They could even create at least some semblance of balance by simply utilizing statistics, if they wanted to devote the resources.
They could keep a running, class based statistical analysis of 1v1 arena outcomes and give you bonus for winning statistically unfavorable matchups, and reduce your loss penalties when taking statistically unfavorable matches.
Wouldn't be perfect, obviously, but the deeper the analysis goes the more balanced the risk/reward will be.
Just a dream. One day an MMO that isn't dying/dead will implement the 1v1 Arena's I want, lol.
