JMK breaks the status quo.
So as more JMK teams fill my arena shard, most of which are now running all relic 8s including relic 7-8 CAT I can say this is the GL that broke the balance. Maybe with exception of Rey there was wigg...

I see a lot of different opinions and really can relate to most of them.
Many players like the fact they have the option to splurge time or money or both to put it on cruise control. I get this.
I’m a 6.5 mil player with SLKR and SEE. I’m not super hardcore, spend a little here and there but probably barely make the status of a minnow. One thing RPS allowed for was me not to have to rush anything but could still maintain some ease in arena.
But it was nice because you could remain relevant with a couple GLs and weave through depending on what you used. Of course there were those that hated there wasn’t one ring to rule them all they could plug and okay, with little to no effort and keep reaping 500 crystals a day.
I think what JMK represents is a kin to a slap in the face for those of us that focused SEE. That monstrous mega thread of complaints and issues with SEE were constantly stifled as we were told over and over again it was being monitored and of course it just slowly dwindled away. Insert Kenobi- we now have a GL (light side of course) that literally hard counters SEE who’s only purpose was to counter Jedis. Yes we all know SEE has compositions that can still win, not even close to reliably and quickly become very futile if those off comps are low or non reliced. But yes all current GLs can beat Kenobies…but at best running about a 1 in 3 chance the more that fill the shard the more it becomes too costly to bother trying. It’s a massive disparity compared to previous power gaps, which contradicts the idea GLs would have. Mods of course also play a significant role here.
Do I think it will change? God no, CG does what CG does. It is becoming more and more difficult to avoid paywalls if you didn’t start from the beginning or you never take a break. If you want to catch up to the meta you will pay. I found it hilarious when they added Bando to the feats in GCs to red box. So I bit my lip and pumped some money to finish his journey and I could just throw him into a strong team and get completion credit even if he wasn’t strong. Like two GCs later it was Bando has to deal 100k or 300k damage and I almost came unglued lol.
