BB-8 the answer for grievous?

BB-8 won't change the meta. They need to reduce that 70 turn cooldown. Games don't last long enough to make that ability viabile. Secondly there are too many droid counters in the game currently. Third, droids have no defense stats and get wrecked quickly outside maybe R2-D2(maybe) or B2. Droids need a Shore trooper like auto taunter at the begining of game with stun immunity to ever be viable or they will remain trash for as long as this game is around. Just saying

A 70 turn cooldown with a droid team is really only like 5 turns (I'm talking about 5 turns for droids here though). So the game will definitely last long enough. You really only need to use your droid's AOE twice for some of them, if you even need the 2nd round of AOEs from them. Add B2 in there and it will be done in no time. Droids are still very weak, but you will have R2 to stun enemies (and BB-8 when be counters) so you will almost definitely have 1 person stunned at all times, but more likely you'll have 2 stunned enemies. Then you have R2's stealth so enemies can't counter attack, and BB-8's heal when be evades (which will happen probably ~5 times per match or more). Basically what I'm saying is that you'll need really bad luck for you to be dead (or even to lose 2 or more of your team) before you can use Illuminated Destiny (the 70 turn CD ability). And then when you do get to use it you pretty much won the match from there from the offense up and crit damage up. Just imagine how hard your droids will hit for :)
