In bot only lobbies I frequently run into a situation where I have a large health difference with a bot, and I Know I'm going to win, but there will still be like five whole rounds of the bot throwing itself against the brick wall of my completed party with no effect until I've 'officially' won

I propose that if

The only players in the lobby are one human player and one bot

and

The bot's health is Significantly lower than the player's (something like 30-50 hp behind. When you know they're not going to recover at this point)

(and if you really want to make sure, I guess an additional condition of the player having a full team of three star companions but I'm not sure if that's necessary)

The bot would concede

Why? There isn't exactly gameplay happening at this point, you are just waiting for the bot to die, so going ahead and giving the human player their rewards already may reduce player frustration by a decent bit.

A human player of course is capable of complex thought and turning the battle around in those five or so turns, so that wouldn't be necessary there, but a bot can't really do that anyway (and if they luck out last round and do it's only really annoying rng vs actually being bested in a challenge) so I feel like this would be a nice QoL fix for the arena!

no support on this because as it is, Ive had the 'smart' bots come back around and completely annihilate me in arena (even when they were 30-50hp behind me) - there however are similar suggestions about being able to skip over the waiting periods though which would be reasonable as they would also work with human players if both players clicked start before the minute was up

part of the thing with arena IS the cooldown time between rounds, basically it could cause an unfair advantage by allowing players in bot matchups to complete more games due to less cooldown (also this seems like a lot of extra coding for a very specific scenario that i dont feel happens too often in my experience?)

I support this because Arena is tedious, and there’s no reason to have an arena round last 40 bouts.
