Bastila working as intended?
First off, I’m going to try and keep this as constructive as possible. I am in a November 2017 shard so what I’m going to say may not apply to old shards. We just got our first Traya with another half...

I have been reading this and trying to stay out of it because I don't think the responses the OP gets will ever be satisfactory. But, I've read enough that I'm going to give it a shot. So I actually run a Bastila team in arena. My team is well moded and full gear 12 except my hermit yoda because honestly, he is only there to give the other Jedi Master's Training and as long as I have a tank, I don't have to worry about him.
So the complaint issued by the original post is that teams that are not all max rarity, well moded, and high level geared shouldn't be able to beat gear 12 well moded teams. While I can understand the frustration (I had JTR in the arena when the Night sister teams with Mother Talzin came out) I think we are forgetting some main points, that I have noticed others have made.
You seem to be upset that a low rarity, lower geared, and possibly lower moded team is climbing the ranks so easily. However, based off what has happened in the past, I'm not sure why you are surprised and therefore upset by this. When Mother Talzin came out, there were many Night sister teams that climbed up the board that were not as well geared or as high rarity as the teams they were beating. To make matters worse, some teams flat out could not beat them when they are on defense.
The Bastila team can be annoying, yet is pretty easy to beat on defense from what I've seen. So the main issue then would be that a team with a few lower geared toons can beat a gear 12 team. But if you have a team full of G12 support characters going up against a team full of G10 attackers, which one is going to win? Have you been playing in territory wars and never gone up against a team with lower gear levels than the team you attacked with and lost? I have! Take a team of Jedi G12 (not Bastila) against a Phoenix team G10, I bet you the Jedi would lose. The skills and abilities and even the roles of the characters matter.
I'm not saying that you are wrong to be upset. I was upset when my JTR was ousted from the top 100 in arena because of night sisters. Many people said that CLS was overpowered, many people said the same thing about JTR's zeta'd leader ability. Same thing happened with Night sisters, and now Bastila. So do you have the right to be upset? Of course. Should you ask EA if there is something wrong with the performance of Bastila? Sure.
Based off an earlier comment by the moderator, she is working as intended. So now you have four choices. You can find a way to beat them; a new way, not just throw Traya at it. You can join them; gear up your Bastila and do the same thing. You can continue this post and keep making your point over and over again, which based off past evidence with other characters people have said were overpowered won't likely lead anywhere. Or you can quit, which I wouldn't advise.
Honestly, based off the rework of Cad Bane, and Aurra Sing and Embo, I get the feeling that we are just coming into a new meta where the top of the Arena is going to be Bounty Hunters, Treya Teams, Bastila Teams and probably Night Sisters still. Once that happens unless Bastila teams can beat the bounty hunter teams, they wont be in the top 20. The one thing that is constant in anything is change.
