Revan problems and solutions aug 2019

1) I know this has been mentioned before but this is a nearly aug 2019 opinion and it still needs to be raised
2) revan teams are still breaking the game

Why? I am currently in horrible mismatched TW (168mil v 206 mil, 4xg13 toons v army of g13 toons). Not the problem but worth noting.
Anyway, in such a mismatch, our guild made attack stage a practice rather than full compulsory.
A high level (but not full power) DR team was knocked down to just DR, badstila and HK (all g13).
I practiced against these 3 toons with every tier 2/3 team I had (not cls or JKR). That 3 still beat easily good resistance/OR/scoundrel/ewok/troopers/traya/seps/ FO/ NS/ lesser DR team/ 92k padme team. All teams mix of g11/12 and >200 speed. (I am 4.7 GP)
Did devs not actually do testing of this meta against non-meta? This was a massacre. How can every good tier 2/3 team in game not beat a half meta team?
Is revan the problem? I don’t think so. Personally main problem is jolee mass res and DR team (with badstila) ability to make entire team skip a go are the problem dynamics. Please look at fixing both these dynamics and I think this will fix 90% of TW,GA, arena issues.

    You couldn't beat a gimped dr team without malak with all those teams? hmmm


    Let me explain how the match goes, they all get first turns with pre loaded TM which gives them 5 stacks of feriocity with DR leadership means +75 speed, now if they have not yet infliced fear with that massive speed boost they will soon and as soon as the fear lands then it's over. As their ferocity stacks their speed spikes with their damage output. It's simple really but there is nothing you can do corrupted BM will be applied so there is no way of debuffing, shock and fear will not be far off and their speed only increases with their damage output therefore you lose any chance of winning without Revan or CLS to clean up. Maybe grevious could do something but you would need G13 to have any chance and thats hoping they dont kill him before he gets a turn.


    So you're convinced you can't win vs those 3 if you don't have cls, revan or g13(!) grievous? hmmm


    Oh im missing Padme if that is what you are getting at, she is very forgettable though what a boring team it is...


    Do you are moaning that you didnt think to try for the only fear resistant toon in the whole game? Boring the padme team is not...watching snips 1 shot darth revan is not boring. What is boring is listening to players whine because they have no foresight or tactical know how!

    Teams that can beat DR easily:
    GR under padme
    JKR
    G13 Grievous (with IG-88/HK lead, BB8, T3, and L3)

    Teams that can beat trio easily (even with preloaded turn meter):
    GR under padme
    JKR with pretaunt
    CLS, Han, Chewie, 3PO, pretaunt (baze would be good)
    And really good team with a pretaunt.

    If you keep banging your head against the wall fighting a team that everyone else seems to be able to beat, change your tactics. Namely, if DR has preloaded TM you NEED to bring in a pretaunt character to prevent him from applying insanity to your entire team. Focus fire on dbastila, once she’s gone the team will fall apart.


    You are still missing the point. You need meta to take down a half meta team barring god mods and rng gods. You are right, cls and JKR both would work in this scenario. I could have used either. GR only work if highly geared/modded., same for GG. That is not the point. It’s really simple, you still need top tier teams to take out half a top tier team. That is not right. A preloaded 60-65k leftover meta team should not walk over a well modded 100k tier 2 team. End of. It’s what has unbalanced the game.
  • If you want to destroy DR teams use padme. DR is a dominant team atm but there will be one more dominant , there always is.... Folks said the same thing forever when CLS came out that you are saying now. It's only temporary until another beast team comes, and it will. Also I got my butt kicked by a GG team with my DR but padme is my hardest match to beat.
  • If no one has said this I will.

    Padme g12 can counter g12 Revans
    However if you think your g12 Padme team can compete with g13 DR/Malak then that is foolish.

    But that right there is the problem. Who wants to lvl up Padme to counter Malak when you have other toons who are higher priority.

    Honestly I find GG suicide squad as a better counter to Malak because 1 you win or it's just Malak left over. Using GG you lose your JKR counter, and let's be real everyone and their mom uses JKR on D.
  • But none of the Revans is the problem, it was the same back then when losing with golden squads against rebels with a g8 CLS, as long as he had his zetas. Power creep is the real problem and that's a long-term thing.

    This I do agree with. Meta teams have not broken arena, which is really just who has the best meta. It just makes arena boring. But it has broken TW and to a lesser extent GA.
  • https://youtu.be/cuttiKLrKMc does ferocity apply correct here cause as I can see bastila does have the 5stucks before opponent dreavan takes a turn but the debuff doesn’t give any speed as I can see.It is helpful in x0,25 speed
