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

Probably switched to that team so the others can make it to #1 for payout. Though we all know that Ewoks > Empire. The Ewok meta is coming...

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.

That team can run through those EP lead sith/empire. Sion makes it a little tougher but still wins

I just roll with the 80 percent chance Ability block on their Vader. 80 percent wins is good enough for the amount of sion on my shard.

Haha I do the same thing.

it's pretty amazing really how good the Ewoks are player controlled. In CG's other big game Heroes of Dragon Age, you actually had 8 teams slots to use in PVP and you could set 1 as your defense permanently no matter what you used on offense. There would be some downside, but attacking offensively I liked that option.

My ability block rarely landed @Olddumper , maybe bcause i don't have potency primary on cross mod with nice speed. Force crush all the time :lol:

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

Yes @ElleMadara , as u and @leef said.. rex is amazing, efficient way to grab #1. I understand if u love n admire rex so much haha

Btw for me personally, i don't have to bump up much chars.. gear up, switch mods, put zeta here and there. Just put mixed old OP chars under rex, use them, i can work on other chars that need improvement without worry much about arena :grimace:

yeah this shift is happening and will more as I'm seeing the comments in the chat - everyone went EP so mirror matches no one likes and the DV / Sion / DN makes it RNG or Vader-speed mod dependent. I've stayed with RJT the whole time and feel good on offense vs. EP or Rex. I'd recommend going back to her and tweak the team. I like Poe / Thrawn as the +2.

@JohnnySteelAlpha people who use RJT switch to papa palpi lead team, but lately they revert back to RJT. U are right.. no one likes mirror matches with RNG dependent.

I hope expose nerf won't effect RJT team in arena. Btw i like facing poe + rey scav in RJT team, it's hilarious seeing my GK with half protection getting slam to death with her magic stick :lol:
