I think the OP calls are way premature - let's look at what are top tier skils in the game:
- aoe enemy dispel (Baze, etc.)
- full team debuff dispel (GK, Chirrut, etc.)
- aoe enemy debuffs (EP, DN, Boba, TFP, etc.)
- pre taunt (Baze, Shore, etc.)
- Auto taunt (GK, Sith Trooper, Baze, etc.)
- TM push (StHan, Sith Assassin, Rex leader, etc.)
- Dodge (zDM)
- TM reduction (zDV, FOO in FO, etc.)
- Starting speed (zDM with SA, fast TFP under zDV, wiggs with +45 speed and 100% TM gain ability .... some way to jump out early and command the match)
This Phoenix set has none of that. I think they're pretty balanced so far. We need to see the final specs on the last 3 heroes. Look at the 3 we have now - very moderate to low damage - where are you getting kills from out of Hera Kanan and Chopper?...and no one is really fast enough vs. current meta speed. Let's see the last 3 speed and damage abilities before making any judgments. The uniques are their strength, but also can be turned against them. Since they balanced with that mix in mind, once you start picking them off they will rapidly deteriorate in their strength for the remaining members. Unlike other squads, they will totally unravel as they lose allies. If the last 3 PX members are planet eaters than sure they could be OP, but for what we know now I'm seeing a good, but not gamebreaking squad built around heal / longevity but low on damage and missing a lot of top tier capabilities that other comps have. They look like a solid addition to the game - but that's speculation also since we don't know the exact details of half the squad.
