Most people in this thread fall into a few categories. First there's the people who want Rey nerfed because she truly is overpowered or because she OHKOed one of their characters and now they're whining. Second there's the people who probably use Rey because she's so overpowered and therefor call for no nerf because then they'd have to farm someone else. Lastly there's the people who realize Rey is OP and also realize that nerfing her would cause an uproar from the second category so they call for other attackers to be buffed. The problem is none of the 3 proposed solutions are going to be effective, nerfing her isn't going to solve problems because then those who use her would be angry and f2p teams would suffer, if you don't change anything we're stuck with the current problem of OHKOs and foresight, and if you buff other attackers to the same level as Rey we'll all end up fighting teams of 3 Rey-level attackers hiding behind a taunt (most likely RG) and Dooku's evasion lead to boost damage and longevity and that doesn't solve any problems other that variety of attackers. Imagine having 3 of your characters go down in one hit before they can attack and then having all the powerful attackers hide behind RG if they don't dodge your attacks. The only true way I see to balance the game is to make all characters bulky enough to eat a hit from Rey, no matter how boosted she is, and live it. There needs to be a counter to Rey, not other ways to hit as hard as her. Once characters can effectively live a hit or two from Rey there needs to be a true counter to her. I could see this being a character who's counter damage is determined by the amount of damage taken. That way Rey's power and lack of bulk would result in a larger % of her health being taken by the counter. If this were implemented there would be more than just teams with attackers hiding behind a taunt with some support characters. We might see some stall teams (if they take away the timer in arena) or even some setup teams. The point is, something needs to be done about Rey that isn't going to hurt teams that use her so much that there's an uproar and it can't be so slight that there's still a problem. Making other attackers as good as her doesn't work either because then you have 3 problems instead of 1. Sure, it won't just be Rey anymore but distracting people with a bigger problem doesn't fix the original one.
