What's changed in two months?
After a two month hiatus, I notice very few significant changes - Palpatine was released (and you need rebels to get him?), I'm (temporarily) guildless, and after playing for a few days, I am far less...

Ok a couple of corrections.
First, Tanks are not useless. BUT, The taunt + TM manipulation that STH ans POE provide make it important that they go first and usually is a big determining factor in the outcome of an arena match. The meta is now more annoying than dodge ever was. It is now speed. The person who gets the luckiest on secondary speed mods usually wins. This next one is important.
Second, @ShaolinPunk was right, there is a reasonable amount of variety in arena but most of the top teams still have 5 of only 7-10 characters on them. They toons are different, sure. Also, anyone CAN win in arena, this is and has been true since the beginning of the game. However, the likelihood of winning even against the AI is directly tied to your secondary speed on mods for the most part. Which means, until you either get incredibly lucky or spend $100's-$1000's on mods, you won't beat the top teams on your shard. This is a HUGE difference from before.
We are back to the time before protection where whoever has the most speed usually wins and Wedge/Biggs synergy OHKO's almost any toon with less than 50K health, and they go before almost everyone. Have fun:)
