Here's a wild idea. Maybe all the people who are saying it's harder, are saying that because it is actually harder.
There are nearly 80 characters. My belief is that if you have one or multiple of these 4 (RG, STH, Barriss, or Daka) it significantly changes your experience with GW.
Are we sure Galaxy War isn't harder since the update? 167 votes
NO, it really isn't harder!
It's not harder for me, but I lean a lot on either RG, STH, Barriss, or Daka
It's harder, which makes sense because a lot of people are saying that.

Also, I'm forced to mix and match now according to the teams I face in GW. Mainly QGJ and Dooku lead, with Genosion, Lumi, JC, Daka and 86 involved. I never use my Barris, RG, STHan or Phasma. FTP btw.
I tried clicking no it really isnt harder as i dont use rg, sth (not sure who that it), bariss, or daka
I have not yet seen a team that gave me real difficulty since the update.
Went from 30 min to almost an hour. I run a full group of healers so I have no need to retreat, but I end up having to cleave through almost double the amount of health I would have otherwise pre-update.
Barriss is the god-empress of GW... I honestly can't tell if the difficulty has changed. Seems like if it was easy before it's still easy but if you were struggling protection can be a problem?
And I'm generally without my protection bar(s) from node 2-4
Phasma 7* (Lead), QGJ 5*, Daka 5*, RG 4*, Lumi 7* is working great for me. Against Yoda I swap QGJ against Ventress 6* for the debuff skill.
As for GW, I think that GW is different, not harder, and requires a different strategy. I found it quite slow and difficult using my old strategy. I had to dump 3.5 million into a charactor (Phasma) in order for it to be easy again.
I do think people are more reacting to change rather than it being objectively more difficult.
No it means it's different. And equally easy to get. I'm still running 2 GW farms, a Cantina, a hard node, and an 8 energy cantina node. So even if you factor charactor rarity it's not harder to get the characters needed.
I actually have fewer losses and fewer retreats now than I used to. I just didn't have turn meter manipulation leveled.
Edited for spelling
If you have most of the best chars at high lvls, nothing in the game is going to get harder, the only real challenge is pvp vs. other players of your calibre. For mid lvl player who don't have a huge assortment of high tier chars (such as myself) the difficulty is noticeably higher
If you run into a string of RG teams, then it might get pretty annoying though.
#1 @scuba in his last reply said he uses RG in GW
#2 User has no recent post
#3 @StarSon in another thread said he uses Daka in GW and you're level 50. Level 74 GW is very different.
#4 @Finn also uses Daka
#5 @CptCaveman in another thread specifically referred to using RG to beat GW
I can likely go on
I think I made my point. There is a very clear META that was very amplified with the update. GW is harder, and I honestly have no idea why there are so many No's. It seams disingenuous.
@Obi_Wan_Cannoli none of what I write below is meant as a personal attack on you or anyone.
This is an opinionated poll. I can't answer for others I can only answer for myself So I selected the best option available out of the ones that you provided which for me no it is not any harder.
I have never said it wasn't harder for others. The people I chat with in my guild find it hard and I believe them and most others that state it as such on the forums. I have never once told someone else that they are crazy their GW can't be hard because mine is not. I don't play their match-ups and I don't have their teams.
META is normally referring to a team not one charater
I run my GW with Ewoks sth/rg/daka, which is what I posted and what you are partially quoting.
I personally hope they make a change to GW to make it fun for all players. Games should be hard but not frustrating.
