There are so many problems with the game right now, coming off the least popular characters ever released, and this is what CG wants to do? I've seen so many quit this year already, and now CG wants to completely change how squad matchups work? The interesting matchups and theory-crafting counters are what make this game fun to many, and now this is completely gone with relic delta. I've played for nearly 6 years, leader of a guild, Kyber resident, but this release would 100% be the end me playing this game, and many in my guild have expressed the same sentiment. Hell I'm already thinking maybe it's a good idea to quit if this is the "creative" direction CG wants to take this game. Never mind TWs not being updated for 8 years, or GAC leaderboards being bugged, or shop lag...only money!
Why not just add relic 10 and make it a reason to update TWs? Sure make relic 10 strong, but no reason to change all the matchups/game mechanics that people have spent years learning with this relic delta nonsense.
ALSO MAKE IT SO I CAN ACTUALLY FIGHT MY GUILDMATES' SQUADS, REPLACE SQUAD ARENA WITH GUILD ARENA. So boring that it's not possible to fight against my friends.
I think the point is to make it so when relic 10 comes out everyone will be forced to upgrade at least a little or be incapable of doing much of anything. Then they can switch to a 1 year progression upgrade just like MSF does.
