Likewise, the crunch is real.
I keep hearing in response that "you don't have to omega every toon" and while I agree with that, the problem with the omega crunch is the growing reliance on full squads (FO, NS, BH etc) to compete in certain parts of the game. A year ago it was more about the best individual toons rather than squads.
The Sith Raid made this even harder where you need to have your squads omega'd to get a half decent result. Then TW is constantly putting pressure on squad requirements to make those walls of ideal squads.
More and more it's not about choosing a single toon to put omegas on, it's which squads to put omegas on. Throw in the increase of toons with 5 abilities and we could be talking 25-30+ for an individual, but 150+ for a functional squad in certain instances.
That has definitely created a crunch that IMO warrants a more thought out response than "you don't need to omega every toon".
