Guys, guys, guys. Youre getting caught up in the specifics of the mechanics, and missing the big picture, the message they intend to convey to you.
They made it clear when they made Chaze/Wiggs OP. They made it clear when they somehow released 4 Rebels during the Empire rework (which didnt noticably improve Empire). They made it clear when they announced 3 Rebels for the new Hoth content and no other faction (including another Han which there are already 2 of). They're making it clear now by reworking (improving) several old Rebels that were so strong when they released near the beginning of the game that they are still very strong in certain areas of the game.
Empire has one legitimately powerful arena character, and thats Thrawn. This gif once again has been provided to make the message clear.
They keep trying to tell us but some of us are not getting the message:
"You must play Rebels. If not, you are playing wrong, and you will lose."
