Everyone keeps referring to Wiggs as the "old meta" as if they're Rey or Poe. I'm playing on a shard from a few weeks after release, so it's basically as old as they get. There are three TI members, so it's not a weak shard or a shard that doesn't adapt. 9 of the top 10 run Wiggs, the one exception being a Zaul team, and without counting I'd estimate 40-45 of the top 50 teams run Wiggs. I get that Chaze is more OP than Wiggs, but there's no reason to shut down any "nerf Wiggs" comment just because Wiggs is "old meta" when 90% of top Arena teams still run Wiggs and the only way to beat g10 omega-Wiggs is to use g11 Zeta characters.

According to swgoh.gg the meta wiggs report is more like 45-46% with the zetas and way better teams out there they will go the way of Rey, old Ben and poe eventually. "He who is resistant to change is destined to perish " - hot rod

"He who is resistant to change is destined to perish " - hot rodThat hasn't happened at all on my shard. Zetas allow other teams to compete, yes, but they don't eradicate Wiggs. A Zaul or Zader team can beat a Wiggs team, but a Wiggs team can also easily beat a Zaul or Zader team, so nobody has any incentive to move on to one of those Zeta teams when they already have Wiggs.

"He who is resistant to change is destined to perish " - hot rodThat still is 1/2, which means extremely viable

Glad I am with a bunch of stubborn peeps like myself that try to be a little different. I still throw wiggs in from time to time to blast through some teams.

With teams like Kanobi zBarris, zQGJ rogue 1 rebels and empires teams they are now second class. The only reason so many people are stuck on them is because it is difficult to replace 2 toons at once.

I see this a lot and even people telling new comers not to worry about faming them they are old....

They are a solid dps duo. They fit into many teams, they are just not center stage.

@Wildcats1203 Out of curiosity, who are the 3 TI on your shard? I'm in an early shard as well, and have noticed our Arena is... a little weird. Like the shard that the meta forgot, or something. Wondering if we're in the same shard :-)

If you look at the mayority of the player base they don't have chase... by the end of the night the bulk of my shard looks like this...
1-10 zetas, chaze, GK
10-20 empire
20-50 Wiggs, Lando

There are a few Rex, and Boba leads in between, also some godly teams with speed. But taking a look at the bulk of the player base is very hard for a Wiggs team to reach higher than 20 unless they have some really good mods or a fast Boba.

Bennett, A Diamond in the Rough, and MrRush @RebelBass
From what I hear, Bennett is a top player even in TI, so I'm assuming that he typically stays on the cutting edge and he's currently running Wedge (L), Biggs, Chaze, 7*GK.
