Variety is Overrated

Who cares if every single player uses the same exact team? It's impossible to make every single toon and every single team composition equally balanced. If there's even the slightest advantage of using certain toons, most people will use them.

Those who claim to be anti-meta are like the wannabe hipsters in Brooklyn.

I just love how binary that statement is.
"Same exact team for everyone" or "every team composition equally balanced".

There is a middle ground you know, and it's not that hard to achieve. EA reduces the amount of viable teams on purpose, to keep the game environment under control. Then they release toons that can entirely dominate this environment, and grab cash.

They articulate the meta around a tank/dispell interaction, then release Sun Fac who can do both, consistently.
They also include 40 RG shards in the raid pack, you are tempted to buy it.

They release small balance changes, ie Ackbar, to pump up Chromium toons (Leia), and, what a surprise, you also see Ackbar in the Raid pack.

EA/CG know exactly what they are doing marketing-wise. Their sale strategy is effective and pretty smart.

What's the funniest is that players themselves agree to this. Since it takes time to farm toons, most people are afraid of change

Perfect balance doesn't exist, but that should not stop us from trying to reach it.
