This is it, CG. This is the straw that broke the camels back. Players won't want to invest into AB toons when you are just going to "rotate" them away. This breaks the investment ABs require when you don't let us get the long term, consistent rewards. Why invest into anything at all when you're removing all of the advantage of doing so?
You only have yourself to blame as the mid-game players decide to leave, the late-game players decide they're tired of fighting only whales, and the whales realize that they're not getting anything but mirror matches anymore that are decided entirely by the RNG these garbage datacons provide.
Do we all recall how poorly LotR:HoME was planned/monetized/received? Do we remember how quickly that game disappeared? Bad decisions like this that remind me of the very obvious mistakes CG has made make me think you all are actively trying to kill the game. Unfortunately, it is probably going to work.
