Of course GMLS is playable...even Dr. Evazan is playable.
What I meant was that GMLS is not
Tier 1 playable. He has too many bad matchups, in which he basically has a 10% chance to win at best. Yes, he is nearly an auto-win vs the Lancer, but against almost any other well-made squad, he's in over his head. Believe me, I'd love for GMLS to be outstanding, and I really wanted to take him to a Regional...but he just can't handle the meta. He either falls too quickly to quad-shooters and Rebel cannons (esp when Lobot brings in Wicket and R5) or else his support is wiped out too easily (Yobuck especially) and then he's locked out. In either case, despite Luke being really fun to play and scary for some squads to fight against, he just can't cut it at the top. And therefore, if you're comparing a Revan squad to a GMLS squad, you're automatically not talking about Tier 1 competitive squads. That's where I was coming from.
And the reason he's not Tier 1 competitive is that he can't fit in enough support. That is exactly what I'm saying when I argue that this Revan is also too costly to be effective. GMLS is
dynamite in 500pt matches (I've played a game of the Epic format with GMLS, and believe me, he's great there!), and this Revan as he stands would be dynamite at that point level too. But at 200, you just can't fit in enough support.
And as it comes to a GMLS vs Revan squad, I guess it would require building some specific squads and testing them. Would GMLS take Mara? Or Kyp? Or Zuckuss? Each of those builds would play quite differently, I'd expect. And I'm curious how a good Revan squad would be built. I expect it would include some good shooters (probably Dash, or maybe Boba Merc for double Intuition with MT), but I really don't know for sure.
Anyway, this is a good discussion...and all of it from an interesting set of custom stats; nice job, lonescout!
