There are really 2 problems I see with this rework:
1) The hype. There wasn’t this much criticism about the BH rework, and they are honestly about the same level as these droids. The difference is how they were marketed and hyped up. Nobody billed the BH as being meta crushers (was it Traya at the time?).
2) Poor synergy. Grievous hurting his teammates is pretty awesome. Except B1, because there is no way to recover those stacks and it hurts the rest of his abilities. B1 should have been immune to all % health effects.
Another example is Magnaguard. His taunt completely ruins the concept of Droideka getting marked with damage immunity. There should have been another unique that removes his taunt if an ally is marked by Grievous, and giving 100 bonuses if he is the one getting marked. Another example is the crit bonuses with a lot of characters that can’t critically hit, or defense down bonus with an attacker that ignores defense. Wasted buffs.
Point is the team has a bunch of good, interesting characters that work together as duos, but work against each other quite often when paired as a full unit of 5.
