[Investigation] Punishing One match ups

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!!!!!!! 

WHat a dubious approach, is that necessary as CG and EA? I hardly ever write posts, but this is an absolute disgrace. I have no problem investing money, it's my hobby, but that's an absolute no go. If there is a massive nerf, I will demand a refund of the money I used to buy crystals for it!

I’m just confused as to why CG hates Profundity. Prof is a harder farm and PO even at 3* makes Profundity useless. It’s not like Execs even needed any help vs Prof. Even worse the lightspeed bundles make it easier to get Executor as well. Just a slap in the face for Prof mains. There might be Lucien lifter later but that’s no guarantee and until then Prof is a dead ship.

Instead of nerfing the PO you should just add exclusions to it affecting the ship itself so a soft nerf or buff Levi in regards to this, or else nerfing this means it may fall below the Negotiator and be worse off. 

I had started an account recently and got Profundity unlocked just a month back. The fact that this ship totally negates the Profundity is absurd. Profundity has much higher requirements than Executor. Fleet arena is important for crystals which are important in early game. This is exactly what makes new players want to quit the game. I don't think this type of changes in the meta is healthy for this game. CG - you have done a terrible job with this ship and I hope you nerf it - at least against Profundity and Leviathan. This also shows that CG does not care about in game experience and only about their wallet. This game is increasingly becoming difficult for new players to catch up with and this is just a step in the wrong direction. 

Most of the people who have Lev now worked hard to get a ship to make them competitive in Fleet Arena. Now people with a no cost no effort 3 star PO are beating Lev. Lev was always supposed to be the meta until a new cap ship replaced it, that was not meant to be the effect of this new ship and this should be seen as a dreadful error until someone can prove some money making conspiracy. If you spent money cause you found out they'd made a mistake with that and you thought you could get a cheap counter then maybe that should be on you. There is consumer law in my country that if something is not fit for the purpose it is intended then you are entitled to a refund but in this case they have stated "Leviathan will remain a difficult matchup, but Executor should be able to hold more consistently against everyone else" so I don't see that should apply if they change it to correct PO v Lev matches in favour of Lev.

Awe are they mad that they have a little competition now with executors

Looks fine to me. I can finally compete in fleet arena again instead of losing to people who whaled

My Exec fleet beats Levi about 80% of the time without the new ship 🤷

Maybe nerf it to the point where F2P is not as OP, but 7 stars is as it was released?
