Hey everyone, I'm combining all of the Poe threads into one. There are numerous posts about the same things over and over with regards to Poe. If you want to keep posting about the things that have...

So matches shouldnt be lucked based, it should be an easy 100% win due to the dumb AI. I'd love someone's input on how this is a strategic game, and not a basic mobile game.
You ask how are rng matches fun? I actually find it more fun when there's a chance of losing, instead of a 100% easy win, and a 100% free snipe for my opponent. Now with my f2p poe team I actually have a small percent of defending. Even if that chance is extremely small, the fact that it's a possibility now makes me enjoy this more than before. Pre-poe, my level 53 team was owning level 60 teams :D, and like I said this isn't a strat game, it's just due to the AI being dumb. Why do people play games like hearthstone? There's a level skill to it(the skill level is far higher than this game), but it's also HIGHLY rng based.
And you're right about this "I would say that Poe would be less viable if the overall pacing of a battle was slowed down so that everything wasn't killed before taking action but that's not the current state of the game." And even as a Poe user and non-p2w player, if I had a choice of a nerf, it would be Poe, not because of the balance but because they spent thousands of dollars for FOTP. I would find it silly if the devs nerfed something people paid thousands of dollars for in a non-strategic game. Let them enjoy their op characters that they shelled out their thousand+ dollar for.
You're twisting my words. Saying the game needs to be balanced doesn't mean that I want 100% easy wins. It's already easy. I've placed rank 1 every day since I put gear 8 Poe in my lineup and he's only 5*. Most days I don't even drop below rank 10 on defense. Balance implies that the AI wouldn't be so dumb and the "best" team would be subjective because there would be multiple lineups with similar win rates. I think a balanced game would lead to a much harder time of scaling the Arena ladder and holding rank 1.
Also, I've never really said much about FOTP. Aside from his 3 attack glitch, there are other characters like GS, Resistance Pilot, Rey or even Greedo that can output ridiculous amounts of damage. I don't think the issue is the glass cannons as much as the speed that glass cannons are able to finish a battle. Until that is slowed down the meta will remain Poe + glass cannons + RNG
