New Droid Meta?

So with the addition of R2 many teams, including droids, can beat the legendary Zaul teams that have plagued every server in the top spots. So what are your thoughts on the best droid team since the introduction of R2-D2? Personally, I've been thinking of a slightly different approach than everyone I've seen on the forums. My thoughts are that HK, 88, R2, K2, GK will be the best droid team out there (ideal turn order: GK, R2 then 88 going last, the others don't matter for turn order). You're probably asking yourself "WHERE'S MUH JE BRUH??". Well here's my reasoning for getting rid of JE. JE has 2 jobs: get your droids going first, and revive a defeated droid (who will probably die instantly after anyway, so its a waste half the time). With this setup you'll have 2 very good tanks: one that has essentially never-ending taunt with nice counter attacks and inflicts offense down, and one that gains foresight and give crit hit immunity to everyone including the other tank. With these 2 tanks blocking the way the only way to get through them, reliably, is with B2. And because of these facts, I personally don't see a need for JE anymore. Yes, your droids will be slow as balls at the start, but they're well protected and then when GK comes around he can cleanse any debuffs they had and give retribution to the ones who weren't debuffed (retribution on 88? yes please!). Then R2 will use Improvise and then use Smoke Screen to give everyone except one of the taunts stealth and then from there on its pretty much game over for the other team. GK will use his assist attack to kill someone (everyone WILL be buffed), then the constant pressure of your droids will keep chipping away at the other team. What are your thoughts on this? WIll this be the new meta-defining team? Comments are much appreciated :)
