High end Geos have long be a decent clean up team against weaken Rey, so with an omi on, it is not inconceivable that it can beat some Rey combo. I am pretty sure there is also some Rey combo that is not easily beatable even without the nerf. So the argument it wasn’t intended without clearly stated so is not a good argument.

In term of the investigation on this omi after it is released, I don’t think CG stated clearly that beating GL is unintended. The omi had clearly unintended behavior as it is active in squad arena too, not just in TW. So CG’s message was thought to address that bug. Again, it is just CG incompetence without sufficiently testing.

Again, I highly doubt that CG would want to have an old team everyone has counter a GL with just the addition of an omicron and, given the amount of time and resources it takes to farm a GL, nor should they....

They should definitely test their stuff better before release, I can agree with that and could even agree on possibly refunding the mats as they did for Traya... But I also think players who thought they would let GEOS stand as a GL counter were naiive at best...

Once again you've stumbled on the wrong way of looking at things. So the players are naive - (apparently). It's CG that develop Omicrons - presumably test them and release them into the game.

But it's 'naive' on behalf of the players to think CG had actually considered certain interactions during development. Therefore players should just always expect CG screwed up - and therefore expect a nerf.

Yep, that's a player issue right there. No onus on the developers.
.....

Try reading everything I posted, or are the cracks in your phone screen blocking stuff again?

I clearly said CG should have tested their stuff before release... And yes, I still think any player that really thought a years old team that everyone has would be allowed to consistenly beat a GL with just an Omicron is naiive...

Still ignoring Phasma, huh?

Well if some of the "players" didn't run their mouth when they shouldn't have, there would probably still be a beta program to play test comps and find some of this out early.
Instead we are left with what we got.
There are comments all the time that CG doesn't know how to play the game and than expectations that properly balance test units/teams.

They need a beta program to test for things like this yet seems ever time someone has to go leak stuff and get it all shutdown.

Absolutely.... I couldn't have said it better.....

I still think they could do a better job, but that being said, How does an army of a few compete against millions when it come sto all of these interactions?....

Most bugs/interactions are easily found/seen by simply throwing it into the battle 1 time and see it play out - something like the Merrin animation bug is seen immediately but obviously they dont care anymore about stuff being released bugged. And while some bugs/interactions are more complex and difficult to discover where I agree with your point that a mass of ppl will have an easier time spotting those things, the other stuff (Exe release, oQGJ, oTraya, oPoggle, etc.) only takes 5min of playtesting.

So basically what I reading is I shouldn't have omi my poggle? Lmao just my luck

Still a great Omi IMOP

For you and your guild maybe. For top guilds the selling point was the GL slaying ability.
