Direction of the top end of arena
No matter what terminology you prefer: nerf, bug fix, a more accurate description of abilities, the greatest imbalance currently in the game has not been changed. Anyone at the top end of arena on...

Serious question, why do people think these fixes will decrease zauls use? I'm not seeing anything that they fixed that should have much of an affect on him or his team.
Can anyone explain why they think this is a massive change?
No one was talking about the fixes, OP was just complaining that there now exists a counter to Zaul.
Not complaining that there now exists a counter, there has always been a counter. Stating that Zaul was never the problem. Defense will actually improve in arena as randomness will no longer factor so much in battle and arena will go back to who has the best mods.
Before the Sith rework there was a rock-paper-scissors balance of one team that could beat 2 others but not the third and vice versa, etc etc.
After the Sith rework, that chessboard was overthrown and Zaul absolutely was the problem. That's why it went from a mix of Zader, ZGJ, Zaul, Phasma, Wiggs/Chaze to a wall of Zaul.
Rex is only so prevalent because there are still so many Zauls. Rex had numerous counters, Zaul had only one that is reliable.
Can you on occasion beat a Zaul with the right RNG without Rex or R2, yes, but that Zaul team can go back and put it on auto and clear through you.
You're wrong, Zaul is the problem. If Zauls Zetas was pulled overnight you would go from 60% Rex to less than 20% at the top end.
Rex has always been meta, people either didn't have him or didn't bother to use him. The Rex/Sun Fac teams were the best available teams for a long while. If you had a shard where Zader and ZGJ and Phasma were competing, then all it means is you have a very weak shard.
And then Chaze and Zetas came out and they were not viable for a while. My shard moves quick and is very competitive. Had teams with maxed SA/Nihilus teams as soon as the packs were out, same with Krooper.
Sorry but if your shard clung to that old meta through Zetas you got lucky.
