New changes suck period. If you want protection added to the game then use it arena only.
Challenges and GW are now impossible with toons where a lot of mine are epic gear and 7 star. Either refresh the bars or eliminate them. Going further in groups without them to harder teams with full protection, full health and all the cooldowns up versus mine which are down isn't fun.
Challenges suck ass. Could do it before every day - now nope.
As a person who has dropped serious coin in this game saying I'm pissed off is an understatement. I won't drop any more cash in this game period. I gamed all my life in many genre - wtf are you guys thinking?
As a stockholder in Disney, I'm very disappointed in the lack of professionalism with this update. Was there even a beta test to see how the changes would affect the overall gameplay? It feels like a 12 year old said I don't like the one team beating me all the time - let's just add this and see how it goes.
Seriously roll it back and add some of the updates over a period of time. Or I'm done.
