There are many different views of what this game is, but the primary one you need to see is that the game is a marathon, if you don't want to be here for the long haul, you are probably in the wrong game.
It's not p2w, but it is p2p. A slight but visible distinction, this game time = money. You cannot buy a single advantage that someone cannot get over a longer period of time. People that have been playing for a long time can handle meta shifts without investment and still compete. There is not strict paywall, you can get anything in this game for free, with enough time and focus.
1- arena or squad power doesn't account for synergy, it is a mathematical approximation of how 'upgraded' a toon is and that's it. This is purely based on the investment into the toon, not the toons base stats or power or type of mods, or team synergy. It is almost baseless for a value to estimate a win ratio. All teams within about 20-30k of each other can win. This is also due to a not so I, AI.
2-there is a whole sub forum for issues and theories on how to play GW, check it out. There is also a dev statement about why it is the difficulty it is and other info demo their perspective.
3- there is a lot of different views on what balance is in this game. Not all toons are created equal, yes, but things do eb and flow. The meta will shift and spread, then shift and retreat, it is just the nature of the game. They don't want you to be able to play the whole game with the same 5 toons, it's a major part of thier goals and the fact that this is a collection game.
$$ and time are the only answers to 85% of the day to day problems we all face. Play or don't play is a personal choice we all make. Good luck and may the force be with you.
