GG blitz is it really balanced?

Is a team balanced which has speed advantage and one shots the current meta in first 5 seconds?
Basically T3 8% crit dmg gets to quad damage due to DR lead giving out 5-10 stacks to each member of debuffs (50 debuts increase critical damage by 400%). Basically the current meta leader DR beats the own team by himself and we have an AOE one shot fest - is this gameplay you are aiming for? Remember the full team is easy to obtain and good mods are neither required. Share your opinion!

    Completely disagree.

    The few months prior to the traya meta, early 2018, arena was super fun. The top 50 had so much diversity and we were theory crafting and trying out new combos daily.

    It was more than Rock Paper Scissors, with so many options. To me, that was a lot more fun than basically 4-5 predetermined teams.

    As they add new chars and upgrade kits, maybe we’ll see that again, I certainly hope so.

    Literally almost nothing else?

    I used it in this TW to beat something else. Didn't even lose anything.

    OK. If you want to not utilize your roster effectively that's your call.

    Is a team that is meta ever balanced seeying as it's apparantly better than everyting else ingame at a certain point in time?
    For me i'm fine with pretty much everything as long as it can be defeated reasonably consistandly with a team consisting out of different characters, roughly equally modded and geared. Both the current meta and the GG team are fine by that standard.
    That being said, having a lot of "cheese" counters that can relatively easy beat the meta teams definately has it's downsides. Having arena turn into the refresh-olympics because everyone can cheese their way to #1 would suck, even if it meant more diversity. So eventhough i'm fine with GG at the moment on principle, if there are too many teams like that i personally wouldn't like it.
  • Run correctly, gg droids are a great theory crafted team that take advantage of the Sith empire's only weakness.

    It's also not a hard counter. Sith empire can easily beat it on attack. This is a non-issue.
  • Doesn't matter ... I beat these teams with my DR/Malak team every day. Heck, I even target them to avoid having to check speeds and mods on the enemy DR/Malak team.

    Despite having an ultra competitive arena shard, there is not a single GG Nuke team, that beats me on defense. Because GG doesn't start with this crawling-move but uses the AOE first time he gets, he doesn't have enough punch to OHKO anything on my team on his first attack.

    Once GG gets to go again, I have usually lost 1-2 toons and cleared 2-3 enemy droids so even if T3 is still alive, the amount of debuffs are not high enough for GG to clear my team. Worst case I end up with Malak left vs. a GG without protection. Guess how that goes...

    Often I manage to get rid of T3 or GG earlier on, and then it could just as well have been ewoks or jawas for the rest of the match.
  • Are you seriously asking if a cheese composition that beats one specific team and loses against all others is unbalanced?

    Figure it out, mate.
