That only reflects what people use at the time of payout. So basically nothing, just the squad needed to drop the people who were at 1st before.
There is no “one” meta , you need 3/4 squads to compete. EP to beat Luke, NS/Rex to beat JTR, IT to beat NS, Luke and JTR for less surgical purposes.
I think its healthy, and at least in my shard you see people using multiple teams while climbing. I know i do. You will have a hard time avoiding squads if you are a one trick pony.

Btw, Bb8 firing ID after a couple turns, whats the deal with that?

lmao, what?

I believe he means that the way the graph is made is that the database records what squad was being used at the time of payout - effectively the last squad you used - and it only reflects part of the climb. Not sure if the 3/4 squad part is true, but you definitely use more than 5 toons in a single day of PvP right?

Arena isn't tw lol. You can use the same squad as many times as you like.

I would think that usually your last fight before your payout would be the last fight of the day. And that's when you usually put your best defense squad one trick pony or not.

what if you are trying to snipe that #1 payout?

If you can't even win on offense with that squad, what makes you think the AI can even use it to defend for you?

We are playing on diferent levels of the game. My shard is still dominated by phoenix squads that can hold their own for 5 minutes and get a draw (level 73)

I've been a DS user for a long time and played NS or NS + EP prior to the rework (though now I'm running RJT) and a big reason is I hate mirror matches ... my LB has long been a strong predictor of where .gg ends up going on the leads and for a week or so now maybe we've been HEAVY with EP. Right now 8/10 of my top 10 are EP leads. 14/20 of top 20 are EP leads...when the numbers on a lead like that start heading north of 70% that's getting toward peak CLS-usage territory and 3x cleanse or Maul at his brief peak. So I'm happy to see them get their shine, but I can't bring myself to join that level of mirror-match issues in arena.

I see in the graphs many Ventress leads, I thought she was good just as part of the team with Talzin lead. What is a good Arena team with Ventress lead?
