So the Rey event is what half over? And don't know about you guys but I am very underwhelmed by Rey. I'm on a Nov 2015 shard and there are 0 on arena teams...a bunch of people have her but no one is using her...because she is lackluster at best. They have said she should be nearly on par with CLS...and even the most avid supporters would agree that she is nowhere near as good as CLS.So rather than just another rant I wanted to ask the developers (because I've heard multiple times that they read the forums.) to think about a hot fix rework...make her good. Do something...increase her damage (by a lot), let her hit through stealth, reducer her cooldowns, something...anything! and then let everyone know that you guys reworked her.And its more than just make us dopes that bought crystals to get the Vets to unlock her happy...I know a lot of people in my guild and in my arena shard chat that have talked about not farming her any more because of the negative feedback they are seeing. So this is your chance...quick!...make her better...announce it...then that would light a fire and everyone and their mom would be itching to get this new amazing character...in stead of being happy they waited it out. I get that you are trying to slow down the power creep...but a hero's journey character is NOT the place to do it.

3rd most used leader for #1 teams on the swgoh.gg meta report though.

Yup, and the youtubers have multiple videos up of her demolishing meta teams (even on defense). Hate to say it, but the community was wrong on this one...

It's outright stupid how many ppl demand her rework on forum/reddit.I;m much more happy about her than a broken CLS. At least we might get some more variety in current meta.

She's getting conflicted reviews I think because she's less OP "out of the box" and needs more whale advantage in terms of mods than past metas. Rex was the mod-less wonder and didn't need speed at all much. Same for Chaze - just heal to infinity and counter attack. Same for Barriss / GK - just sit back and turtle at whatever speed and wait for annihilate. Han shoots first and gains tons of TM - he's super cheap. CLS is similar with a counter attacking lead, you can not be fast and CLS is still dangerous. Rey with R2 / BB8 though it's a fast team that cycles ahead and runs circles around you. If you don't have mods and turn order tuned properly she may seem under-whelming. I have a mix of RJT on my shard - some holding well some not - the ones holding well have very strong speed / damage mods. The guys that didn't have mods and were past Barriss / GK turtle teams..their RJT is underperforming on D relative. NS slice right through her though and even can give issues for RJT on offense.

Wow. Great response. What are the team comps of the RJT teams that are holding well?I hate NS teams. There are currently 4 in the 10 and 8 in the top 20 on my shard.

Quick...Now's your chance to rework Rey!!

This is spot on when it comes to her and was just having this conversation with my arena shard this morning. She does just as well as CLS does for me in arena and it's fun running a different squad. The NS Cheese team does cut through it which bothers me but I'm still hopeful CG address that comp.

I think we compare her to CLS and how OP he was. You could literally stick him in any lineup and he'd dominate. I think with JTR, she needs some synergy to really dominate. I'm happy with this.

Agree with that. It's also the old 'this toon is too op straight away nerf them to hell' and 'this toon isn't meta changing in the way I immediately expected it to be needs a rework reactions.

I haven't gotten rey myself but fought one with my cls team and it was a painful experience.

I won't be getting her first go but I did see videos of RJT, scavenger Rey, Finn, bb8 and r2 and that team held pretty well

I use JTR, BB8, R2, GK and CLS.

My takeaway is = it demolishes the meta teams (CLS leads or GK/Zarris) fast. On defense it holds fine vs GK/Zarris teams and not really vs CLS leads. This is better than running the old meta team where it would be beat by either of those two, so I'm sticking with JTR.
