Is this what GAC is supposed to be?

In the first two waves of this GAC, I have come up against defenses that were almost laughable ... with the exception of Strangerlegs or PKH with the right datacrons. Each of these has one, maybe two counters (with some overlap). If they fail, the match is over. You can't even chip away at them.

Is this what you guys imagined GAC becoming all those years ago? You can have utter garbage on defense but as long as you have one or two toons that are almost unbeatable, you win? Is this rewarding roster depth or strategizing? It's just dumb blind luck if your counters work and if they'd don't, well too bad.

At least it's cutting the time I spend in the game and has reduced by money commitment to zero.

    On the plus side this meta saves a lot of time over say when we had an efficiency meta.

    Im in K1 or 2 (dependant on which month it is as I yo-yo) and quite enjoying this GAC as a lot of it comes down to who can clear the others Spidermaul DC and PKHO Vane DC teams. 

    Its also nice having Jabba on attack to use as not risking anyone using the Wampa DC on him.

    If I cant then I do as much as I can and move on and hope my opponent is worse.

  • Well, your opponent clearly has a better strategy than you. They've chosen a defence that stops you, and gives them more attacking options by not having to put down other strong teams on defence. Its nothing to do with dumb blind luck as you claim- they've used their roster depth well and strategized better than you have.

    We all have access to the same tools, sometimes others are just better at utlising them.

    TLDR: Skill issue- quit whinging (as you do this a LOT but its NEVER your fault).

    Ooh, havent got mine to high enough relics levels yet but is she a hard counter? Do you need to match their relic levels or does say r7 beat an r9 team?

    Wished Id rushed her relic levels now!

  • I don't think they have enough insight to predict the effects of new characters and datacrons on the whole of GAC.  We'll just have to live with it until the datacrons go away.  It's very unusual to have such a defence meta; it does feel bad though!

  • Satele Shan solves the Spider Maul problem. We unlocked her on Monday. Guess you should have played Conquest. 

  • They don't get how to balance a game tbh they need to remove datacrons to have some sort of balance. before Datacrons the balance was how you modded a team or do away with all wordy and super op l9's on characters tbh would be balanced as well. make it a max cap of 20% on a single stat on a dc. we had a game that felt better before Datacrons now it is not about team crafting and modding it is about who spends more on Datacrons wins.
