I have never seen that, if that was the case if you have a phasma lead and just put a whole team of counterattackers then they would call assists on them which has never happened. By that logic stick Ayala, 5's, Sun fac, Baze and one Aoe they all have the potential to call assists on their counters wiping everyone so easily. That's why counterattacking isn't an offensive ability it is just an ability.
Add Dooku with his double attack counter (two chances to proc an assist), and Gar Saxon for an additional assist on each counter, and it would still be a barely passable team. Don't get me wrong, it would be entertaining to watch, but it wouldn't get you very far. Getting a 20% chance to call an assist on counter is hardly game breaking, that's why Gar Saxon was introduced with a 100% to assist on a counter. By your logic, any team with Gar Saxon on it should easily wipe any other team right? Hardly so.
Phasma's lead really only shines when you build your team around First Order, which only has one toon with (at best) a 65% chance to counter.
Besides, you really can't argue with the wording on Admiral Ackbar's ability. A counter is either an attack or it isn't. If it IS an attack, then it should have the potential to call an assist under a Phasma lead. If it's NOT an attack, then it should have a 100% chance to call an assist under an Ackbar lead. Since it doesn't call assists under Ackbar, then we must conclude that a counter is in actuality an attack. And since it IS an attack, then based on the wording of Phasma's lead, is should then have the potential to call assists. Either the wording of the abilities needs to be corrected, or the game needs to be updated to allow assists on counter (if it doesn't already).
