The krooper teams were a joke. Now some of that is because they were so bugged, but they still didn't have near enough speed to do anything. They were all mod dependent. He/she with the best mods, would win. Chaze was a great combo for sure, unfortunately I got sixth in his tournament and had to wait a while to seven star him, but the chaze teams struggled against the time-out teams. They didn't have enough firepower to take them down. Rex actually does better against the Zader teams than it does against Zaul teams. Zader was never a problem on our arena leaderboard because everyone had Rex. Anyone who used Zader would drop so fast and not be able to climb.

Once much of the randomness is taken out of arena, defense will stand again, and the best mods will win again.

There are a lot of changes on competitive shards that you're leaving out in that large timeframe. RexFac got crushed by Chaze for months in between Wiggs and Zaul. EP came back after Shore and TFP were released, was dropped for Wiggs/Chaze. Then Zader/Shore/TFP was a counter to Wiggs/Chaze. Then Sith rework happened just as the Zaul meta started to overtake Zader and Zaul then wiped the floor with everyone.

My whole shard had Shore/TFP and then Chaze, the entire top 20 and much of 50. Mine moves fast is very competitive, that's the only reason Krooper was mentioned, they were ok but then demolished by the Sith rework.

EP never came back after Shore, not at a top ten level. RexFac was transformed to Rex/Chaze or even Rex/Wiggs/Chaze. In the top ten of tournaments, no one put in an EP defensive squad.

: Again to reemphasize my original that the problem has always been Rex. I have both Rex and Zaul at gear max, I have used them both. Players who regularly compete for number one in arena would agree with me.

EP came back on many shards because he was fast enough to ability block Rex, Shore auto taunt nerfed Wiggs and EP could stun everyone.

Its very simple, any team vs Zaul is at best a 50/50 RNG nightmare except Rex. On the other hand dozens of teams can easily beat Rex. Rex is not the problem, Zaul + the Sith rework overturned the whole chessboard. There are so many Rex's only because there are so many Zauls, but Rex is easily beatable by tons of teams that's why it's not the problem.

Rex is a reliable toon with a good but not OP leader ability that's why he's been a good lead more than once while never having a toon specifically designed to counter him *cough* R2 *cough* Shoretrooper *cough*
