This is what we call a logical fallacy. You view speed as a definitive decider of a match, but honestly it is nowhere close to the equivalent power of 1 million hit points...
I think it's fair to say that a set of mods that give one character +100 speed currently
is a definitive decider of a match. I would certainly
not put that on Rey, much rather on one of those toons that locks down the opposite team: Old Ben, St. Han, Poe, Palpatine,... I'm quite certain that this advantage
is significant, much more that whatever can be achieved with a set of perfect mods in any other dimension (in their current range).
But you have a valid point in that an ultra-speedy Rey can be balanced by one with extra protection or extra offense. Extra speed is only a problem because there's nothing that balances an opening Mind Tricks (or other mass stun/mass ability block). Tenacity is what is supposed to do that, but it's a joke.
Also, high secondary stats cause an issue because there is almost no trade-off. Like on an Arrow Mod, you have to choose between +30 speed and +24% protection (on top of having the luck of actually having them). With secondary stats, no such choice, just luck.
There are really 2 debates/questions here (and I don't mean nerf, buff or anything, just "spot the error"):
Why speed can go as high, but not potency, health or offense? Speed +20 should equate offense +300, health +2000 but those don't exist.
So far in the game, we had some control over things that we want to acquire. I wouldn't mind if instead of secondary stats, the set bonus was high: At least I can do something to get the impression to tweak the odds in my favor (develop a Resistance squad and spam that challenge). With the mods main and secondary stats, it's just uniformly random: There is absolutely no "strategy". Zero. Schnoll. Even less so than at the roulette.
