Arena Diversity... There is none...
The Arena is literal insanity. Beating the same team over and over.
Every team is:
Ben/Dooku/Phasma
3 of Rey/GS/QGJ/Leia
RG
There is no diversity at all. The empire toons are so weak they aren't viable. Same with Nightsisters, Ewoks, Droids(Tried to make a run but couldn't cut it).
Two of the most used Characters in the arena are Genosian Soldier? and Royal Gaurd?
Well and Rey/Leia.
The RG mechanic has broken the arena. Now you have to have one to hold any sort of position as 90% or more of players have him. So the Arena revolves around having RG or dealing with RG.
Interjecting a few Premium characters only helps a select few. I for example don't mind paying some money to play this game, I can't invest $100's just to unlock one new character. I would however drop $20 to max one.
You need to fix the RG overuse to promote some variance in the Arena.

Be patient. The new meta will arrive fairly soon.
Not with Anakin. I just raised his basic to omega and he has a 70% buff immunity. Now, I hit RG in the first round and I am free to attack Rey to my heart's content. And, in the event Anakin doesn't land it, QGJ is there as a backup. Now, I can (usually) attack two DPS characters before having to tackle RG. And, on a related note, I can't tell you how satisfying it is to land a buff immunity on STH, watch him taunt and wave, and then nothing happens.
Gotta love Anakin.
so even if you are constantly fighting the same people, each fight has the potential to be different
for instance if say the clone sergeant brought a sniper rifle instead of a minigun he could do more critical damage but lose the AoE attack and other things like that
obviously this would take some work to get right but it would definitely make arena battles more interesting as having different skills could make currently unusable characters somewhat viable
"Practically unbeatable" is a bit of a stretch, there are quite a few strategies that can easily get rid of Rey or any character hiding behind a Royal Guard. I will agree that the dodge mechanic needs some developer love (mostly just so we get some arena diversity), but then everyone who spent ages grinding Obi and Dooku will have something to whine about. Considering they are more prominent, just remember EA in general believes money > quality/balance.
Thought Rey hit hard before? Just wait till they start maxing her dmg and speed, probably boosted Tenacity to help avoid debuffs too. Now she'll be hiding behind 100k HP/Prot RG's and dish out 2x her damage. 1 shot? Nah, 1/2 shot more like it.
Arena team of the future. RG fully modded, Rey fully modded, Who really cares, because it doesn't matter, you are already dead.
It's just pathetic. This game was great when it started. Lots of characters to work towards and reasonably well balanced. But now with the utterly ridiculous dodge, the 100% counter attack cheats and mods, why bother?
Welcome to capitalism buddy.
