Tired of Arena Meta

It's no different now, than when Wiggs was the meta, only the names have changed. Regardless of the new hero to counter it with go faster stripes, a month or so and we'll be complaining about that meta, then the next, rinse and repeat. The core of he game is built on releasing a new hero to counter existing ones. This will go on until players that spend to win get off the hamster wheel and move on. (Which judging from the fall in rank of SWGOH from a stable #11 last year, to #25 or so today, and as low as #48 in the last month has begun). CG is rumored to have a new game in the works, so it will hold their focus. Just like SWGOH did when HoDA was their only game. As one dev there has said when asked if focus had shifted to a new game, "It is what we do..".

Not true with the Wiggs meta. Or the GK/Zarriss meta. Of course there is generally a single meta, BUT, the difference now is everyone in the top 100+ uses Revan. It was never, ever, like this before. SWGG has the meta report at 89% Revan (the other 11% make up the counter squads that people use to beat Revan, and then I'm sure the last thing they do is switch back to Revan for a chance at holding). Wiggs was never that high, nor Traya, etc, etc. With Wiggs and other above mentioned there were at least 4-5 squads that could not only beat Wiggs, but could hold their own (as much as any squad ever does) on defense. The fact, that just looking at my arena right now, 1-50 are all Revan.proves that this meta is unlike any other seen in the game, and knowing that Revan's "Counter" will be coming will just continue the trend.

This is exactly correct. The meta (actually, in both squad and fleet) has never been this single-team dominated...nor has it ever been this boring. The game is actually significantly less fun in those two areas then it has been in the past 3 years at any point. And it really isn't close. And dozens of shard-chat and guildmates are echoing those sentiment.
