Autodeploy D for GAC should be weakest toons

This time I haven’t been able to get to Kyber as couldn’t score enough points (have been short of less than 600) because I had 3 or 4 opponents with autodeploy D. Hammering 6 legends on D doesn’t make sense if you’re setting up the D for an „honest“ battle. Shall I keep all of the meta teams / legends for O? This doesn’t make sense.

You should keep enough for offense to make sure you can clear whatever your opponent sets on defense.

2 options come to mind, but I’m sure both are too difficult to implement.

1. Upon joining, players have to set a defense. Can’t join until you do. Then during the “set defense” stage players are able to edit their defense if they choose to based on their opponent. Editing is enabled until the end of the defense period. This way there is no auto-deploy - if the player never edits their defense then the pre-set defense remains in place. It also allows for fixing errors made while setting defense.

Or

2. A player has to have set a defense in order to play offense. No defense set = locked out from offense stage.
Meanwhile if a player doesn’t set defense, their opponent instead faces a standard Defense made of AI units. So anyone facing a non-deployed in a given division would face the same defense. They can work on feats and on clearing to earn points while the non-deployed gets no points.

I really like these suggestions, especially being to edit teams.

Probably not the answer you want to hear but if you check their history on their gg page you'll see if they are someone that just auto deploys and will give you an idea of what to do for offense. Realistically i doubt CG cares.

I see you point, however I know some that set all gl on defense, and have done this my self.

Yeah, it’s pretty frustrating to know you really won’t clear the top and the bottom when your opponent has everything unlocked and maxed but does not bother to do anything other than join for the free stuff.

That’s a deliberate defense though. Op is not saying you can’t set a tough defense. He’s just saying someone who intentionally or unintentionally doesn’t set a defense shouldn’t screw over someone who is actively engaging with the mode.

Option #1 is really smart and as one who auto deploys in 3v3, I don't mind if this was the case so that all in GAC are truly committed IF once the Defense is set, I can auto-set that Defense for the rest of the Season..

Would OP prefer facing an all GL defense and still not clearing?

I set all six GLs, three in each front areas, and put crap behind them.
