Will droids get some love soon?
So I invested in a droid team and it paid off very well so far, I was able to always be top10 and sometimes even #1 when the ranking favours me. But I'm starting to lag behind. All those new character...

How about we give Lobot a buff. Since he has Rebel and Droid synergies, that's buffing both factions, and the man's almost irrelevant. True he's great against a debuff heavy team, but is lackluster otherwise.
I like my droids, I am slowly farming up all the alternates I can for them aside from Grievous as I'm from a Dec. '16 shard and can't afford to commit resources to him. Of course raiding, and ships, and events, and challenges all have their priority too... which is why it is slow going.
I would like to run something other than the cookie cutter droid squad myself. I didn't actually decide to run droids. At first I was running mostly Rebels. I got IG-86 and IG-100 out of a bronzium early on but didn't work on them. Somewhere between 40-50 I bought a few 8X chromium cards and drew both Jawa Engineer (3 times), and B2. Since I had just been handed a very hard to get toon, and had 3/5 members of the squad, I went droid.
I had K2S0, so my droid squad was pretty much picked. I started farming HK-47, and was set. My droid squad was HK, IG86, K2S0, B2, JE. I would have swapped out 86 for 88, but I am in no position to farm my K2S0 past 4 stars. Initially he was the only reason I could justify running the droid squad I was practically handed. I like to make my own combos, but the shard shop is out of reach so for now I am running the cookie cutter droid squad.
What these posts are really asking for in my opinion is an elimination of meta. I'd like to see multiple comps from each faction be just as viable as every other faction. This is a tough thing to do while still keeping the power creep. The power creep by the way is necessary, it's the only way to continue to generate demand in this type of game, which is the only way to continue to make profits in this game.
As it is, it is the occasional tipping of the scales that keeps the game interesting. A well oiled wheel gets ignored, while the squeaky wheel gets the grease. No one pays attention to the things that function well. If this game had no points of contention like power creep, it wouldn't be around for long afterwards
