People with crappy mods and G11 Droids do not belong in the Top 20 in arena simply because they can G13 one toon. That squad needs a serious nerf. At the very least, it should require G12/13 on every toon in order to beat other meta squads that are all G13. Just another side effect of OP relics.

We had a couple reaching first pre-relic.
They also drop like a rock. Counters are nothing new.
I got GG to R6. I dropped to 16 in my launch shard, and I have a G7 IPD. Of course I'd consider my mods to be sublime and results not typical.
Not all shards are created equal.
For once I agree with Vizsla...man the world must be ending.
GG Nuke isn’t an issue. It’s a direct hard counter on DR’s mechanics as previously stated. There are a number of teams that counter the nuke squad. Use those.
I would challenge you to work up those chars, do a few battles and see what you would rather do. Mirror matches or a few seconds either winning or losing. For me, I'd rather know my fate in the shortest amount of time.
Besides, as said by others, they don't hold on defense.
Good luck and game on!
let them eat cake
It's not even worth putting together. I'm not wasting a zeta on T3M4.... to beat a team that can be beaten with other teams easily now? No thanks...
I just used it against an old republic with carth lead squad in TW and it works well too
You missed a joke but that's ok.
Actually, yeah. People who geared one toon and haven’t farmed mods to be competitive to do not belong in the top 20 ranks with a bunch of people who have done everything right to obtain meta toons, gear and mod their squads to be among the best in the shard. That’s the entire point. Arena isn’t supposed to make you feel good for being average. It is supposed to separate the best players from those who don’t put in the work to develop their roster and mods. And yeah, money can substitute for work, but being smart and making good decisions about farming and allocating crystals can get you to top of the arena. That’s perfectly fine. This is akin to when people with three star Bastila and terrible mods were climbing in many shards. It’s not healthy for the arena.
Prior to relics, one or two were climbing to the top with it. They had good mods and geared their other Droids. Now people with G10-11 Droids and terrible mods are able to climb because of relics. That is the issue.
I haven’t seen any real change in who is climbing to the top in my shard. But even so, we are what, 5 months into this meta already? Things will change soon enough anyway. It will be fine.
Those same people, if they don't have the well-modded, high-gear meta squads to put on defense, get shot down to oblivion because GG nuke is pretty easy to beat with non-DR squads. So hard work and good planning does pay off after all.
3* Sion says hi.
DR/Malak never required g13 or elite mods t beat other teams, only to beat mirror matches.
Yeah, 3* Sion and Bastila were also a problem. That’s the point.
How is this in any way the same situation?
