I would say the problem with new meta shifting characters is that they totally shift the meta. Before, the meta would shift, but there were always counters that were able to do well in the top 10. Then Traya hit and she totally wrecked the top 20. If you didn't have Traya you were locked out until you unlocked her. I was in that boat for months. Then Revan hit and basically did the same thing to those without him. When Darth Revan hits, I fully expect the same thing will happen. He will be so powerful that even the previous meta team wouldn't be able to handle him effectively. So, if you like the free crystals everyday, you should be farming the OR characters (and probably should already have Fallen and Ordo at 7*s)
