There seems to come more and more non GL teams that easily beats GLs.I have five GL and it’s not worth getting the two I miss, Rey and SLKR.They are not worth the time and investment anymore.The third sister seems to be the last proof that CG doesn’t want the GL to be the best teams anymore.But even before that it’s pretty clear that they want lesser teams to easily beat teams like Jabba.Sure my Aphra team need the datacrone but when that runs out there will be a new one.And of course LV had many non GL teams beating him.It surprises me CG went this direction. Is it because they doesn’t earn enough money on players farming GLs or is it a change of the meta to reduce the GLs impact in the game?

You will still be at a disadvantage if you don't chase GLs even if there are non-GL counters to GLs

One team alone doesn't get you what it used too.Player with just reva and no gls vs a player with all GL, I know who would have the advantage.Also guess which players actually have reva? The ones that have just about every unit reliced.Look at all the complaints about GAC match making "I am matched against a player with 6 gls and I only have 4, how is this fair"

Rey and slkr shouldn’t be ignored. I don’t disagree entirely with your post but rey Ben will always be a good defensive team even though it’s solved. Slkr will continue to be one of the most important counters to gls or flavor of the month dc amped non gl teams.

I hope I start finding opponents that skip GLs

Not worth the time and investment anymore compared to what? The rest of his post and his point. And @TVFs point is he likes the conclusion the op has come to for his opponents in gac. He’d rather face someone skipping slkr and rey in pursuit of flavor of the month teams. Don’t really see why that’s hard to understand. We have no idea how good the second cal will be or how powerful the dc he gets will be. Seems like tvf is saying known quantities that are permanent is better over unknown quantities both with and without dc.

Reva is one thing, but she is gated pretty well unless you're in a top guild. Aphra isn't amazing from what I have seen. Even with a datacron, I beat her with CLS, Han, Chewie in 3 v 3 GAC. In arena, JMK wiped the floor with her without a datacron vs a level 9 datacron aphra. To the point, that both Aphra and Vader were dead even before I got to use my CAT instakill. As for SLKR and Rey, get them. At the very least, the more GL's you have, the easier GAC is. Rey with Ben Solo can be a very difficult team to take down. SLKR has a ton of uses.

The OP is pointing out that he believes GLs are no longer the best teams and youre not served focusing on them when you can farm the flavor of the month teams much cheaper and they're beating the GLs hed be grinding for anyway.

Today isnt the best day to suggest GL's are the top of the pecking order when the best overall team in the game is now Reva - which costs much less to get than Rey or SLKR. Why go after SLKR if you have any possible chance of getting Reva?

I will continue to look for opponents that avoid Rey and SLKR.

I feel like you guys are talking past each other. Or maybe I misunderstand the discussion.

Are GLs good? Hell yeah!

Are GLs expensive? Hell yeah!

Consider a player that doesn't have all the GLs yet, for the same amount of investment required to get SLK/Rey/etc, would they be better off having 2 or 3 (not sure where that math landed) flavor of the month teams or the GL? I'm honestly not sure. Short term, probably flavor of the month. Long term, probably the GL. \_(ツ)_/¯

Reva is a silly argument. Yes only 6 characters vs 15 but then 3.5 months minimum assuming you are in a guild getting 48 shards a month. Also no one is saying don’t get reva.

The ops argument is they are better served getting aphra than cal vs slkr and rey in any order. I’ve not completely disagreed with this assessment. I’m saying rey and slkr are still good investments and I think it makes more sense pursuing known quantities vs unknown ones.

Ultimately do whatever you want but I just don’t buy the argument that rey and slkr are no longer worth the investment. It’s also too soon to declare aphra better than rey and slkr even when factoring in cost.
