Selective Memory.
I've been playing for about a year and a half. In that time, I've seen the bishops dominate, and the bishops in the hole, the knights dominate, and the knights in the hole, the rooks dominate, and the rooks in the hole.
Arena numbers seem to be based more on a teams momentary success than on which team it is. Lose your HQ? Expect to lost a lot of players. Down to 3 bases? Of course you're outnumbered 3 to 1 now. On a rampage taking another countries bases? Expect your numbers to go up.
Numbers follow success, not the other way around. During prime time without a reset imminent no team has few enough players for this to not be true.
