I hate grand arena mods

mod depth has nothing to do with it, different counters need different modding, thats all. Also 6dot mods with 10 speed is still garbage compared to 5dot mod with 25 speed. (mod GP does not give you good matchup)

Yeah that's roster depth that is the problem. Basically you need the depth to counter SLKR without messing up your mods for several battles.

If you face SLKR on defense often, it may be worth modding for that. But if you had enough depth to have other counters available, it wouldn't be an issue.

Well, I have like 3 different SLKR counters available (some share some toons), so I don`t have problems in GAC with it. And roster depth for example in div 2 is completely irrelevant, since you need at least 14 teams and then you are left with g10 toons..the same goes for early div 1 (my case). Also there are only few top tier teams that can counter DRM and better teams, that having, I dont know, say, relic jawas, will not help you at all..

Another think I want to point out is, that roster depth is not considered in the matchmaking process..

Maybe roster quality is a better term then. Depth is considered up to your top 80 toons. If you have high quality in your top 80, then if you face a SLKR, you should be fine.

In early div 1 (4.5-5 mil gp), you likely won't face more than one GL unless you have a ton of bloat. I'm right near the 5 mil point and have yet to see a GL in gac. Though, with being 5 toons left to relic for see, I'm sure I will start seeing them soon enough. But I'll also have one soon enough too.

So your reason for wanting to move mods is so you can counter SLKR if needed. But you have 3 counters and are in the lower part of Div 1 where you likely won't see GLs or if you do, you'll only need to worry about 1.

The story just doesn't seem all that consistent.

SLKR was just an example..I give up

Why don't you use an example that is actually relevant to your experience.

It was relevant, for me, GAC is about finding best usage of your roster against current opponent, now every opponent is different, some have GLs, some dont.. Being able to adjust mods to fight the current opponent would provide you the opportunity to use your roster the best possible way.

What's your definition of early division 1. You either have more than 5 mil gp (at which case you should be able to counter a GL without switching mods), a very top heavy roster and no GL (poor roster choices), or you aren't seeing more than the occasional GL in gac (in which case changing the whole way a game mode works just in case you see a GL is not worth it.)

And the idea of moving mods every two days just for a counter team is super annoying. I hate moving mods and rarely do so. I get them where I want and leave them there. Easy enough.

I also look at my opponents stats for important characters when I decide what defense to set. Having them able to change those stats would take away the strategy of putting a team on defense that my opponent will be unlikely to beat.

So your suggestion would mean more guessing on setting defense and more moving mods. No thanks.

That is the change from what it is and what you propose.

GAC is about making the best setup from your roster that you can work with, in multiple cases (3 to be exact), and working with that in those matches.

Once you can adjust mods and possibly gearing toons in the way you suggest, the game mode changes to just a single match, with time to make an in depth plan and strategy, more like TW, but for singles.

As we agreed earlier, this is less of an improvement, and more of a change to make it a different game mode. Some would like and some would not, but it would no longer be the current game mode we have.

They are able to do so in current game. You can remove your DR mods after you join GAC and they will have no clue what your DR speed is...

Ok but I rarely see that happen. Because it is not practical to remove mods and pay credits for that first just that purpose.

Would I be for a change where if you look at your opponent while in gac, it shows what's locked in? Absolutely. But for the purposes of my planning, there is usually not enough change to affect my decisions.

But your change would just make that issue worse not better.
