That just shows that almost nobody wants a real challenge in GA.
This is a sad day for competitive gameplay.
I disagree. I do think people want a challenge - I just think they also want a fair fight. There are situations where 2 guys with both Revans are in the same bracket with 2 guys who have neither. That's not a "challenge" for either side (unless they only faced each other, which to win, isn't possible).
A matchup algorithim that can't seem to account for the two most meta dominant characters in the game's history seems to need "retweaking".
Or you call it what it is,an advantage.
A deserved one, if you farmed/speng accordingly.
People without revan don't win or win with an good counter and other good teams.
Except CG has stated in several places that the intent of the GAC matchmaking rework was, at least in theory, that
"players will still be rewarded for their strategy in Grand Arena, but they’ll be matched up against someone who looks more like them. The change won’t be drastic – in most cases, players should still have GP that is pretty close to that of their opponent."In other words, that advantage is supposed to help in arena, TW, TB and raids - but GAC is supposed to have matchups of rosters that are more evenly matched. Either CG's statements about the matchmaking rework for GAC is off base, or the matchup algorithm seems to be. And since CG has remained silent on the point for the past 24 hours, we don't know which is the case.
