Think it helps the game is lighter - you really don't need to 'git gud' to do most events, it's lighter funner and just easier on players. I don't need a squad of kick arse 6* to top the event board to get the latest shinies and my helper squad doesn't need to be cookie cutter squad 1,2 or 4, but not 3

If you want to build a squad of all counter, all AOE, all dodge girls....you can make it work....worried if whale ship may tip the balance a little but we'll see
