So for the past week or so I have been subbing R2D2 and IG88 back and forth, and it seems to work greatly.
R2D2 is much better against the Wiggs +Chaze combos. Starting off by having R2 smokescreen onto K2S0 before B2 strips the taunt keeps Jawa Engineer from being targetable by the resulting triple, which is a huge plus against this comp. I strongly recommend holding back on your first daze until after Chirrut takes his first turn and cleanses too. There are only 2 characters in the fifth slot that seem to really make it hard to beat this comp that I have come across: Jyn and R2. Running R2 instead of 88 has made them easier to deal with.
As before, don't bother trying to burn Chirrut down until either Baze is dead or Baze has buff immunity and Chirrut has Daze or is stunned. Wedge is first priority target unless things line up for you to take Chirrut out. R2/Jyn and Biggs are roughly shared priority for second.
I've found that for ZQGJ leads and Zader leads, I am better off with 88 than R2. They have comparable AoE damage, but R2's happens over time and 88's is instantaneous. Beating Zader relies on taking out his control and one of his DoT appliers before they go so I need the high damage opening burst. Wiggs/Chaze is about waiting for your opportunities, so I need the control that R2 brings instead.
Why don't you sub K2-SO against Zader and Jedi teams instead of R2? I feel like R2 helps more with its utility and also the number crunch gives some nice help too
My K2S0 does a lot of damage, and I think is honestly the reason I don't fall really far overnight. I am usually only just outside the top 50 when I start my matches these days. WIth his offense and crit chance stacked, he hits pretty hard and gets free turns all the time.
He hits really hard for me, and I have yet to come across a comp where the Daze isn't useful. Anakin in Jedi comps, or GK. Zader himself in his comps so he doesn't get a free turn after force crush and if/when he kills someone or SIdious for if I kill someone, or Dooku.
K2 is basically my highest damage dealer with the kit I can't let go of either.
