pay 5 or 10 energons per Arena to beat the 15 streak and hit all the milestone, I find it OK, even for a PBC you'll have to pay 100, whereas you have at least a PBC per Arena.
Just wanted to pop my head in and say thanks for sharing your thoughts on how arena teams are built!
We understand that sandbagged teams can be frustrating to deal with, and although we can't promise changes will be made, we do appreciate you all taking the time to share how you felt on the matter!
