No offence to OP, but.... why do you have to great at every facet of the game? Seems like a frivolous complaint.
I'm a laser-focused player. It's taken me a long time to be able to contribute to TW like my other guildmates, to do as much damage in the raids. My guildmates who used the Maximize-my-GP strategy have been wrecking for a lot longer than I have. Now, Grand Arena comes up and I'm doing really well (I took 2nd in two and 1st in one) and they're having mixed results.
Like Kyno said, it isn't a punishment to you and other players with bloated rosters. It's just a side-effect of a new dynamic in the game. Not every aspect of this game needs to be catered to you and not everything needs to be convenient. Fairness and convenience are not synonymous.
If you want convenience, you can buy it from EA.
Actually, that's the opposite of the problem. I was hoping for one type of pvp mode that I could actually be great at. Arena and Fleet Arena heavily favor players who put all their efforts into as few characters as possible. TW is the same- get the right defensive team set and it doesn't matter that you only put down one.
A laser-focus is not bad. It should not be punished. I do not want to change the existing game modes to cater to me. I purposely built my account to hit as many events as possible, and that I can do well.
The issue I suppose is expectations. I had thought GA would be a pvp mode that less-focused accounts could actually compete in, as they would compete against each other while more focused accounts competed against each other. As it stands, GA is a pvp mode that favors the same play style as the other arena modes. As mentioned in one of my admittedly-long posts above, if that is what CG was aiming for then they shouldn't change anything. If they want more competitive matchups, the existing matchmaker needs to be changed.
As the dev team stated, (paraphrasing), you can test yourself to be the beat in your shard, GA is here to see who is the best in SWGOH. So I think that pretty much shows what they are looking for.
I would also think that a wider roster is more rewarded here than in arena, because you will get use of your width, but if your goal was width you are not going to be as competitive as those that focused on this style of TW game play.
