DEVS Please Fix GAC

I agree that the problem is definitely temporary. That the more someone builds their roster, the more it’s easier for them to climb and for those larger accounts for them not to affect them. I mean I see it now as my GAC opponents this week have so far been a 9m with 5 GL’s and a 10m with 5 GL’s and Executor. However, I full cleared them both thanks to the fact that I just got Leia and I’m sure when I get Executor next, this problem will be even more minimal. 

The issue that takes a looooooooong time to happen, especially if you don’t spend any money on the game. From a new player perspective, if I were to come into the game for the first time, get all the way to level 85 and then the first thing I face once I arrive at the competitive mode is a roster I have no chance against. Essentially the way I see it, the new player has three choices, keep f2p farming and deal with losses for a long while, buy some light speed bundles to try and mitigate the problem immediately or just leave. As the problem persists and new players have no idea what to do would, I think they would probably just drop the game out of frustration. I understand now that I face these crazy rosters for a reason, because I can actually beat them. It may be slightly unfair, but as you essentially said the price of winning is facing tougher opponents. I care enough about the game to try to keep climbing even when I’m disadvantaged. From a new player perspective though, why would they care? If they have minimal investment in the game, I think they’re more likely to drop it which is sad because I think this game has lot to offer. I don’t think I should be unconditionally winning as put it, but I do think that lower level players should not be unconditionally losing because of this problem. Before you ask for evidence of this, I’m gonna provide some below:

What inspired me to write my initial post was a video I saw from Nooch2Gud where he’s made a new f2p account but despite being in Carbonite 5 is facing rosters that he has no chance against as a 500k account. And Nooch is a very experienced player so I don’t think that had anything to do with it. I’m gonna send a link for the video below and I’m curious what you think about it, if the new player experience is being short-changed or if there is something we should be doing. Fair warning the video is more of a rant than anything but he shows the problem he’s facing in the video:

And if you want to see him dealing with it from more of a gameplay perspective, here’s this video the GAC originates from, just skip to 17:00 to see him start playing GAC:
