we're on day two of GP and I can already tell this round is going to be some BS, GP as a whole was supposed to be a good time, but it's easily turned into the worst game mode.

When GP first came out the rules where important but they didn't completely nerf teams into the ground. You still had some options on what you could bring; now tho?

A high lvl G5 is practically been required if you want to even reach 15 wins ( assuming you have kind players who change lead)

Bandai's counter to G5 is to debuff his color and classes so much that main teams become garbage and you have to stuff him into a slot. This would be a "reasonable" counter but it's gone on for so long now that despite Cerebral being buffed almost 3 GP's in a row; I can never use a team because they're mostly FS too. I pulled the new Boa months ago now and I haven't been able to use her once due to the debuffs.

That's the thing, NONE of these teams are cheap. Red team costs a lot of investment, same with FS, Slashers; they all require a ton of spending. It's one thing for a team to naturally fall out of the meta, but for the game to just nerf a team so hard that it's practically unusable just ruins it.

Especially considering this is the ONLY game mode where you even need to have multiple PVP teams. You can have 1 good pvp team and be fine. Don't like S-Hawk? don't fight him. Don't like Nami/Carina? don't fight them. But the question then becomes, why summon for them if they're just gonna be nerfed to hell in another GP or two?

Realistically regular PVP is just spending gems to get more matches in championship (teams matter little) and Grand Party is just Rock, Paper, Scissors with whatever BS rules Bandai makes that month.
