Despite the hundreds of threads on Revan being ridiculous, CG won't do anything about it, until they release Malek, Darth Revan, or Jar Jar Binks to destroy the Revan meta, which will be shortly followed by that new meta which will make all other possible squads out in the cold again. Balance is something CG is absolutely not interested in doing.
This is how it's pretty much always been, except in the very early days when leadership abilities were poorly thought out and you could basically mix & match because synergy didn't really exist.
This is also, inevitably, how any squad-building game develops. There is always a "meta" team, and they always have to keep power creep going with each new release in order to unseat it. It's basically unavoidable.
People always preach about "balance" and "rock paper scissors," but beyond a certain level of complexity, it becomes almost impossible to maintain this perfect balancing act for any great length of time. And said complexity is what makes the game interesting in the first place.
Is Revan ridiculous? Sure. But it's likely that whatever replaces him will be just as ridiculous, because it would have to be in order to beat him, wouldn't it?
I personally don't even mind Revan that much, as he allows me to win without a perfect set of godlike mods, which is a nice change from the "Oh, you don't have +130 speed on your entire squad? LOL you lose" status quo I had gotten used to previously.
