Along with the current frustrations to this game...R2 D2 and Resistance is just over-powered.
Even teams with 60-70 speed set mods have a chance at defending vs 80-90+ base speed mods on other team squads with "synergy".
Once exposes are landed (and rarely/never avoided) the Resistance team's attacks become an "infinite loop" and your team just sits there.
I'm quite fed up with this mechanic and along with everything else the way the game has been going (Phoenix to unlock Thrawn, etc), taking 1+ month to deal with obvious hackers on arena shard, this isn't looking good for you guys @CG_Kozispoon @EA_Jesse , etc.
Make note of this. I speak in a volume of at least 20 or more here where we congregate and discuss these elements of the game.
I don't really see myself or the others lasting on this game. So I am not sure what your next strategy will be.
I'd appreciate if someone can communicate with me here or privately and actually be the face of accountability to the mass unhappiness in multitudes here.
I am sure that most reading this will agree also.

    I'm very glad to have Resistance teams with R2 at the top of my arena. It's nice having teams I can beat on auto.

    That evil, evil synergy. People ought to be able to just throw anything onto their teams and easily win regardless of how well the toons they choose work together. /end sarcasm

    I run Resistance... They're fun to run. But they're certainly not unbeatable, as I do still have to fight a few battles each day to re-take first place. B)

    I agree with OP, just one fast Poe is enough for Res. team to crush the opponent. That insane TM manipulation needs to be addressed. Res. Trooper is really annoying with huge dmg and multiple exposes, using special attacks every turn (Finn zeta decreasing cooldowns) does not go well with game mechanics.

    If your lossing to resistance teams I suggest you work on your team, AI uses resistance horribly you shouldn't have a problem beating them if your team has decent synergy and has equal gear/mods

    I was trying to think of something witty but all I got is IT IS ONLY A GAME DUH. Shut up, grow up, and play the game man. Come on!

    Keep it up devs! I'm out...gonna go have some fun with my new phoenix squad :)

    Is this a letter to the board?
    Although your concerns will likely be noted, you and a thousand or so friends leaving the game tomorrow will not affect anything. Every disgruntled player believes that they are the final piece of the puzzle for the game's ultimate success, but they are not, whether or not your concerns are valid. I am not agreeing or disagreeing with your grim outlook, simply stating the facts. Often these types of concerns are irrelevant if the majority of people do not express the same or speak differently with their wallets.

    Now as far as Resistance, just kill Poe first. If you notice around the forums, resistance team is not a hot topic.

    resistance is very powerful on attack yes. But on defence the AI makes terrible decisions
  • Options
    Yeah I usually go after Poe, but he is tanky and the exposes begin and then they just keep attacking...
  • Options
    Yep they're super OP! Love them. Once I get a super fast Thrawn and Poe. GAME OVER!! B)
  • Options
    I will say that team is the only team that has beat me on more than 1 occasion without taking a turn. Very frustrating

    They're not OP if you run droids :tongue:

    I'll take care of that. I disagree with the OP. His concern is not valid.

    https://swgoh.gg/meta-report/100/

    Here is the meta report for arena squads in the top 100. As a percentage Resistance teams are in the single digits. They are fun for GW, and the tank raid, but severely underperform in arena defensively. Try asking how to beat them instead of assuming it can't be done, and making grand, sweeping assertions about a mass exodus.

    I don't agree

    20 or more isn't very many

    You seem to be quitting anyway

    Resistance is horrendous in defense in arena

    Ok, our 273 speed SA Zaul user has trouble with it on offense...so maybe your squad has 300+ speed each toon then? Please, teach me your ways.

    @Osik yeah it seems like tenacity is the only way...unfortunately Zavage doesn't cut it with his soft-cleanse.

    I do respect myself, how is this lack of self-respect? People aren't entitled to giving feedback/opinions to improve game functions and have stimulating game discussion?

    Please keep it on topic :)

    Zaul and Rex are very good counter teams. You can't get Poe to go first against Zaul. Against Rex, he gains turn meter every time you crit him. On defense the AI doesn't target exposed toons, so I would disagree with you.

    Ummm.. I felt like this thread was heading in the wrong direction and needed a nudge towards it's intended purpose.

    Zaul is 191 speed so he'd go before Poe. I even force drain the entire squad. The thing is, once taunt+expose happens, it resets cooldows and a fast R2D2 (250+ speed) keeps casting over and over and the rest of the squad keeps attacking.

    If you're looking for balance, this is not the game you're looking for. Balance was thrown out the window a year ago.
