Powercreep: how is swgoh handling it?
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 ...

Never have we seen a more blatant and overpowered counter to nearly every team in arena.
Except Droids+Poe when the game first started... and Dooku lead with Rey shortly after... and Wegde+Biggs after that which eventually morphed into the Danger Zone squad... and the Palpatine meta that killed that off... and the Zaul meta that emerged after Zetas came out... and the triple cleanse that mostly killed that off... and the CLS+R2 meta that finished the job... and the JTR meta... and the most recent Zeta Palpatine meta.
So basically 90% of all major arena shifts have been OP, and gutted most other squads to some degree. Anyone remember Chirrut and Baze beating other meta teams 2 vs 5 with no leader ability? Yeah that wasn't fun. But we will adapt, survive, and overcome.
Many of those metas weren't blatantly overpowered like traya appears to be. Dooku/Rey was more annoying than overpowered, and wiggs could be beat by droids, Rex, and Jedi teams.
Traya looks like she's similar to how chaze was but at least when chaze came out they also released zeta abilities at the same time, so people who were smart with farming zetas could keep in step. I don't see anything like that so far
How about we wait until she is actually in the game before pronouncing with such certainty that the sky is falling.
Also several of those metas were far, far worse than you are admitting. There was a time when the top 50 of my arena was 47 Dookus, and 3 QGJs. Rey was the only instakill in the game doing 2-3 times the damage of any other attacker. It wasn't, "annoying." It was THE only viable team.
CLS was the worst in the history of the game as far as I recall. The SWGOH.gg meta report looked like a blue Packman eating all other teams.
And Chase could literally 2 vs 5 anything in existence at the time they were released.
So if Treya destroys the meta I won't be surprised. It's happened repeatedly. But it's not some new, shocking event that's never occurred before. And I actually want to see it happen before I believe it. Once she's in the wild, players will find the cracks in her armor if any exist.
Total exaggerations. What made dooku/Rey annoying is that you would kill Rey only to have her get revived by daka for no reason, or get stuck behind royal guards auto taunt, because your best dispelled was qui gon Jin who was on cooldowns. In other words it was simply an rng fest, just like now
And CLS was not the worst meta ever, not even close. CLS teams had glaring weaknesses that a smart player could exploit. At the height of the CLS meta, you could run CLS teams, kenobi/zarris, ackbar/hoda, KRU first order, ewoks, or several different nightsister variants and still compete for top tier arena. Thats much better diversity than most arena metas we've seen
