There are 3 Meta fleets in SWGOH. Profundity beats Executor most of the time but on Defense Executor defeats Profundity. So what possible thought process went into making it so Executor will unequivocally beat Profundity 100% of the time whether on offense or defense?
Levi requires 2 R9 characters, one of which is a Tier 5 journey event, 3 R7 characters, and 2 R5 characters, a Conquest character, and a Conquest ship. Executor NOW easily takes out Levi and only requires 2 R8 characters, 4 R5 characters and one character that's a tier 3 Journey event pilot to unlock. Add a 3 star ship and all of a sudden Executor is instant God mode? Who had their head very far up where the sun don't shine when thinking this was a good idea? Even Profundity requires 1 R9, 1 R8, 1 R7, and 4 R5 characters to unlock. And frankly, Profundity WAS on par with Executor because Profundity was only effective as an Executor counter on offense because Profundity AI on defense is garbage.
Then let's talk about the fact of why did Executor even needed another ship? 2 Rebel capital ships with only 1 viable fleet, 2 Galactic Republic Capital ships with 1 viable fleet, 1 First Order Capital ship which is short 1 ship, 1 Separatist Capital ship short 2 ships, 1 Resistance fleet short 2 ships, 3 Empire Capital ships but really 2 Empire and 1 Bounty Hunter Capital ship hybrid. The 2 Empire only Capital ships only have enough ships for 1 viable fleet. The Bounty Hunter/Empire Capital ship WAS short 2 ships but because it's a hybrid could pull from Empire ships to fill it. The BH/Empire Capital ship was NOT hindered by the lack of those 2 ships to be meta but every other Capital ship that can't field a full roster is heavily gimped. So, you drop a ship that makes the BH/Empire Meta Fleet into an "I win button"?
Even for the short period of time that the Levi was the top meta there were and are Fleets that could beat it; just not with any regularity and is otherwise known as RNG. It took me 10 months from Levi's release to unlock it and another month to get it to 7*. Less than 4 months and it's now effectively "trash" because an already Meta fleet is made way OP because of the addition of a 3* ship that's easily attainable, into a fleet that doesn't require the same level of gaming effort to obtain. A 3 friggen star ship that erases all the work, effort, and money put into both Profundity and Levi. Appropos military acronyms are BOHICA (Bend Over Here It Comes Again) and FUBAR (Don't think you want me to or that I need to expound upon this last acronym.
SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED in the EA brain? trust!!!!!!!
