Imagine an arena without GK/JTR/CLS

Loose_Lee

Imagination sadly is the only place it can exist...

But I'm so frustrated that I'm gonna post this.

Maybe instead of trying to release new hero's to balance gameplay y'all can circumvent it by making certain hero's unavailable to use in arena on certain days.

Just a thought... because I'm so sick of players being FORCED to use those heros.

GK is the singular issue.

These days have many Nightsisters teams, plus the Vader with double zeta with Wampa have place too, when CLS was released was him or Kenobi/Zarris, but now have more options

Empire under Thrawn lead was viable, i played empire succesfully for about 4 months.

The dev team have stated they are trying to spread the meta. They have been doing good, NS can hang. They reworked toons that everyone has to make some better options.

The goal should always be to have more options not less.

what would such an arena look like though? it's not like it was ever truly diverse, so taking away the "OP toons" won't all of a sudden result in diversity paradise.

Well for starters... it means you don't have to build every team around killing or fracturing GK.

It's better than it used to be. Think about when CLS came out, the arena was extremely limited. Way back most people used Dooku/OB with Daka. At least now the arena is more diverse. Every squad has a counter too which wasn't the case until recently. They are slowly coming along with fixing it. Could definitely be better but they're making a lot more progress.

Yes, but then it would be built around doing the same to baze or shore.

Removing some toons doesn't make things more diverse, it just brings out the next suitable substitute.

We need diversity not limitations, especially in arena.

Start by making the defense AI better. That will solve a lot of problems.

Maybe a little,but then more people will lose on offense and that will lead to more complaints (AI advantage). It's an ever ending slippery slope.

wouldn't that result in a more narrow meta? I believe it would, but i'm reasonably sure we will never find out since ea/cg likes us to get the joy of winning on offence.

Lost useless without thrawn, if you did not notice the actual meta is thrawn plus 4.

Agreed. It's a good mix now compared to the Zaul days or CLS days
