GL Luke vs SLK - Absolutely Crazy
Well, I got my first taste of this in arena today. A non-ult, not even fully zeta'd GLLuke under JKL can absolutely dismiss the SLK matchup. I see reports of this with SEE vs. SLK as well where SLK ...

Rey and Kylo are team comp and offense/defense based. Kylo usually has a much higher win rate when attacking a Rey team than Rey does against a Kylo team, but it's "fairly" even.
The real issue is the fact JML/SEE are both countered by ridiculously "cheap" teams comparatively (SEE being countered by your standard sith empire lineup? really? And that JML palp/triumvirate counter is also way more common and easier to acquire than either "consistent" Rey/Kylo counter) and that due to JML's Jedi tag, he has an absolutely absurd amount of possible leads that end up with him being able to well, beat pretty much every team that's designed to counter him. Most notably the Bastilla lead countering SEE.
I honestly don't know WHAT could fix JML being able to counter literally everything, because he obviously has to keep his Jedi tag, but... it IS the one thing that really sticks out about the new GLs. At best you could maybe see some kind of palp or traya-lead SEE team able to perform better than a SEE-lead against some stuff, but really, I don't think any of the other 3 GLs will ever see the kind of utility that we're seeing from JML currently, without obviously giving Rey the same exact thing that causes Luke to have that utility, which is a Jedi tag. (imagine bastilla lead and lifeblood, lol. Timeouts for days.)

There is also a small problem in your comparison of GL.
JML and Rey are using the exact same toons to be efficient against the other GL. While SLKR just use Fo and SEE sith empire.
Not really balanced from this point of view
