Nerf Wedge's Leadership already
I'm just gonna say it: Wedge's leadership ability has completely obliterated arena balance. With all of the critical chance bonuses available to Rebel characters (Biggs, who is naturally in every comp...

While I appreciate the facetious response, you seem to have missed a few things. Firstly, I never once said that the team is unbeatable; I said it was unbalanced in the meta. To clarify, unbalanced is not keeping or showing an even balance; not evenly distributed. I.e., when one team consists of 46/50 in the current meta. Is that an even distribution?
That question is rhetorical; of course it's not. Even less so with Chaze making its way into the mix. Regarding AoE, I'm not sure you've been paying attention: Any damage to StHan during a taunt makes the rest of his unbalanced team attack sooner; damage to Chaze results in retribution and a refresh of said taunt.
As far as reviving toons, the only characters that do that for others either have a very small chance of succeeding and/or revive with limited health, unlike the regular crit to full health of Wiggs. As to self-revive, I can think of only two characters, one of which is not a threat to anyone individually.
The other is the only toon that can bypass taunts and, let's be honest, he's not one-shotting anyone even with his recent buff.
Truly, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, since what you describe only further illustrates that the build is unbalanced and, while not impossible to beat, requires very specific and typically unobtainable toons outside of a paywall.

I, too, hate the directions the devs went in recently. IMO the devs have been playing catch-up for awhile attempting to release toons that can throw a rock at the meta without thinking too much ab what they are doing. I think the power balance in toons is spiraling upwards out of control. In the past few months we have seen EP, Wiggs, Boba uplifting, Chaze, shoretrooper, these are all toons that are radically more powerful than previously where a very well-loved nightsister team could make things work if not be the outright best. Now, however, its not a matter of picking a few favourites and jumping into a fun game. Its ab picking the winning horses.
Yes, a thousand times yes. But will a dev actually own up to the fact or at least try to explain how it can be conceived of as balanced? I'm hopeful, but not optimistic.
