GA expierience
Just wanted to ask and talk about what you all think of the new grand arena system? I noticed that all my opponents place some light/bad stuff on defense and keep everything for offense which just gets me a full clear in like 20mins. So imo since the changes all GAs on both of my accs were pretty boring. What did you notice?

I have the exact opposite experience--My opponents set up the Iron Curtain plus the Maginot Line plus Fort Knox on defense. My roster is in that awkward phase when you're trying to grow a beard where you don't look distinguished yet, you just look all scraggly and messy. Which is to say that I have enough teams to put together a solid offense, but setting any sort of "real" defense means I can't full clear, so I have to put down trash and hope for a hold or two to offset their undersize bonuses.
But also I'm still at the point where I'm being matched up against with people who somehow have 45 Galactic Legends so against those I just do the one attack for credit and then go read a book.
EDIT: I should also say that I get a surprising amount of holds from people getting greedy. That's allowed me to win some matches that I shouldn't have on paper.
To now having 2 Gl's myself and facing people with 4 or 5, all because I won the first few GA brackets. Even if they don't put 3 on defense, they can just solo a lot of teams on offense with them and get huge banners. I only beat one person who did this on offense due to them failing the executor rng counter.
It has **** the fun out of GAC now and with that the crystal generation
Or you could use your executor on offence and remove the rng element?
74 banners for an executor win mirror match

Lost to worse lineups, won to better ones...skill (i.e. game knowledge) does matter now.
I am thinking more and losing to better players and punishing mistakes from others. I seesaw in rank...sometimes i am in last 4 and am demoted, others i am promoted
Match ending now had one galactic legend player (but with low GP)...i got to the final match (2 wins) and he did not, so my PRESENT opponent beat him in the way...wary on what the trick will be, as the front lines seem weak...
(Loving it...the stress is real now

Sounds like what I do.
E.g. i don't have a GL yet (should unlock SEE tonight!) and faced an opponent with an SLKR, but they didn't place SLKR on defense, so I put a heavy defense down, AND full cleared my opponent. I've always enjoyed the strategy of GAC, so it's a little eye-opening to be matched with people that genuinely don't care about it at all, even with much improved rewards.
That's btw. my experience with the new GAC format. It's much more time consuming than before. The amount of time invested preparing for my opponents has increased exponentially since the third round (and will probably getting worse moving forward). So yes, ultimately everyone has to make the decision on the competition-life-balance.
Especially if you finish with 12:0 this season
I’ve only run into 1 cheater so far, which isn’t fun but it’s within the limits to not really bothering me.
And best of all, no more 3v3!
This change gets a perfect 5 out of 7.
It’s what I’d like to do—it’s just that I worked on offense teams first and now have to work on defense teams. I’m up against the people who already did all that.
Back before the new GAC reward format I’d get annoyed because who cares, right? Lol! Just let me do feats, sheesh! But now it matters so I don’t get annoyed—it makes sense.
