Bring Balance to the Force

I just wanted to ask why it seems there is never a focus on trying to provide better balance in this game? It's, quite literally, laughable at this point, that there are almost 100 characters, and maybe 3 or 4 viable Arena squads. This "Meta" nonsense needs to change. I'm looking at my Arena and 46 out of the top 50 squads are practically identical. Instead of releasing a "new" more powerful meta every 6 months, why not try to work on a bit of a balance in the game overall. This notion of, "Oh, he's a bit OP......Well let's make another squad even more OP to offset it" needs to stop. It's getting worse over time. I enjoy the game, but it's high time this consolidation of power into 1 or 2 "god mode" squads ends. What's the point of having diverse rosters, if only 3 or 4 squads actually matter. I'm hopeful the new game mode helps this a bit, but a concerted effort on balancing the game a bit would be welcomed.

    That's the difficulty of a microtransaction game. If it were only a monthly sub, the devs would probably spend more focus on balancing the characters. But how do you expect someone who paid $400 for a maxed character to react if you suddenly lower that character's effectiveness to make them no longer stand out as much as they used to?

    zQGJ
    zFinn
    zMaul
    Rex
    zThrawn
    zVader
    Wedge
    zJyn
    zTarkin
    zKrennic
    zDN

    I count 11 viable leads that can take 1st. That's just off the top of my head. Keep up the hard work, you will get there! :)

    And JKA as a leader (kidding). Not exactly #1, but I've gotten top 5 with a JKA lead haha

    That, my friend, is truly an accomplishment.

    There have been many times in this game where there was a true meta, where there were basically 5 toons used.

    They have been adding zetas and reworks, this has made more toons viable. as more toons become more viable more teams become viable.

    The list of viable teams is really good, yes not all teams are viable as lead and not all toons can make it on an arena team, but they have brought a lot of balance to the game over the past year.

    Well said. I think this game is headed in the right direction.

    And how many of those are in top 50? It's like 3 and few fun squads which get stomped to 150++ half past five. OP is damn right. With EP VIII we'll get kitten op combo, which will make all those chasing Chaze cry upon their lost time and money.
    On positive note however, I'd love to see character which is more OP than Chirrut.
    Maybe Mon Mothma? "All rebels in your collection are called to assist. If any scores critical hit, rebels from your allies collection also assist."
