Most of the people don't like coin flip, or winning chance decide by RNG factor. It's like the sith drama, fighting against each other. It is sith faction that destroy themself.Fyi i'm at mid 2016 leaderboard. There is around 20 rex lead in the top 50, papa palp team start to dissapear one by one. Btw how's ur leaderboard looks like? :flushed:

Yup I have noticed this too. Sion mechanic forces a very good game of hide the Nihilus. So Rex is back as cleanse and tenacity up is only way to really stop sion taunt

There are ways of beating mirror matches of EP leads with Vader, which is to say almost all of them, without resorting to "farm better speed mods". My personal favorite is using DT and Krennic - it they go first, DT springs into action by throwing his granade, messing the enemy cooldowns and taking apart their entire battle plan. But people are lazy. They want to follow the latest meta without actually taking time to strategize. There are countless teams that could reach the top of arena now. One example I've thought of - droids. With GK at the lowest he has ever been in arena since his release (and nobody even brought in Traya yet), crit immunity is less of a thing now. So, HK lead with BB8, R2, and two other droids should start at 40% TM (making them faster then anyone else currently in the meta), and every crit will make them faster. But not a single person has even brought up the possibility.

Clones gain 20% everyone else gets 10%. Every aoe from the droids is full tm for rex. If he uses his cleanse it's full tm for everyone.

Why are you hiding your own playername? haha.

Why so soon leaving us Papa Palp? We need you.. nOOoooo

Haha.

Anyway, this is always an inevitable reaction to a debuff heavy "meta". Thrawn would be be right up there, but the AI, is not so "I" when it comes to his special skill...

scuba the mechanic papa palp zeta lead is fun, with addition of sion it's more fun, but it's no fun when have mirror match, too complicated for me lol. But it's not that easy using rex lead. Timing must be perfect, tenacity up too soon u screw, got cooldown increase u are trapped with sion. But at least RNG involvement with rex team is not too much

Oh no doubt it is fun. I personally won't run it because it is everywhere. Mine still has plenty of NS, JTR teams but the EP start to cluster at the top at certain points

I just run ewoks with zolo and kill them all!

This prompted me to check my own top-10 to see who's dominating my shard, since I haven't checked in a while...

It's an Ewok team with Raid Han....

What? Wha.. I don't...

Rex is a lame lead, so cheap, so generic, so overpowered, ot must be nerfed, l am sick of him, just put the most OP toons under Rex leadership, and you wi, easy.

Got problems winning in arena?
Rex + raid han, problems solved. Super speed can't even save you from getting beat by them, haha.

@leef i don't have leaderboard group chat. I don't wanna find by my shardmates. I'm a lone wolf that battle relentless over and over again hoho
:tongue:

Good for you! Same here. Taking turns for participation trophies would just ruin arena. I've been found by some shard mates, but I refuse to join the collusion club.
