Reworked Geos, wow... but why should i farm/gear them

Any team that can sit there, take a beating, never take a turn and then win is pretty obviously not intended. It will eventually get "fixed" one way or another.

This and what is wrong with another offensive squad?

Some teams are really meant to be PvE squads.

Nothing is wrong with another offensive squad... i love the new geos do be honest, even if they can't beat the Acklay ?‍♂️
But CC told us that the new Geo are viable like the NS and that's absolutely not true.
It's just good on offense but it xxxxxx (i don't write the word i woudl like to) on defense.
I mean it is not ok if you have a g13 brood alpha or more g13 geos and you can beat them with a g9/10/11 jawa squad.

I don't thin they ever said viable. Here are the quotes from the "developer insights":

Our goal was to create something like the Nightsister squad, a strong tribal team that really worked well together and has an interesting mechanic that was unique to the faction.

Similar to Nightsisters, we wanted an interesting gameplay interaction that was unique this faction.

And here is what they said about TW/GA:

The improved survivability makes them a hard team to punch through, making them a solid Grand Arena and Territory War team on defense. Many mid-tier squads do not have the control tools (stuns, buff immunity, or ability block) to get around Brute and kill the Brood Alpha and then raw damage to finish them off. On offense this team can even take on some of the harder squads in Grand Arena/Territory War.

Jawas seem like a faction that was not on their radar but nowhere in their quotes did they say this would be viable (which, to me, sounds like you're saying Arena viable). They specifically said "many mid-tier squads" for defense and "some of the harder squads" on offense.

Besides, Jawas aren't exactly a common team that many folks have ready to go. It's not something I'd worry about when deciding whether or not to gear the Geonosians.

I maxed the geos cause i love them and i'm super happy that the geos got the deserved rework. My statement was nothing against CG or something like that.
But it is super frustrating if a squad you never used can beat them like if they are nothing.
Maybe we will get some new geos and they will fix that "problem"
... maybe zombie geo, that would be awesome ???

It probably wasn't intentional, but this all seems like a fantastic rework for CG.

First, they vastly improved an underutilized faction to make it viable enough for PVP on top of being required for the new TB (making many in the community happy). Second, one of this newly revitalized faction's hard counters is another very underutilized faction. This means that players will have reasons to put resources into both squads (probably making CG money)

I think you are reading too much into the statement, they were describing the synergy they were giving them, to be like NS, not the game play/viability and certainly nothing about specifics regarding their defensive position in GA/TW. They are describing the close nit "tribal" feel of the synergy they gave them, just like NS, a team designed to be primarily only units with that tag.

Gotcha,
Like i said, i love the rework. It's really fantastic!!!!
But i am/was a bit frustrated that a squad of g9 noobs can beat them.
I'm still looking forward and hope that we get maybe a new geo ?‍♀️?? what will fix that unexpectedly "bug"

Is there a vid of jawas beating a full G12 geo team?
