What happened to promoting diversity?

I seem to recall when one of the devs did his YouTube tour, he mentioned wanting to promote more diversity in arena, such as by introducing NS reworks, JTR, etc.

Now they release Holdo, who by all accounts will be a very strong Tank for JTR teams and has abilities that directly counter the other two meta squads (NS and CLS). I can only imagine how OP this team will be when paired with GK (having two tanks that auto-taunt with over 100,000 Health/protection each).

JTR teams are already dominating arena (SWGOH.GG meta report shows that team with almost 50% share in finishing number 1). So adding another strong tank to JTR teams will only further dilute any diversity in arena and likely result in the same uniformity we saw after CLS was released just a few months ago.

So I have to ask, what happened to the goal of promoting diversity?

    Actually they just made one of the weakest characters in this game a tank and gave them the most total health and protection of any character... This makes me feel bad in my robotic soul.

    I play from august last year and until now my opinion on how devs handle this releases is really bad.

    1. they release CLS. two times stronger then any other toon, can solo Rancor and do crazy things in AAT. Top 50 arenas were all CLS teams.

    2. they release NS. 3* G7 zMT teams can now win against full G12 teams. Especially CLS ones. I know is hard for you to believe that, so in order to prove it let's make it happen in the Marquee Event. You want more? Here you have a zombie + acolyte combo.

    3. They release JTR. They invented them self the veterean smugglers because money.

    4. JTR goes combo with BB8 and R2. Remember the Biggs combo? Now we have 3 chars attacking together every 2 seconds and to make them less "cannon glass" then Wiggs they gain foresight every 1,5 seconds.

    5. Devs are deeply sorry with the community for not completely eliminating CLS teams from top 50 arenas. In order to "make arenas great again" they will release a new tank as Old Ben and GK still can loose a fight now and then. Let eliminate than risk.
