They don't care about what's overpowered, unless that OP is something beating their "new shiny." Hondo is still new enough that his team can do whatever they want. Even being a Galactic Legend means nothing for Hondo. In the next year or so he'll be weak compared to new conquest characters, new legendaries, and new GLs. Because new shiny better. Their recent ventures into revive and block revive have created some screwy things. Sometimes revive works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes deathmark stops revive, sometimes it doesn't. (I had deathmark get ignored twice recently and there wasn't a "block revive doesn't count!" DC.)
Same with FDCs, they get to be stupidly OP because they're new and create revenue. Rented garbage is still garbage, but CG makes money from rent.
Quality is irrelevant, Galactic Legend is irrelevant, players are irrelevant, only money.
