Arena list only has 3 to choose from

[Issaquah]

Anyone else seeing their list in the arena limited to 3? It's adding a new level of challenge.

it is always 3 choices or only sometimes? I would be amazed if this was your first time seeing this

The arena list frequently goes into a state where it doesn't replace the person you fight, so the number of choices keeps dropping until it gets down to 3. Then, when you fight one, it replaces that one... but now, each time you refresh the window (by closing/opening, or looking at leaderboard, or opening the armor screen, etc.) it randomly replaces that last one. So you can keep refreshing until you get an opponent you want to fight. If you wait long enough, it will start adding opponents back in one at a time, reversing this sequence.

People used to use this to farm a 45-point opponent; that's how they'd get those huge double down numbers. Now that we no longer get extra points for fighting higher level opponents it's less useful.

I originally thought that this was a bug, but the behavior is so complex it almost has to have been deliberately programmed that way -- perhaps as a reward for those who buy energy and so can do more than 5 fights in a row?
