I also realize it's only been 3 GA's, so it's entirely possible I've just been matched with really top heavy players that have skewed my view of how this will continue.
It's just frustrating seeing what you're up against and realizing that my choice to not sit on materials has come up as a disadvantage in a game mode that was just introduced, which is truly disappointing.
I really like the idea, it just needs adjusting.
Making the small changes to exclude characters under a certain GP would only help those who are disadvantaged. But still not really disadvantage the top heavy folks.
Kyno says "Why should the top heavy roster player lose their advantage?"
To which I reply, "Why should players who don't sit on 1000's of materials be disadvantaged?"
No matter how you look at it, it can be improved to better suit a wider range of players. If it truly wasn't a problem within the player base, there wouldn't be this many threads about it.
I'd go a step further.
If grand arena is supposed to be an actual test of skill and strategy why should anyone have an advantage generated arbitrarily by a lazy matching system?
I've had match ups where in comparing top 70 toons I've had 500k less GP than my opponent. Not even close to fair.
I've also had a match against someone with an even broader and less top heavy roster than me and I stomped them. I imagine they have been continually stomped upon.
GA so far is essentially being determined on who has the best top 70 or so toons. And very little to do with strategy because it can only get you so far.
It makes no sense to match on total GP.
Those defending this. Turn the tables.
Next GA you can only use your 70 lowest GP toons. And no, you are not allowed to do anything to gear or level them up because we'll say there is no way to add gear now. Mirror situation of what some are facing.
Think that's fair? Because its essenrially the same. your g1 L1 toons have as much chance against my g5 l85 toons as those g5 l85 toons have against your g12 l85 toons
