I already know what many will say about the squad I run but I am a part of my shard group and had no issues climbing to 5 for a payout until exactly 3 days ago I can no longer beat the same full G12 JTR squads I could beat before. I highly doubt about a dozen squads upgraded mods or zetas in the same night. Have the devs implemented any AI or RNG changes that I am unaware of?

It mentions no ai changes but the timing is suspicious.
It's worth noting that you have scope to improve your team with the mods you have.
The square mod you have on Kenobi beats any of the square mods you have your team. Also protection circles are usually better than health circles and most of your arena team are using the health circles.
Closing g11 (going Gold), is not the same as G12 with gear filled in. Closing G11, helps, but a lot of what makes g12 an upgrade was the particularly large boost to stats granted by that gear.
I don't think there was any buff, and no one in my shard has reported any difficulty change.
Maybe just a run of bad RNG? Also, I always find arena more difficult over the weekend with the arena battle guild activity, everyone is burning those 50s.

The fact that they were so easily beatable when they were on defense was kind of a problem.
But I run JTR, and I fell farther on Saturday than I have since I switched to JTR, so I have certainly not experience any boost to the team on offense or defense.
I use titans, but when face JTR i switch to rex lead. It's easy win. Yesterday JTR team fried my rex-tans team third time in a row. But today, it was easy. Seems there is something change, but it's have inconsistent outcome hmm
I don't feel it's bad RNG day.. morelike there is something change, but it doesn't work well hmm
Agreed, I usually go to sleep and wake up somewhere under 20, on saturday I went to sleep at 3 woke up at 49... that was annoying
December 2016 Arena Shard
I did notice that the Rey gaining tm when the enemy gained secret intel didn't seem to be happening anymore, but it isn't in the patch notes. I don't see how that would make her harder to beat by someone running Sith though. Would make offense easier for JTR, and defense tougher against JTR.
Maybe that is it. It could explain my big fall on Saturday (but I was thinking it was just eastern hemisphere timezones doing their pvp activity).
Well, Sith Assassin's Electrocute ignores protection. So that's all health.
Most peoples G12 CLS have like 28k-30k health
Forgot about that. But still, mine is at 28k. But ****, upgraded dmg to 28k.. that’s amazing. Glad I plan on working on her soon
That isn't to say there aren't issues, but they're the same issues.
However, even a few speed on your opponent's squads can drastically change how a match will go for you. The people investing in the game will pull away from you sooner or later. Sooner seems to be the case.
And if your shardmates are catching up it would make sense that the teams would be getting harder.
Zaul teams are still a challenge for most lineups that don't include CLS, R2, RJT.....They make excellent defenders in TW, are needed for TB platoons, and can excel in later TB missions where other dark side teams can't.
Arena is the one place that they don't shine but not because they can't win on offense. It is because everyone knows how to easily beat them and the current top "meta" teams are designed perfectly to do so. Therefore, you fall further each day then those who run those "meta" teams making it more difficult to climb each day. You net less crystals, either because of lower PO rank or because you have to spend for extra attacks, causing the ROI for arena efforts to decrease forcing you to face the dilemma of "Can't beat em, join em" or accepting that you will put yourself on a slower path to growth.
All about how you want to interact with the game. If insistent on NOT chasing the meta, you have to understand that you are putting yourself at a strategic disadvantage to those that do. You can be just as successful but the effort required to achieve it will most likely be greater and generally be at a decreased value than other players
