Relic Delta is Not Looking Good

Just tried my first round of GAC with relic delta and it seems as bad as we'd feared.  The main effect is that Galactic Legends are almost impossible to beat with off-meta counters. Most people have their legends up to r9. So unless you have, say, R9 wampa, he can't beat JTH. Unless you have your entire Cere team at r9, she can't scratch Rey. Unless your entire Mando team is at r9, they're dead against LV. The only counters to legends are other legends. So if you lose a match, too bad, GAC is over for you.

This has made r9 tanks impossible to beat without r9 attackers. Their high defense already makes them hard to kill. Relic delta has amplified their defense enormously.

Support characters are useless now unless at r9. I've used Hyoda at r5 for years in support. Now, the first AOE takes him out.

Every tester said not to do this. They didn't listen. I don't spend a lot on this game but the wallet is closed as long as this is in the game. It's the worst pay-to-win yet.

    Very similar experience for me. Totally bummed about this update.

  • Same issue here, couldn't beat "glat" with great mothers, 1st ever time losing to her with them, then tried BKM with leia assist cron, got WALKED over hard. And yes, the ramping on other GL's is brutal. Standar rey team (no ezra) took me 3 tries. Leia with a triple prot cron took another 3, but was able to clean up with sith emps, took awhile though, 4  of the 5 were at r9. This is just really really bad, games gone from p2w to p2p :(

  • It looks like it become truly pay-to-win game. Just laughing at what devs are said about this relic delta and "how we (you) need this thing!!!!". Faced few times R8-R9, its just over for any good matchups and tactics, relics are higher - you lose. Ridiculous logic. They just didn't have good sells of newest characters and relic packs. And also remember how they started selling R7 LSB of different characters and even squads? Now they are useless in most cases. I don't think devs are controlling anything, it's EA politics, every EA game become trash over years. All this forum is obsolete, they don't hear players.

  • 100%.  MSF should have been the litmus for CG to see how bad this was going over.  And further, why Blizzard Entertainment found a better solution and didn’t put it in WOW.  

  • One of the best things about this game was the theory-crafting, seeing smart players (not me) figure out what combination of mods and strategy could make a team punch above their weight. All out the window now.

  • I truly don’t understand killing both PVP AND PVE at the same time with one update. 

  • So are you saying even an R5 Wampa with her Focused DC can't solo Jabba anymore????
