Powercreep and the game - is it time to review it?

The counter character concern is a pretty valid concern. The reality in the recent meta is that synergies often aren't powerful enough to outperform just throwing fotm characters together and forming a nonsensical superteam. I mean, Rex/Kenobi/Nihilus/Chaze or some variation has been top tier for.... how long now? And frankly that team makes no sense. The irony there being that Luke is shifting the meta towards synergy teams again with his powerful rebel leadership, but who's to say your Bespin Vader wouldn't just be thrown in there with him regardless just like Nihilus/Kenobi were thrown in with Chaze...

That's a tough walnut to crack. I wouldn't mind making synergies more important, or flat out penalizing mixed ls/ds teams in arena, but I know a lot of people are adamantly against that so...
