Today on my way to 1st I fought:

1 AA
1 Dooku
1 Old Ben

and 2 Phasma lead teams. Also I love that some ppl use han and some rg (50/ 50). I mean okay rey and qgj are in 90% of the teams but well at least we have diversity.

Amazing job - keep it up :) three months ago all leads were qgj or dooku. And yes i made first on a dec shard - cba if ppl believe me or not just hate me :)

  • You can hop between evasion leaders pretty easily. Dooku or Old Ben leads are only in half of all teams.
    My name is cosmicturtle333, aka CT-333, aka Threes.
  • OP the fact that you're happy about seeing 4 leaders in the arena should tell CG they have a problem here. Admiral ackbar's rework was extremely well done, more toons need stuff like that done to them. And more toons need different leader abilities, like maybe Rey or Ahsoka who has a generic dodge. Also toons like fives who has a "clones get 30 defense all other toons get half" need better ones. As it stands right now. There are around 13 or less toons that pretty much make up the arena. All of them are usually led by Old Ben, Dooku, Admiral ackbar or phasma.. Not much diversity after that. You might see a han or luminara lead, those teams usually are pretty bad, or have no better lead ability to use.
  • Ohhh, I get it. He is being sarcastic. Haha
  • There's also this one guy on my server who uses Lando lead. Ahem.

    Less than half Dooku old Ben. This is the most diverse leaders the game has ever had.

    The Rey RG QG is the real lack of diversity in remainder of the team. Alternatives to RG and QG are needed

    Any leaders can beat any leaders. But 9/10 in top 20 will go for cookie cutter teams. It's nothing wrong with that.

    People fail to realize how hard it would be to make every leader ability in game as OP as ben or aa.

    There will always be the best team in games like this, period.

    Ignore Teebo leads at your own peril.
  • Yeah mine has Mainly Rex leads at top. Then Lando, Akbar, Phasma,Dooku, QGJ, Ol Ben, Han are all seem in my top 20. It has gotten much more diverse.

    Agreed though RG/Rey is on near all teams.

    That's just people who uploaded their info on swgoh.gg. On my server it's well over half CD and OB lead in the top 100. I can't go through 5 arena matches without fighting at least one of them since they're often the only options I have to gain enough rank. If anything I've seen an increase in dodge leads.

    Current meta has to stop. It's boring as hell and still a "hotfix" for the OHKO strat pre update, where protection should have fixed that already.
    It's super lazy but w/e, the devs aren't really brainiacs, considering all the bugs/flaws and super bad decisions.

    Arena is no fun and evasion leader teams are irritating, d-umb and lazy.
    Perhaps with 4 months of evasion led teams, it's time to boost other toons again instead of nerfing.

    Wishful thinking I know...

  • At least now teams have more diversity. A lot more toons became viable with the last update. You can't really take the top 20 in arena as an example. They will always have the best characters in the game no matter who you buff or nerf

    Shards follow themselves so their is less diversity per shard then in the whole game. If you don't visit the forum you are going to only see teams on your shard. So when copying best teams you copy the best rw you face.

    I'm on a Phasma shard where about 75% of the top 20 are her.

    I wish mine would switch to Phasma. I freakin jump on a Phasma team when I see it. It's like a red flag. "Look, you can hit us and win".

    Otherwise it's dodge, dodge, dodge.
  • Phasma was the original PvP lead. It used to be all Phasma, ALL the time. She's good. Always has been.

    I'm going to test a full Empire with either Vader or Tarkin lead this week, once I promote Stormtrooper, because, why not!

    This is exactly right. Although I am the only ackbar leader in the top 50 of my shard. Even though I hold on defense and beat all other teams with protection left on RG, I am surprised others are copying my team. that said, Rex, Dooku, Old Ben, Phasma, Ackbar are all legit leaders. Some teams would be good regardless of the leader. Leia, Rey, Aayla, RG + any of those leaders I mentioned would be competitive and top tier. I would like to see more diversity in the teams but leader diversity is decent.

    How is this any different then when we had Dooku, QGJ, Poggle, or Phasma leads?

    As for the current leads:
    Dooku is disappearing snice his nerf.
    AA is awesome, but those teams are actually easy to beat so this will not go far.
    OB1 and Rex are the primary leads out there and what I am seeing more and more of. If it continues, then there are actually less diverse leaders. What you are seeing is just a meta change from 1 group of leaders to a new one.

    Last I looked it was about 42% of leads where Evasion leaders (Old Ben or Dooku). If you look at the base mechanic, "Evasion", 42% is not diverse. Think about all of the characters in this game and 42% of all arena squads are represented by two of those characters, two.

    My server is all about Dooku and Phasma at least, few Old Ben and Lumi leads but definitely more Dooku leads than I care to see.
