It's really annoying that speed is almost the new meta and is so important in arena. A good team not having the good mods with speed will 75% of the time lose. We can see some toons with a 120 or 130 basic speed having a final 230-250 speed.There is a stat on a mod which is for now not useful, the accuracy which does not have its counterpart. What if there will be a new stat Dodge that we could apply on the Arrow and/or the cross that will increase the Dodge chance for a toon. In that way, the Accuracy stat would become much more useless and we would have to leave the Arrow speed stat to the Arrow Accuracy stat to counter this Dodge stat.Even with a good speed, attacks could be dodged more often and it will force users to invest in the Dodge and/or Accuracy stats mods.For me, it's will be a good alternative to the dominant position of the speed stats in the mods.

No more dodge meta's please, it was horrible. Personally I like the speed meta a lot more.

At least , with speed meta, you can calculate and manipulate turn order. Way less random then dodge meta.But having bad mods sucks.It does whatever the meta is.Trying to switch the meta is not the answer, rebalancing mods is.But then everyone who invested in said mod would be pissed off.

The 2 same teams in arena. Who wins? The fastest one. If one can dodge a bit (I don't mean a 50% chance of course), speed becomes more useless.

If you were around since the first dodge meta and you know how annoying luminara and Ben were then you can ignore this post. That was before protection was introduced and people hadn't a reason to have luminara on their teams

How to get rid of speed. Suggestion.

This is why Dodge is a good counter to speed. I find more annoying to run after a mod with good primary or secondary speed than facing a Dooku, Ben lead and co.

Arena under top 50 is only speed, speed, speed. Toons and strategies come after.

speed is and will always be important. I see no reason why speed shouldn't be a important stat. Having crappy mods isn't a reason why speed shouldn't be important.

I haven't said speed was not important. This is why basic speed is there. But seing some 250 speed toons IS ridiculous.

Depends on the base speed.

Someone rocking over +110 mod speed has very likely payed for that advantage, I think that's ok.

What's not ok is a mod (dodge) that makes each fight dependent on RNG.

"get rid of speed" made me think you meant something else.
base speed without mods sucks btw, RNG deciding who goes first is not something we should want.
