ArenaLabs
If you have ever walked out of an arena and wondered why that one matchup keeps going badly, ArenaLabs has the answer. It is an addon that records every rated arena you play and then lets you interrogate that history from inside the game. No spreadsheets, no alt-tabbing to a website, no guessing. The numbers come from your own matches, stored locally, and they stay there.
What ArenaLabs Actually Records
The addon writes a record of each match the moment the end-of-match scoreboard appears. That detail matters: if you leave the instance early, there is nothing to read. Stay until the board shows and the data lands in your history automatically.
From there, ArenaLabs slices your season in several ways:
- Overview — your season record, win rate and current rating, read live from the game itself, so even games played before you installed the addon are counted correctly. Average DPS, average HPS and deaths come from matches ArenaLabs watched.
- Matches — full history, newest first, with both team comps, the map, duration, rating change and your team's matchmaking value. Click any match for the complete scoreboard.
- Enemy comps — win rate, record and average DPS against every comp you have faced.
- Your comps — the same breakdown grouped by what you brought to the fight.
- Maps — per-arena statistics, so you can see where you actually perform.
- My teams — history grouped by the players you queued with rather than by specialization. Two different Balance Druids are two different teams, and ArenaLabs keeps them separate.
- Rating thresholds — limit any table to games played at 1800+, 2100+ or 2400+ matchmaking value, so a comp you beat at low rating does not flatter your numbers at high rating.
- Solo Shuffle — filed as one entry per round, each with its own three-player split and result, because the six players are reshuffled between rounds.
Scouting Before the Gates Open
The overlay
While you are stood behind the gates, ArenaLabs reads the enemy specialisations and shows your record against that exact comp, your average damage against it, how often you died, and your record on that particular map. It disappears the moment the doors open, and you can drag it wherever you want on screen.
Player tooltips and shared diminishing returns
Hover anyone you have played before and their tooltip gains your history with them: games played, your record against them, your record alongside them, and the rating they were last seen at. That comes from your own recorded matches, so nothing goes stale. When you are grouped, the overview also lists the DR categories more than one of you can contribute to, which makes it obvious when your comp has three stuns landing on the same diminishing return.
Versions and Compatibility
ArenaLabs supports the current Retail client and the classic progression lines — Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria — so whether you are pushing rating on live servers or reliving an older bracket, the same history tracking applies. It works for every class and specialization; nothing is hardcoded to one spec. If you are setting up a fresh client, the foxygame.net launcher keeps ArenaLabs current automatically, so you never have to re-download a new build by hand after a patch.
How to Install ArenaLabs
The process is the same as any other addon. Download ArenaLabs, unzip the folder, and drop it into your World of Warcraft installation under Interface/AddOns. Make sure the folder name matches exactly, then restart the client or reload your UI. If you would rather skip the manual steps, the foxygame.net launcher lists ArenaLabs in its addon catalog and installs it in one click, handling version compatibility for whichever client you play.
Once inside, type /alabs to open the window, or click the minimap button. /alabs help lists every command. /alabs scope switches between this character and season or everything, /alabs scout toggles the gate overlay, /alabs tooltip toggles player tooltips, and /alabs cleanup removes empty records left by earlier versions. Everything toggleable is also behind the gear button in the top right of the window, so none of it has to be memorised.
Storage and Privacy
All data is stored locally in your own SavedVariables file and never leaves your computer. Nothing is uploaded and the addon makes no network requests. History persists across sessions and seasons until you choose to clear it.
The Bottom Line
ArenaLabs turns a pile of arena games into something you can actually learn from. Every table sorts by games, record, win rate, average DPS or deaths, and rows are tinted by win rate so a bad matchup is visible without reading a single number. If you queue rated arenas regularly, this is one of the most useful history tools you can add to your interface.
