It hasn't passed, people have just finally built up counters now. It's a cycle.
- Sith meta, everyone in top 20 has sith.
- People build up rex teams, soon rex fills up top 20.
- People build other teams to beat the rex squads (pretty much any squad)
- People put maul back in to stomp all of the other squads.
As you can see this cycle right here is revolving around 1 thing. Sith meta.
we're currently at step 2 of this so called cycle revolving around the sith meta, the rest is just an assumption. I haven't seen any team cycle back in to being meta like that ever before, not sure why you assume this will happen now. Usually something new and shiny comes along well before any previous meta cycles back to beat the counter to it's own counter.
Its already happening. There is a rex squad I use as a stepping stone for my Jedi to climb into top 5. The other day I go to climb and see he has put in a maul team.
Why would he switch from a rex squad to a maul squad if the meta is rex? Because if it's not maul you are fighting then there is no point in using rex.
Because rex isnt the meta, it's just the best answer to the sith meta atm.
Rex is a constant anti-meta. Solid against almost any team comp, except Nihilus lead. You don't need synergy to succeed, which is appealing.
Rex gets stomped by Zader, Jedi, any most hodgepodge teams. Teams that Maul can easily handle even on defense under AI control if they target right and land some insane dodges.
