Powercreep: how is swgoh handling it?

Moar Powercreep!!!!!!!!

They don‘t!
Otherwise they would have realized that a 50% nerf of expose makes no sense if the next raids has the double the hp again....

They just go with the flow, release the next toons and in doubt, nerf old toons to make newer toons stronger and more valuable...

Still my impression.... I bet Bossk will be a Sithraid Monster behind a massive pay/playwall

Right now (pre treya) we see a fairly diverse meta that allows a few teams to be able to hold their own.

I know there are concerns about treya, but as always it's a wait and see.

I think things have been heading in the right direction for a while as far as pvp is concerned, but that may be shard dependent.

Power creep is always present, and they have handled it well enough. Maybe a bump or 2 on the way.

Honestly from the information we have in hand I dont think that will be the case.

With the rework of 4 and the addition of one new one through a marquee, I see the inevitable path as, we will see a legendary requiring BH. Bossk may be good in the raid, but he will be behind the same paywall as other marquee.

With the cadence as stated there is no paywall that could be introduced beyond the ones already in place, unless a marquee is "required" for a legendary/hero event before he is farmable. But we have more than 5 BH already, so it may just be harder without him, but doable. Kinda like Thrawn, with the chopper/sabine debate.

Traya is really strong, although ZFinn RT Poe and Holdo pretty stomp over her. This does not take out that she has an incredible kit, and question is how CG is going to balance all this for the “long term health of the game”.

Their bussiness model relies on a certain amount of power creep and not balancing everything. It's a well known strategy and CG have great success with it.

GK is still viable. When he was first getting unlocked I hated facing him and wanted to unlock him ASAP.
Treyas kit looks crazy but as with everything time is the great leveler here. I know that’s probably the most hated answer on this forum but it is true.
Also I think this when the forums shine: putting together teams that oppose the super op ones.

I know for awhile traya teams will be the bane of the arena lol.. there's YouTube videos of the triumvirate going 3v5 against the current top favorites in the arena and beating them.

It’s just going to switch up the meta again because just cause teams beat them doesn’t mean they are areana viable at all. I think the real divider will be those with Sion and those without.

I also haven’t seen a video yet of Treya,Sion, Nihlas, MT and zombie lol

Traya has been unlocked for only a few days and I’m already tired of her. No one remembers KOTOR specifically for Traya, but now she is the best toon in the game hands down. Never have we seen a more blatant and overpowered counter to nearly every team in arena. A team can be overpowered, but there should always be a limit. A team with 3 toons should never be able to full auto another team on the same level. Traya is better than both CLS and RJT, 2 of the most exclusive and iconic characters in the game, and she is only a raid reward. We need an awesome reward for the sith raid, but this is too much. Once she is unlocked in a massive scale, all diversity in the game will be gone, and the teams that can win in offense will drop dozens of places overnight. “This is the end. We’re all doomed” -Sha’a Gi

I'm guessing BH(s) will roll her when they get their revamp
