While I agree CG made a huge mistake with this, mirror matches are pretty easy and consistent even if the opponent goes first if you use Tie Reaper as first reinforcement for its turn meter removal as it effectively resets the coin flip.
People lose because they'd rather moan than google what is now a couple of weeks old solution.
When the second move, the enemy Leviathan blows the hangars, the caused by Tie Reaper will be destroyed after the call. Good tactics when playing from 2 strokes.
Reaper's reinforce ability will still fire before it's destroyed - so it still resets the enemy Levi TM to be equal with yours again - so every cap ship turn after that is technically a coin flip to see who goes - but the only one that matters is the coin flip for ult.
It's not ideal. It's a workable strategy but still much worse than before.
