Maul (L) is no longer meta and has passed

I think what the OP is indicating is that on his shard, he's seen the zDM phase come and pass - so it's an indicator of what is yet to come for the game in general. So zDM is not true meta at all. This would be a less extreme example of how on younger shards they complain about wiggs meta or Rey - yet when they make those posts everyone is like "NOOB"... "LEVELUP" .. or "learn to play!!!" So you may not have passed the zDM phase yet, just means you are on a less advanced shard (or to keep the analogy a younger shard).

Since GG is a widespread sample across many shared, it's not going to be a leading indicator of what really is meta compared to a certain few advanced leaderboards. It's more of a lagging indicator since anything that tags more with the masses will be slower than the most advanced segment of the game. The fact that even on a widespread basis zDM has been steadily losing leader % points is a sign that he's on the downside - that doesn't mean useless, but he's on the downside. His leader at one time was nearly 50%, now it's down to 42%

I'd already been seeing this on my leaderboard for a few weeks and starting pushing the DN / Dooku / Savage angle to counter the Rex squads and elite Jedi comps.

The most impressive thing in the meta report to me though is the usage of DN....70%!!!!!! NERF DN! :) jk jk
