Bastila question ...
Why does this game allow 3* and 4* characters be viable in arena. Why is it i have a full g12 zeta team that loses to 3* and none g12 teams just because of the broken mechanics that these developers overlook. Why aren't players with lower star and gear toons at more of a handicap going up against g12 zeta teams?

This topic was huge when every team in the top 100 was cls and NS came along.
It can be frustrating but keep in mind that over time you can have multiple teams that compete in arena at any given time.
Personally I switched from EP to NS and am having fun in Arena again rather than fight agaisnt the same team all the time. NS kill jedi, mix it up.
Need more info to say why... but sounds like you either played wrong or dont understand how bastila works.
Her zeta leadership is brutal to palp lead teams. Its not unbeatable but my bet is the other tean wasnt so under powered... and had grand master yoda and possibly hermit yoda
You must get rid of grand master yoda or you are done. Bastila is there to grant the protection and speed. She also grants the powerups... but GMY is the key.
Whats was on the other team?
This.
but my guess is the losing part, as to why people are starting to not like this.
everyone has a right to be viable in arena, this is how F2P who make good choices and/or have invested time into this game can keep up and be competitive.
Overpowered synergy
To quote Hermit Luke: "This is not going to go the way you think."
Try and land dots on a zBastila team...
You are clearly in a young shard based on the teams at the top. Fully zeta'd g12 sith would have no trouble winning against those teams. Source: I am not in a young shard, and the top goes "Traya, Traya, Traya, Traya, Traya, Traya,..."
Bastila is a great thing for the game. Already bad enough that they made JTR such a royal pain to get, then cut her off by reworking palp a couple months layer, then stacked Traya on top of that. No sympathy for the sith if this really is the beginning of the end of a very long meta run. Your pay to win friends can pay for some Jedi. They'll be ok.
Lol...pay to not wait. That is ridiculous. The entire game is based on the time-intensive process of accumulating powerful characters, leveling and gearing them, modding them, etc. Paying to skip ahead is paying to win. I would love to hear you describe the HUGE difference. "I am not paying to win, I am just paying to access a character that no one who plays for free can counter effectively....way different.... because in 6-12 months they can get this character to 7* also, disregarding the fact that I will already be on to the next OP toon by then"
I have done the same thing. Poured money in to get JTR so I could dominate arena for a few months. Worked like a charm. It was pay to win. Just embrace it.
As for teams beating you who "shouldn't"....this is the nature of this type of battle system. Characters have strengths and weaknesses, and the AI is an additional weakness and always has been. Mirror matches are usually won due to exploiting the AI. When you throw a hard counter team against the AI, it is often easy to beat teams that are better geared or have more Zetas. This isn't new, nor is it in any way unique to swgoh or even uncommon in gaming in general. I do not understand the fuss.
The pay 2 not win there is happening because you can't buy Hermit Yoda and he makes a huge difference in that team
Again, team composition is very important, not purely gear and zetas.
If Traya is not an option look for something else.
As for me ... I just kick JTR butts and take their spot, while they kick Bastila butt and take their place. And bastilla teams kick my butt and take my place. Sooo in a sense it is far.
Try kicking traya’s butt if u dare ... it didn’t go well with my team
Heck just image revan coming out and u need all 5 old republic toons to unlock ... I’m not willing to spend that amount of money ...
JTR was already a cash grab for the vets that you don’t use ..
Against 150 pct tenacity + whatever tenacity the Jedi already had?
I am glad I don't face your Vader in TW! Especially with either the maul or Vader leads you mentioned....no bonus potency...so I would love to know how you are getting through all that tenacity. Even with triple potency sets plus potency cross it is hard to push him much above 90%.
Edit: NM, wasn't following you.
CLS, JTR, Sith. Three meta teams for over a year, with JTR getting the shortest run. The shifts aren't that often, and the whales are doing just fine. If buying a few characters to get into the next meta a few times a year **** you off, you were never a whale (which isn't a bad thing, just a fact)
No wonder you'd win if you have six on your team vs five (Vader, Maul, SA, Nihilus, Marauder, Sion).
It was my bad....when you said Vader went right off the bat I thought you meant you were giving dots right off the bat.
Yes, agreed if you chew the protection off then dots work great....but if you got to that point I don't think the dots mattered, you were already going to win. Until you set up on defense and the AI screws it up, of course, but that's always been true.
It's very advanced theory crafting, you wouldn't understand.
Except the real analogy is you bought the fancy car, then got frustrated when it can't win a race through 6 feet of water against a rusty old boat. Your g12 team is still powerful, it just doesn't win in every situation.
