They seems to have missed or ignored the “ Datacrons are killing the fun” or “datacrons remove the skill” or “ datacrons are adding too much screen time”.

A vast majority of people, that I’ve seen, here, Reddit and on YouTube all hate datacrons. Where the response to that?

OK, I have to disagree with this first part. You know what removes the skill? A stale meta where you know with 100% certainty that Team A beats Team B without having to apply any thought. Addressing that by releasing enough new characters to change that meta at a high cadence isn't practical and would be cost prohibitive (particularly when including gear, relic materials, etc) to players.

Now, Datacrons as they are currently implemented are bad. The concept of them to remove that certainty is a good thing though. I am happy to see attempts at incremental change to address this and get the concept to work even if I think the latest iteration is not much better for the reasons the OP indicated.

Unfortuantely, if your feedback is "yuck get rid of them" then I'm sorry to say that while it's going to be heard it isn't going to lead to any constructive change.

Let's instead focus on the actual problems with the Datacrons - making GLs more overpowered is bad; infinite turn loops are bad; negating opposing attacks are bad. This is feedback that may get listened to and lead to improvements in the game mechanic that in its current form is indeed bad for the game.

It takes lots of skill to find counters for all the faction in the game meta or not!!! Veteran players might put in a squad that nobody rarely uses like Darth maul led sith. Now of hand can you think of a counter for that?? If $$CG$$ did some toon reworks every once in a blue moon like Marvel Strikeforce does about every 3-6 months to keep the game fresh and fun to play none of this Datacon garbage would be needed. I admit that omnicron’s were a wonderful addition for some toons that haven’t been used in years like my ROLO for LSGEOTB was the best choice I’ve made so far but using her twice a month only for TB and absolutely nothing else is pretty lame. Why can’t the greedy Dev’s update and upgrade 1 of 2 perennial benchwarmers like Mob enforcer? They certainly don’t requiring these dumpster dwellers for ChoreQuest feat’s.
