Tenacity Up is slowly killing this game!
Tenacity Up (as it is now: debuff immunity, and how easily available it is) is shutting down about one third of the creative possibilities of this game. What is this game about? Kill your opponents...

you do realize that sith teams also give a multitude of other teams a tough life right? It takes more than just tenacity up to counter those teams, the triple cleanse team being a prime example of just how much it took to push zmaul out of the meta. 3(!) cleansers, and 2(!) tenacity up characters were needed to stop the barrage of debuffs. (this was before r2 was released, who obviously has a way bigger impact vs zmaul teams than tenacity up)
Yes of course. I should know, I was running Empire and I remember gradually losing it against the Sith teams. I'm actually not sure why cleanse and tenacity are much of a problem to Siths. They do debuffs, but that's not their main bread & butter like Empire (well, it is to Palp, which runs for both). Unless... (see below)

Also, if you're running zmaul and the opposing team gets "drain force" of first, you're doing something wrong. That has nothing to do with tenacity up, as a matter of fact "drain force" is a hard counter to tenacity up.
It's not Drain Force, it's Annihilate. Well, they're related: the DN on the Sith side will Drain Force against a wall of Tenacity Up and score 2 or 3 (countdown on Annihilate, and effectively ability block), while the one on the cleansers side will hit 5/5 debuffed (by health down if nothing else) toons, and so will Annihilate before the Sith one.
