I'd agree, even though they used to have it were you'd go down ranks, I've heard people getting really low, and honestly, it's just hope crushing when all your opponents have overpowered teams, and you can't counter then, due to it always being random, all that I'm gonna say is that it's really..."Motivating" for those who haven't reached 6 paths, or are reaaally low.

Hey

I believe negative points are necessary as they do affect the next season's placements.
However, I do believe a safety net should be included so players don't experience a massive losing streak.
Although I'm in the camp of players needing to understand when teams need change, the good oi saying "If the plan doesn’t work, change the plan but never the goal."

It's a ladder and a rewarding one at that.

That whole "changing teams til you find the right one" thing doesn't really work in this situation considering the opponents are always random... I mean sure, you'll mostly encounter that BS AF-Mabui-GNW Tenten-Mei team (since that's all ANYONE seems to use!), but not all the time. So changing teams isn't really going to work unless you're going up against the same opponent/team from before.
I believe half of the players in my server gave up doing arena because of the negative points thing... So unless the creators of this game are fine with just pretty much the high-powered servers only doing arena and not any of the newer ones, the negative points need to be removed. It makes no sense to have them in the first place since there is no number below 0!

Yeah, gonna agree with Dremora on this.
Changing the team doesn't always fix the issue unless you fight the same person/team every time.
It's either SB, Naruto, Ao, and Mei or AF, Mabui, Tenten GNW, and Mei that usually floor stomp arena right now. Course the few exceptions with those CF, Kyuubi Naruto, Gaara, and Killer Bee teams as well.

So there isn't really a "plan" you can adjust to counter any of these teams and that's only listing 3 teams.
There are much more, but only rather take the time to list these 3 as they are the most commonly seen when I do arena.

at least remove point loosing from thoose players who never reached sennin rank

That's a bit extreme

I would suggest that at the end of each reason, reset their point to whatever point is required to reach their current rank, so that they don't have to stay in a bottomless pit forever, just for the season at worst.

why? is not so just now?
don't tell me that on a new season you keep the negative/positive points if you didn't reach sage of the six paths rank because if is so then the system is totally rotten

only for thoose who NEVER reached sennin rank..who always gets the minimum rewards

I won't know, I'm six path on s1
But given that their rank don't reset, I expect their points to not reset as well, since there is no trigger to cause it to reset.

Because I don't want two players to alternatively give win to each other.
It is possible even with Xserver, for two player whose rank and level are really similar, they just need to find a time at which arena activity is fairly low and they will be matched up MOST of the time. And if they never lose point, even if they get caught in a fight with another player, they will lose nothing.

Currently two players can give point by each other via win streak (lose 3 gain 4 if it goes by 3s etc), but that's far harder to execute and subject to interrupt from other players, so it's far less of a concern.

They should have an easier time, but not so much so that it can be abused and cheated off of.

You keep your negative points. I have a bunch of reds there, actually I think you can keep ac*ulating them endlessly forever and ever. I mean I guess I'll update if I find they have a cap on negatives.

I'm 26 (-12) or arena for like 2 months, you guess it's funny to make arena 4 me? Soon i'll start fighting people with 0 points, because of bs matching and "climb" system.
