Revan complaints make me laugh

When Revan first came out people were crying that he wasnt op enough he couldnt easily beat Traya.
Then people learned how to use him the complaints stopped.

Now again the complaints have started, this time because he is widely available.
The guys previously at the top of arena e.g cheating shard chats, can no longer easily maintain their positions and they dont like it.
Although I agree that mirror matches are tedious but at least now people who are not in chats or whales can get top 50+ if they are willing to spend the time.

    This. Games are supposed to be fun. Fighting the exact same team over and over again 5-10 times...then fighting the same team in GA and TW...yeah, that's not fun. Whatever.

    CG has decided that a single dominant meta is their go-to MO for easy whale-milking pro-strats. So that's what we're stuck with.


    There has always been a dominant team. Your argument is that revan is now widely available.
    You basically want to have the meta team while no one else does.



    Wow - that might have been the most off-base and incorrect summary of my position ever posted on these forums. And that's quite a feat in 3+ years.

    First off, there has never been a team that has been as so ridiculously prevalent (82% in the top 100 - 87% of all #1 teams) - that's mind-numbingly boring. Second, I own Revan, but don't run him in arena - I actually run my CLS squad on offense, because the mirror matches are long, boring and way too RNG dependent.

    My argument is that Revan is OP by design and that is exactly how CG wants it. No character has been this dominant (OP) and this prominent at the same time. Not in the 3+ years I have played has arena looked this ridiculously boring for this long. That's my argument. I still finish #1. I have finished #1 since May of 2016 whenever I want - and I have been f2p for 18+ months. It has nothing to do with wanting to have what no one else has. It's about wanting some degree of diversity and choice - right now, players have none.

    CG just manipulates the meta to milk the whales. Then simply repeats the cycle of "Release OP arena meta-defining charact (or ship) -> milk whales -> repeat." It's getting old. Fast.


    100% agree with you. Very well said and on point. ?

    The argument is that this is the least diverse meta capturing 87% of the share. That’s as unbalanced as we’ve seen. This game and arena operates best and is way more fun when you have some paper, rock and scissors options that are reliable and won’t drop 50+ spots overnight


    It's actually super balanced, since everyone has the freaking team.
    Anyway, you're just proving his point; it's only fun when not everyone has the best team. The whole rock-paper-scissors thingy has never happened. There was always a team, lets say a rock, who could easily smash paper teams. Sure, the paper team had an easier time on offense vs said rock team than the scissor team, which may not even be able to beat the rock team, but the rock team was dominant nontheless, just not as commonly used for whatever reason.


    You couldn’t be further from my point. My point is arena is fun when there’s diversity. I’ve akways had the best team because I’ll pay for it. 48/50 Revan is not diversity and 80+% concentration is not fun. It would be one thing if these matches were <60 seconds like titans but 2-4 minutes of killing the same toon 3 times or constantly going around foresight is annoying and boring


    You're proving his point once again.
    The only reason it has been diverse is because not everyone had the best team, not because there wasn't a best team. You even acknowledged you always had the best team, which implies that all other teams were inferior. May i remind you that there was (way more) diversity prior to revan's return.
    Obviously arena is more fun if it's diverse, unless that means you drop further in rank on def, that's why everyone and their uncle uses revan.


    It implies that my mods are substantially better than everyone else in my shard. They were inferior because my team always goes first. I don’t drop out of the top 10. My point is a meta that controls 87% of the top spot isn’t balanced and I’d like to see that changed



    So you didn't unlock revan when he got released, but you just had better mods? Somehow i doubt that.
    Anyway, i feel like you don't understand what others are saying, but others do understand what you're saying. Repeating ourselves seems futile at this point, so i'll just leave it at that.
