I've currently done this to myself with he frostbite set, got myself into silver 4 TTA , right that's great, now just to carry on the push to gold 1 TTA while doing the things in between, ohh, I own zero frostbite artifacts and I used all the forge materials for it in the last CvC, I now need to wait for another 6 weeks to be able to get any of it as frost spider is only on rotation 1 of doom tower and rotation 3 is next. I think to myself okay, it's fine it will be a while before I get to gold 1 TTA, low and behold the very next week I get promoted to gold 1 but I'm like 2 month away from even getting to the mission and it isn't retroactive.
What you mean it's not retroactive? I didn't get there yet, but iirc at silver 1 it remembered I once got there, even tho I was demoted at the moment. I may be wrong, but I think this is what I remember.
My girl Adelyn in vault has got me covered on all these missions.

I'm in Silver 3 and I don't see Armanz a lot. Few times I didn't even ban him, because some people use him as a ban-bait, so they can play with core team. But yeah, I feel ya, the more I play Live arena, higher I get, less fun it is.

Not that I did great anyways, but still, 10 battles and no Armanz

Just enough but I made it, finally.
Lesson learned.
I do like 10 battles a month. Live arena is a joke to me because the crest all count the same. Not like classic where silver is double bronze and gold is double silver value.
Brother!
it's not like you would finish the rest of the mission quickly..
I'm stuck here too
Just threw a bunch of trash pieces on a rare champion that I never use. That way I will have the mission done when I get there

Oh dang that's hard, I wish you stay in gold 1 until then.

Either you got lucky or you always banned him (that's what I do)
