didn't expect to see a nerf unmasked thread, awesome ;)

If so, then I suggest that this actually could make for a considerably better game.

I like a mixture. I especially like characters that make me work, and learn, and develop before I can beat them.

Pretty sure I wouldn't have been playing this long if it wasn't the case.

Maybe every chacracter in the game should be exactly the same and super-weak.

Wouldn't that be a fantastic and fulfilling game to play?

Maybe make everyone of them Chewie.

I get what you're saying and agree, to an extent.
I do not agree with the OP and do not think KRU (or any other character) should be nerfed because a player hasn't figured out how to counter him, yet.
But if all characters were "super weak" as you call it, then none of them would actually be "super weak".
They would all be the same strength &, without something stronger to put them in the shade, maybe none of them would seem or appear to be weak?

First off, everything IS viable in TB. There is a need and incentive to get toons to 7* to make TB doable for max stars.

(almost) (looking at you CUP) every toon was viable at some point. Having everything viable at one point in not achievable in a PvP enviroment. How can you have strengths if there are no weaknesses? In adition to that, top tier toons are, for better or worse, sold to us by the game. So dont expect something to stay meta forever. It will serve its ultimate purpose to make way for the new breed of "meta" once it has held the top for long enough. There is a lot of diversity in this game viability-vise. You have CLS teams, JTR teams, rex teams, empire teams, sith teams, even jedi teams, wampa teams, defend-nihilus teams, NS teams, Talzin-Palpzin teams, Ewok teams, FO teams, and all of these can be seen trough multiple shards. Not to mention stand-alone fillers like GK, Rolo, R2D2 etc. Plenty of diversity to work with. This is a matter of figuring out what works. The tools are there, just have to learn how to use them, instead of trying to tighten a screw with a wrench.

I love having KRUM teams to go up against because I can turn on auto. If you are having that big of a problem, it may be the crap toons you have picked for your arena team. You can always farm him yourself.

I also like this aspect, but it kind of fits with my prior post, in that if this is what keeps you interested and there are only 4 or 5 teams to beat, due to the (**** limiting) existence of a META, wouldn't you prefer greater variety and have maybe 20 or 30 different team compositions, synergies and skills to figure out, than just the 4 or 5 that are "in" at the moment?
Wouldn't it be better to have to dig into your roster and find someone, maybe previously unused, who has the skills to defeat the specific team's skill-set that you're facing, rather than having 100 odd toons sitting there without any real viable use & maybe 25 - 30 who do?

I have to be honest, I rather feel that the meta-limitations only really exist at the top of the game. I'm certainly not up there so I see lots of variety in the Arena at the level I play it at.

Yes, the idea of digging in to one's roster is a nice one. But...when you have characters of differing abilities then you will always, by definition and design, have better ones and poorer ones. Of course.

I'm pretty pleased with my roster. I'm f2p and mid-game...and I'd say I've got good and effective Rebel, Empire, Sith, Phoenix, Trooper, Ewok, Nightsisters teams...

I know there are characters that I don't stand a chance against- at this point. But I'll get there, with hard work.

Everyone will, if they want to.

I love diversity but I also like to win so meta team it is

(almost) (looking at you CUP) every toon was viable at some point.

Even CUP has at least one thing going for him...

I'd think the thing to do would be to go to the new player help section and ask, "How does one take down KRU, he 4 on 1'd me" and get some constructive help.
As always, game like these tend towards increasing player frustration - not alleviating - as this is what turns a % of people into paying customers. The tiniest touch of humility and a simple question would get you way further.

I rarely see any FO teams in arena. When I do they are pushovers. Healing can never keep up with decent dps. I don't think the issue here is the little bit of healing ZKRU does.
I guess I'm questioning your arena team if you can't out dps KRUs heal.

I only have 1 KRU team in my shard around my rank and I beat it pretty easily with my Titans. Work on your arena team or mix it up a bit. Throw in somebody who stuns him, that helps out a lot.

If anything, buff KRU. I have him G12, good mods, both zetas. The best I can do against top teams is time-out. Make his stun undispellable to make him a decent counter to other important characters.
