My 2c worth of advice to people disappointed with the new changes.

I'm not going to use big words, any datamined information, deep analysis, % changes of who vs who.

I'll just say, we understand. You have your favourite set of toons that you always rek the enemy team with, you are sitting at #1 on the arena for a month farming crystals. You press auto for your challenges and just skate on ice through the game.

But this update is all about change. The game was just being mindless and autonomous. It's asking you to deepen your team list, try new things, break the mould that you have been so used to for the last few months. Throw a toon in that you think was crap before and maybe they will work out for you.

Farm the shards on an ewok or CUP, who knows they may surprise you. :o

This update is giving people who farmed a different set of toons for their own reasons an opportunity to get somewhere. Then again maybe not.

I'm just happy with the work being put in. This game is not a short term flash for some, I for instance want to collect each toon and one day (4 years from now) have all of them upgraded lol. As long as the content keeps coming and changes are made it's a good thing. Don't expect an overnight win, this will take a while, if you don't have the patience then maybe another game is for you. The challenge is to meet the new metas as they evolve. Embrace this, take a loss and strive forward until you have a deeper "garage" of characters.
