Is Revan the least enjoyable meta?

I've had Revan on one account since his first go round. Unlocked him on his second coming on another account. I've probably played over 500 mirror matches across those two accounts (maybe more). I would think at this point I have a good idea of the mechanics and how to win them.

I can say, unequivocally, this is the least enjoyment I've gotten out of arena. I lack so much enthusiasm for it that I basically stopped arena climbing on one of the accounts, since five Revan mirrors a day is more than one person should be subjected to.

Where's the rest of the community on this?

Traya v. Traya was fine - took some time but had a rhythm to it and there were counters. zEP v. zEP was similarly abhorrent to Revan due to the 100% TM coin flip and everybody basically always had 100% TM, but at least those matches were fast, and there were counters. CLS matches were great. Win or lose, they were over in under 2 minutes, and there were counters.

These Revan fights literally have periods of 15 to 20 seconds where you don't get to take a turn, you just watch the other turn go over and over again, and watch you counter attack. And the you get to watch them counter attack when it's your turn.

Anybody else tired of it, or is it just me?
  • I don't mind mirror matches generally, but Revan mirror matches are the worst because they take too long. I hate how if I'm a little bit distracted during the fight there's a chance I'll time-out. I can't stand arena matches that take the entire 5 minutes and I think time-outs should not be a thing (add 8x speed), so imo Revan is probably the least fun meta, but Bastila wasn't great either. Also I don't even think back in the CLS days it was this bad in terms of diversity, literally 48 of the top 50 on my shard are Revan.

    I just finally started using revan and now I can see why everyone is complaining. Just did five battles and all five battles, not once I have did a crit basic from direct focus 4mil gp players all crit me when their revan uses it. Less than 4 mil players is 50/50. And all their characters heal to full from 1 or 2 bars from red and I can’t even get 2 bars healed. Lmao so much garbage making you spend crystals. Aren’t you guys ready to spend money on the next set of garbage that makes you waste 5 mins of your time so you can retry?
  • This will be how the next cycles will look, nobody knows how much time this will go on. Do you think it will be different with Darth Revan? It will be exactly the same. They will give him something to make him more appealing than Jedi Revan, then you will have some months with whales bragging around for their shiny new 400$ mobile game line of code, then f2ps will get the thing, whales will complain because their 400$ have now jumped in the toilet, rinse and repeat.
