Rework Reveal: Jedi Knight Anakin

I can see that this is how the rework should have turned out in the first place. However, I don't think Anakin was that much of a threat to the new meta when looking at this:



Granted, not every JKR owner had Anakin arena-ready or at all. But on the other hand, not all Darth Revan owners have Malak, and those who do have him unlocked may be a long way from 7-starring and fully zeta-ing him. Was it really so bad to have some semblance of a rock, paper, scissors arena? Is it really necessary that the extremely offensive new meta is also unbeatable on defense and bound to become as depressingly dominant as JKR used to be?

ETA: Also, shouldn't this thread be under Dev Announcement and News?
