- How to win an Arena game?
- What is the current meta and why it exist?
- Explore possibilities of some new meta

In competitive Arena, i was surprised to see teams letting minions get inside their base..nobody defending..players roaming around like noobs, not even jungling. In case, a team has Ao Kuang, its only his duty to clear minions..why? The best thing to earn gold is clearing waves also you are not going to get multiple early kills anyways.

Also, there is a sort of meta in place: hunter, assasin/warrior, mage, mage, warrior/tank. Can there be other balanced combinations.

As there are no structures involved in Arena and a constant trickle of gold is there, how to approach a game to have a win-win situation? Last 100 tickets are the most fun part of Arena, games can quickly turn on their heads.

I personally love. And have great success when my team does Athena, Gaun, xbal, me as Ao, and usually a chang'e. It's super divebomb engage. Xbal > Gaun > Athena all ult in that order. xbal to cuase confusion. Gaun ults in towards their carries, while Athena ults Gaun. Ao/Chang'e follow up for the kills, and another group stun.

Pretty much you just need a balanced team, Gods with abilities that work well together, and good coordination on engage. That's Arena.

- How to win an Arena game?
If you really want to win, play with friends. Communication is key in Arena games. Its all about matching skills with other skills. If you have no friends, Learn the VGS commands and type to your teammates if necessary. What can you do to help your Arena play is to realise your role in an Arena match, there are initiators(CC gods), wave clears(DoT gods or gods with AOE skills that can clear), burst damagers(mages and hunters(late game only)), pokers(mages and hunters), 1v1(bruiser or jungler), tanks(tanks) and healers. Remember to have a balance of all these roles, pick gods to fulfil these roles. Sometimes a combination of two gods or more can form a role. For example, with a tyr and a artemis, tyr is a 1v1 and initiator god while artemis is a poke and burst damage(late game) god. A combination of the two also forms a clear god, where tyrs 1 and arts 3 can be co-ordinated to clear waves quickly.
- What is the current meta and why it exist?
So far the current meta is similar to conquest except that there is more emphasis on mages. It's mage, mage, tank, initiator and adc or mage, mage, mage, tank, adc. Adc and tank in this are deemed as important roles. Some people use assassins instead of a initiator to make the games 5v4 and gain advantage for jungle camps.
- Explore possibilities of some new meta
I think that adc isn't as essential because the adc only comes into use late game. I think that a 1v1 initiator CC bruiser, initiator CC tank guardian, burst mage, burst clear mage, burst clear mage is a good team. Give you over all damage and good combination plays.
