Enough Revan
CG bring on the new meta already. This whole mirror matching of Revan is boring. You made him far too OP, keep making any viable counter useless with “fixes” and refuse to admit that again you didn’t properly test or plan Revan out. Just do everyone a favor and please stop forcing paywall characters without testing them. Even the whales and krakens are probably sick of facing Revan over and over

It's bad that almost the whole meta is one character, but it's a temporary problem that will be solved by them applying the superior design philosophy behind Revan to all other triple zetas. And yes, squads with great synergy and triple zeta leads should be 100% of the meta, it should just be a mix of multiple TZ leads, not all one.
So what you are saying is that your problem isn't with the meta being dominated by a single character, it's with the meta being dominated by Old Republic characters, even if there are more than one? So it's not really about balance at all, but just about dislike for a particular part of Star Wars?

Rebels need a rework to have better synergy with CLS? Resistance need a rework to have better synergy with JTR? I'm not sure we've been playing the same game. Those were also much better designed characters imo, specifically because they have the right amount of synergy. They work very well and are among the most powerful teams in the game, but they don't dominate everything in sight. I really really hope they do not apply the "superior design philosophy" (lol, not) behind Revan to future toons/reworks.
Most of the CLS and JTR teams I have seen can be easily beaten by a Palpatine team at an equivalent GP, or even at a 10-20k deficit for the Palp team with good RNG. Squads without a triple zeta lead should not have the capacity to consistently beat properly put together squads with a triple zeta lead.
Prerework palp didn't stand a chance
Jolee is a massive annoyance, but the whole team is a problem. Only bastila that sucks
Maybe they did and I’m wrong.
That's what makes the CLS team well-balanced, imo. It beats pretty much everything on offense, but is rather easy to dismantle on defense, so there's a trade-off between easy climb and bad defense. Revan team has no such flaw, it just excels at every aspect imaginable, which is imo a bad design. There are only two ways out, and neither is particularly good for the health of the game: either release something even worse, driving the power creep up to 11, or give the next meta such over-the-top anti-Jedi bonuses that Jedi teams don't see arena viability ever again.
Before Revan flood, when you faced a strong team (in GA, TW etc.), maybe you didn't beat it on first try, but with a few teams more you did break through finally and could move on.
This "grinding" approach doesn't work with Revan teams, and only on those it doesn't work.
Before you where able to take out every team, throwing enough teams at it, without the need to have 1 specific team.
I'm wondering with what CG will come up to change things and push up the fun factor again, because the Revan flood took away a lot of fun to be honest.
We’ve never seen such a dominating team without a true 100% hard counter since this game was released.
I just hope the next meta isn’t as annoying to face.
Or 3. Nerf revan teams, amazing for the health of the game, probably even popular at this point.
It will be popular amongst the top since the next meta will be out next week and then the whales or hardcore f2p farmers will not have a counter to their teams.
True, at this point Darth Revans kit is probably made and so OP that nerfing revan will leave DR as the new JKR
I'll say that. Im over Old republic... Id rather ugnaught be meta at this point.
But he’s actually SO op it’s ridiculous. It breaks the game pal
Power creep. Being the best team in the game by miles. Ridiculous abilities. Everyone knows revan ruined this game by now, it’s no secret. I made a post about it that got modded into the bin, my full reasoning of how ridiculous the team is is there
Because people have been claiming he is coming next week for the last 6 weeks and CG has given zero indication he is coming at all.....I've said all along he isnt coming at least anytime soon and it's looking more and more likely I'm right
Not really, 3/21 has been one of the debated dates for quite a while, especially since the calendar is out, and we do have some indication from CG as well, just no direct confirmation. Like Carrie ending the GG rework rundown with something about meatbags (= hint at HK-47), HK coming out of the Hawk and saying that he's ready to serve his master, plus the Gam Guard leak, though that one was probably unintentional (though it was in official footage, so who knows).
But if he doesn't drop next week, you are probably right.
