Well my phasma led team took and held rank1 today
It was taken twice and I got it back from a team of poggle, Poe, ig88,ig86 and hk47
Phasma at 7* has a ton of health and armour and has more then enough opportunity to use her abilities
First of all, his team would be much better if he uses phasma or Dooku instead of Poggle. Droid teams are very bad at defense, I think we all know that. The AI has no idea whom to target. You said yourself that team can take your spot which means it is able to beat your phasma led team.
Phasma only works if the other toons of the team can dish out damage because phasma herself doesn't hit hard, yet she as a leader and a meter controller lacks the speed to protect her toons. That's the fatal flaw of this build. For example, if you were to face a team like this
Sid
QGJ
Tie pilot
Leia
Poe
It's very likely that the hitters on your team will be killed before phasma has a chance to control meters, you see? Even if you manage to take turn, you are forced to target Poe because Poe offers better protection for his squad than phasma.
I'm not saying phasma is a bad character. She in fact has many useful tools like you said. When put in the right situation, she can make a tremendous difference. For example I would take her over Poggle for that droid team. But i do believe her leadership skill is overblown in its effectiveness and many people are overlooking her obvious flaws.
