Ugh... Chaze
I don't understand how a blind, wannabe Jedi and a hulking dude with a machine gun were made into the best healer and tank in the game. They have about 8 words of dialogue between them in a little sid...

oh i don't doubt the chinese market is not a primary for a game like this. But it's one of those things that for long term strategy, no game or movie company will ignore at this point.
Star wars as a franchise is not particularly well known in China. So by %, i'm sure no more than 5% of this game's audience would be from over there, if that much. However, my point remains. To Chinese players, Chaze may actually be a fan favorite, and they're much more willing to shell out $ for it, as opposed to all the characters from the original Trilogy that never even opened in that country.
And I actually do think this game is popular in more places than the US. in my own shard when i look at top 50, just based on people's or guild's names, i see Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, etc, all in the mix. All the non English ones may be only total 40%, but it's definitely not just played by people whose primary language is English even, much less US.
Tho back OP's original point. I think Chaze is still limited by the fact that at least Chirrut is not particularly effective by himself. I run Baze by himself and he does his job. But Chirrut without Baze would be easy pickings. So from a game design point of view, I think it's mostly luck that the synergy between the two turned out to be so effective.
To be fair, i don't remember Biggs and Wedge that well from the original trilogy either, and that combo also had its day
