GW is too hard for lower levels now (no joke)

I'm just shy of 70 and Galactic War has become frustratingly hard as of the recent patch. I used to clear 12/12 95% of the time before, now I'm lucky to do 9/12.

Here's the problem:
Before the patch, the only threatening nodes were 6, 9 and then maybe 11 and 12. You had weak nodes inbetween so you were able to "save" some cooldowns, heal up, that kind of stuff.

After the patch though?
It's completely random and you get hard nodes right from the beginning. I've had a full 80++ team on node 1. And it just continues like that. Constant barrage of level ~80 or even slightly above teams on the majority of nodes. There is no room to breathe anymore, it just wears out my teams and by the time I reach node 9 I'm already scraping by. And that's despite multiple retreats and trying to get through nodes with minimal losses and damage received.

I don't know what exactly you did, but whatever it is, you made GW extremely brutal for people who are not at the level cap. If that wasn't your intention I'd like to see you change that back.

    That is normal. Pheonix has no chance against this team. But I can tell You that this team Rebels wouldnt do anything against meta team like CLs, Zolo R2, Chase or Thrawn Kenobi. And this meta team was everyday in my Gw twice or three times. Against those Rebels you need pretaunter, Baze or Shore Trooper.

    Did you send out a team of scrubs to eat specials and put them on cooldown?

    Having a tough node is a good thing. It's doable if you have a team to make start cool downs a main team to kill a couple and then some others to wrap it up.
