Droids can beat wiggs on offense. And of course it takes time to invest in a new team. What do you think everyone else did besides the droid players. You guys just sat on your droids while everyone else had to build up the newest meta to compete. (Dodge meta, rebels, empire, etc.)
Obviously droids can, as I mentioned. Success is just very RNG dependent. I never just sat on my droids. I farmed Wedge, and Biggs to get Palpatine (currently at 5*), and been working on other teams for raids and GW. Don't forget that there are numerous game modes to prepare for. Interesting how to get one of the main characters to counter Wedge, and Biggs requires a rebel squad. It also took me quite a while to catch up on ships since when they were released the only character I had was Jedi Consular that had a ship, and Wedge, and Biggs both have solid ships. See the theme here? The point is that many combinations should have utility, and I am thankful that things are shifting, but it has been taking a while. The lack of diversity in shards (except for really old ones) highlights this point. I wouldn't consider my shard new, and when I see the combo often 100% of the teams with refreshes in my arena shard...
OK. You say that wiggs are easy to farm (wedge isn't easy to gear), and easy to use. But let's rewind here, do you think droids aren't also easy to farm, and easy to use? All you have to do is Frankenstein mod your je with all of your speed secondaries, put crit chance and CRIT dmg on your DPS and let it rip. You don't think when people see your Droid team they go "oh god, not another identical Droid team that is going to outspeed me, and I hope it doesn't kill/ability block one of my toons before I even move." I 100% bet they do.
Also you say it's funny how you have to farm rebels to get the counter to wiggs. Well, do you know what newer players have to do to get the main counter to droid teams? They have to farm a t7 raid for months to get raid han to 7*, and then gear him. That's not an easy task for a newer player. So if someone doesn't want to use droids, and don't have raid han to beat droids easily...Why would they
not use wiggs?
