Executor is a beast? [MERGE]

i think we have to wait for some serious datas over a few weeks to see if Executor will stay on top or is just switching with Nego and Male.

everything can change very quickly if they release a new ship, like the Punishing One. this could be the key for the new meta. wouldnt be a surprise regarding to other metas in the past.

Agreed. Would still be disappointing, because it would mean that there are more requirements that were hidden to make it meta.

and for the high investment of reqs - u could also argue why SEE is beating my JML all the time?

It's hard to compare ground units with fleets, as fleet doesn't have a GL meta (yet).

looked through the reqs again and the only real pain for unlocking this ship is TIE Pilot with R5.

Let me put it this way: it's christmas. I give enough presents to gear up: 2 characters to r8, 1 character to r7, 4 characters to r5. You can choose any character you like in your roster, just make a list. I doubt very much those executor requirements will be near the top of the list (well, probably Vader and maybe Bossk can).

and for being on top of fleet arena u would have geared your pilots anyway at some point.

Not if you already are on top of arena with your actual non-Executor fleet.


As you said, time will tell if there is a problem. But if Executor is reliably beaten by the previous meta, that's a problem. You may obviously disagree, but I hope I managed to explain why it could be seen as such. Weirdly, Executor has to be unbalanced for the balance of the game.
