I would not be in such a hurry for DarkRevan and another meta as surely this will break the game even more. You need him to be more powerfull than Revan. This means some 1500 text chars in his leader ability + more revives, damage immunities, dispells etc etc.
The only way to repair the game is to nerf revan/jolee but that will never happen. So when DarkRevan comes we will have 6 months of another top100 same teams, and then another 6 months of top400 same teams.
Unfortunately, I fear the same. That's part of the concern with these huge power spikes (as opposed to the "power creep", which was the norm up until about 18 months ago). The big power spikes simply make more and more of the previous characters and their abilities obsolete.
That's why long-time whales are leaving the game - they see the characters/ships they invested in (with real money) a year or two ago now sitting on their bench, useless. People used to say Chaze (when they were p2p) was OP and would "always have a place in the meta"...then they said the same about Thrawn. Or even look at CLS and JTR. Sure, some of those characters are strong in certain raid combinations - and you can even occasionally spot 1 or 2 top teams in arena. But now all pale in comparison to Revan...or even Traya.
The same is the case in ships - first with HT and now with HMF.
It's not really an enjoyable game to have 160+ characters that are 7* - with 100 being g10 or higher, when you only use the same 3 or 4 teams for everything. Same in fleet - what's the point of 30 or 40 ships, if all that matters is who has HT and HMF? If "power spikes" continue to be the norm, this will only get worse.
That's the long term problem for CG - because it's the reason launch players (and especially launch whales) have already left, and why that sentiment is picking up speed.
