Arena result = who's Poe attacks first
Anyone finding this is more and more the case? With almost every team having Poe now, it is becoming more and more common for the match to be decided by the Poe that gets first attack.
I'm finding that the taunt isn't even the issue. Is the fact that the whole enemy team gets a turn before you action a single character. With First Order Tie Pilot, QGJ, Leya, IG86, GS etc all becoming more common team members, you quite often lose 2 or more members before being able to make a turn. Once it is 3v5 with the opposition on full health and you can only attack their Poe, it's over.
Vise Versa, if your Poe goes first, the battle is easy and bringing down 2 opponents before they receive a turn is run of the mill.
I think Poe's taunt is fine but I think the Poe turn meter reduction needs to go, what are people's thoughts?

Welcome to the forum.
I've found the number of exposures landed to be a more determinative factor in my matches.
For the record I'm level 67 and currently running Sid 7*, IG-88 7*, Kylo 7*, Poe 6*(will be 7 tomorrow), and Poggle 5*. All have close to max gear. And I'm regularly top 3 around reset on my leaderboard
Not always the case but generally yes...
Like it has been said by Blumpking... it also kinda depends very heavily on the expose factor and also how much general health your team has...
A lot of people run glass cannon teams... Leia, FOTP (non 7*), dooku, QGJ etc... and also low health characters e.g. Luminara and Sidious... if more than a couple of these are exposed by Poe, then you can be hit very hard... Also even if you don't have expose if Poe is supported by a lot of fast high damage hitters then the low health team won't last... You don't find many large health teams... in fact part of the reason there has been a semi revival of Barriss lead teams is cause she ups the health of the team and thus FOTP doesn't get his advantage as easily or Poe's expose is partially countered by the increased health...
Then there is also the QGJ factor... If he is well geared, you'll find he actually has a fairly decent but by no means a guaranteed counter to Poe... he'll debuff Poe's taunt 50% of the time.. and if this happens, it can mess up Poe's team mates because of the offense buff he gives (however this buff can be bugged and sometimes don't apply even upon removing poe's taunt). You can pretty much one shot a lot of the glass canon's protected by such a Poe.
The issue with bringing Barriss into the mix as explained earlier is she kinda mitigates the FOTP and other big hitters for a while who is often protect by Poe but her low damage and weak heal... pretty much means you slowed the opposition down and only improved your chance of survive slightly.
Game used to be fun when it wasn't a grind... if I wanted a grind I would have went and played old school Everquest or some Korean MMO!
