Why is diversity not encouraged?
Looking at the meta report this morning is just... depressing. You have three toons that are used more than 73% of the time in top teams which are obviously R2, CLS, and GK. 6 toons are used 40% of th...

You can beat those 6 chars without having any of them. There you have diversity, figure it out. Crit hit immunity is by far the most valuable buff right now, reduces their damage output significantly so get your 3 star shoretrooper out. Go on, build something around it.
Name me a team without any of those 6 that can compete. I'll wait.
Sure
Krennic (zeta) or Tarkin as lead, Deathtrooper, Shore, Snowtrooper.
Han zolo stuns thrawn at the start and this team is toast. Period. It requires luck and lots of rng for empire team to beat a good cls team. It's 50/50 at best and that's on offense.
You're not toasting a stormtrooper with crit immunity + defense up and a ton of more defense from his unique.
The team I mentioned had no thrawn and you're wrong. Guy on our launch shard runs 4 empire chars with DN, 2 of them are G12 (Tarkin/Stormtrooper like G12 makes a difference on them). https://swgoh.gg/u/nidhogg/
As you can see, he gets his 2nd spot everyday. It's not 50/50, an empire squad still holds a candle and should beat any CLS team unless you don't know how to play.
If you were correct, it'd show up in usage rates. It doesn't. The usage rates show you long term viability. Of course, outliners with max gear and God Mods exist. This game has 8 to 10 viable toons and I'm being generous. If there were more, they'd be used more.
I don't have to be correct or wrong, you are the one making the claim that you can't beat those 6 chars without having any of them. The burden of proof is on your side - not on mine. Plenty of knowledgeable people out there who can come up with a squad that can beat them. If you can't, then here you are complaining which is irrelevant.
See it this way, challenge 10000 people to beat a CLS - GK - R2 - Han - Thrawn/DN squad without using any of them, do you seriously think not a single guy can't do it?
(Boba, Chaze, Veteran Chewie/Han?)
If they could compete, they'd show up in the usage rates. You must be the only one running them.
