The death of strategy in swgoh

Delta seems to have killed the entire basis of what attracted me to this game, beyond that it's star wars. I'd expect I'm not alone in that. A large part of what's made this game fun over the years is facing a difficult task, be that a strong pvp team, a difficult assault battle, a difficult character unlock event, etc, then reading kits, figuring out synergies, and developing creative strategies to overcome. That aspect of the game has seemingly died, by design. Tried a few different high relic comps against the assault battles yesterday, and it just didn't matter what my comps were anymore. My high relic characters were able to just brute force their way through everything. Did some tooling around in character events I'd preciously done, like the gas event, the DR and malak events, and the 3p0 event. Strategy is no longer necessary. Just take your characters to high relics and you're done. Which really means, open your wallet and your done. Thought is no longer required. Half my pvp defense is pretty well **bleep** because they're not all high relic across the board, so single members of the teams can be sniped out and the teams fall apart. That's not strategic. It requires no thought. By my view, the death of strategy in this game is the death of fun in this game. Well done CG. You've finally done it. You've sucked the last semblance of fun out of this game and have made it a daily chore. Well done.

    It's not well said. It's horribly formatted. What is that wall of text? OP, use paragraphs.

    Well said.

    I was hoping the Delta upgrade would not be as bad as predicted, but as you say, open your wallet, upgrade your relics and never lose.

    First GAC was disappointing. Opponent much lower GP, good characters, DC's and team comps. Obviously good strategist, but with lower relic levels sometimes one tap and they're gone. I guess this will level out over time (GAC matchups), but I also liked punching up.

    It was a fairly good ten year run for me as F2P, but this combined with the awful new character acquisition: nearly 100 days before I can use ST Luke anywhere but that god awful Coliseum...really? Lost interest.
