How many more years will we see JMK in all the top ranks?

Why has JMK been predominantly leading the TOP-50 arena at around 80% for several years? How did the idea come about to put both taunt and damage immunity on Plo Koon in the datacron? This is already the second meta datacron in a row for JMK’s team, with the previous one being for Padme in the same lineup. Consider making the balance more apparent. Interest fades when the same character remains at the top for YEARS.

Lately, it’s becoming increasingly noticeable that your interest as a developer is shifting toward maximizing profits, neglecting obvious issues such as arena balance. This is just one example, but it deserves attention, especially since the in-game support chat is ineffective—responses are either missing or lack substance.

  • I thought interest faded in arena when they removed Crystals. Arena balance is not an issue imo. In TW and GAC we just had killer crons for GLLO, Rey and SLKR. Which has seen the meta shift in an interesting manner. 

  • They probably did it to try and make JMLS better. His squad is the only one with the most stunning capabilities between the two. That’s who I use him with and I roll over plenty of squads. Haven’t tried Kenobi only because of CAT. 

  • Arena died when they removed crystals from it. They should just turn arena into a sadbox for guilds to play in. No point in climbing unless you really need that payout for shard shop currency. Their interest has always been profit, they never liked us, or the game for that matter. We are their game testers and we pay them to test their horrendous releases...we are our own worst enemies. Lol

  • I don’t know about other arenas, but in mine, it’s 80% filled with JMK. This is in a game with a vast number of characters. The interest in the arena has indeed faded from a profit perspective. However, the arena can still serve as a showcase for the current metas in the game, available 24/7. You can test many characters in the arena, but it becomes uninteresting when all the tests are against JMK. The sheer number of JMK teams on the arena doesn’t indicate that the character is overwhelmingly liked by players, it shows that JMK is significantly stronger than most other characters in the game. On top of that, we also get excellent datacrons to support JMK’s team.

  • My arena is filled with JMK teams with several of the different jedi crons.  Also quite a few Leias as well.  Unless I'm really bored, I just do my one battle a day at this point.  Finally hit the 10,000 win achievement a few months ago and have pretty much bailed on the arena since then.
