Relic Delta
I wanted to wait for it to come out before making my assessments. Well, I can say with certainty that you've taken one of the best "combat" systems in mobile gaming and thrown it in the trash. You'v...

ZanirN7S Okay, that is well thought out argument in favor of Relic Delta... But I counter you with why Relic Delta even needed to exist?
Yes, Relics are more accessible, but CG could have done without Relic Delta Entirely.
I counter that there would be infinitely more unique and fun gameplay when a G12 Character can take out a R9 Character under the right circumstances (See JKCK v. Malgus). There would be so much more theory crafting than just the narrowed perspective of "if you want this established counter to work you have to drop everything you were doing to re-build that counter up to the new standard (in your argument R7)".
So while you do present a fair argument, I counter that CG could have made Relics more accessible without Relic Delta and gotten a much more diverse meta that did not focus heavily on how much money/time/resources spent in the game.
Relic Delta essentially kills the enjoyment for the widest swath of players in SWGoH which are the casual players who maybe spend between $5 and $50 a month as well as the F2P Players using every match-up advantage they can find to win.
I wasn't necessarily defending relic delta (although I've taken the stance of being in favor of it out of sheer petty contrarianism 😆). I was trying to show that we needn't despair. Yes, RD is gonna require higher relics across the board to be competitive. However, those higher relics are now much more accessible.
I think that a year from now, it's quite possible that we'll have settled into a new equilibrium where mid and endgame players just bring every new character to R7 minimum, simply because they will have the relic materials to spare, so there won't be any point in stopping at R5.

==> I think that a year from now, It's quite (more) possible that the game no longer exists. May be couple months is enough.The game is dying! Again! This time for realsies!

Marvel Strike Force lost 100,000 players when they introduced their version of Relic Delta. Furthermore death isn't typically instantaneous but rather a progression. The game has been in decline for years and there's a multitude of grave issues around this which is crashing community morale and pushing players away. For a game struggling to attract new players this doesn't bode well and will likely accelerate the downward trend unless addressed in a real and meaningful way.
The sharp change in monetization strikes me as a move of desperation by CG and that doesn't bode well.
