That's why I always suggest that unless you're willing to spend a whole bunch of money on getting the newest hottest every time it comes out, that you should just farm whatever you like. Get the characters you want, gear them, play with them, do as well as you can and go as far as you can with them. Eventually you'll plateau around 200-100 in Arena, but you'll always be good in other areas of the game because you've got a deep, deep bench of characters that aren't meta, and new content is usually created with the intent of making non-meta characters useful.
Very well put. I agree.
Also - if you have a wide range of squads at a decent level, they will come into their own with one challenge or another. A challenge will pop up and you will already be prepared more or less...no need to panic farm.
This is not to say however that one should be working on a range of squads at the same time. Quite the opposite. Focus on one - grind, grind, grind. Then move onto another...the process takes months rather than weeks. (Ok, I don't always practise what I preach...I normally work on a couple of squads if I'm not directly working towards something specific.
