I don't know why people keep talking about a "rock, paper, scissors" meta in a PTW game. Other than the exception of brief transitions periods between character releases, such a meta is neither intended nor desired by the two most important groups in the game.

1. EA. They want people to have an incentive to spend. A spending incentive is a meta that comprised of the newest squad able to be obtained by money.
2. Whales. The people who spend want to know they are getting some sort of advantage for their money.

People keep talking about it because CG has said that want to create that environment. The first time I paid attention them saying that was around the release of ships 2.0.
