GL Luke vs SLK - Absolutely Crazy
Well, I got my first taste of this in arena today. A non-ult, not even fully zeta'd GLLuke under JKL can absolutely dismiss the SLK matchup. I see reports of this with SEE vs. SLK as well where SLK ...

Basically, just because YOUR GL is countered by a new GL, doesn't really mean the new GL is "unbalanced". It just means that Kylo's no longer the absolutely uncontested BEST character/team in the game. Which is... perfectly fine.
These new GLs actually made me want to get Kylo MORE than if they didn't exist, if we're being honest.
His value wasn't "lowered" in any way, because it was still easy enough to counter Kylo with either Rey or a Kylo mirror match, it just, as it still is, wasn't remotely worth it other than in arena. GL vs GL matches should usually be avoided, even if they ARE free wins.
And this shouldn't affect your ability to place in arena, unless you're both in one insane whale shard AND on bad terms with your shard/shard chat. ...which, simply put, would still likely prevent you from placing well even without the new GLs, anyway.
I guess to express the issue more succinctly. It is not about my GL being terrible. It is about a GL vs GL being a "set it and hot auto and wait x seconds for it to give you the win". I think I should have a chance to actually compete and there is a massive amount of restrictions on the characters that work with kylo because of his unique. He is restricted to half of the first order for the most part. That being said, most battles generally go fast enough where the damage can be ignored and it's mostly a raid restriction. If we halfed the number, is that a terrible thing, and it would open up some theory crafting?
Again, my issue is not that kylo loses. My issue is that it feels like a broken, impossible battle and this isn't even a fully.charged character yet. I said from the beginning I want to hear CGs thoughts on it, I want to hear about their perspective and to see what they feel is acceptable in terms of the meta shift and interactions like this.
What I proposed was a tweak to SLK to give him a chance to fight and was not something to break the game in any way and boosting his power. There are plenty of ways to solve an issue....
