One of the fun aspects of Arena is the diverse team building you can do!

But I noticed something weird. I've come across...4 of the referral companions in the Arena.
Well, it wouldn't be that much of an issue if they weren't exactly the same in all their abilities. But...they are the same ability/stat dog with a reskin.
Sure it might be a fun ploy to make a team of just the doggos, but it really eats into your available pool if you see a pup 1 you don't want in your team and then you have 4 more of these in the possible shop pool to clutter up space with the same exact stats and abilities.
Another frustrating thing is you pick one of the referral companions to level in your team comp, and then it keeps throwing at you a single recolour that's exactly the same in everything but its plumage :')

So my suggestion is to, just keep one of the referral dogs in the arena and remove the others.
Or, keep two, but give them different abilities. (This might rustle some players who already have a doggo that's hard to get and well embedded in their teams!)

Support! There should be a limit of 1 of the 5 in the pool of each game. Getting stuff to 3 stars is already hard enough some games and more clutter is gonna make it worse >.<

I believe this was reported as a bug just after the puppers got introduced. But in the case it was not an oversight but deliberate, definitely support for this!

Makes sense if it's just right there on the limit between being a bug and being an intended feature.

Either way, it's either a bug to be fixed or an issue with the game that needs fixing/refining.
Personally I don't mind recolours if they are different mechanically.

Hi there! As Gaia mentioned, this is a reported bug. I'll just go ahead and lock this thread as the Dev Team are aware of this issue. Thank you.
