I feel your pain buddy. I held a number 1 Arena spot under an HK lead for nearly a year - vids to prove it. His lead was considered OP at one point (I know, unfathomable, but imagine that on Rebels instead of droids).
Sadly, since Nihilus and Chaze, this game has suffered from some ugly power creep. When one toon rises to the top, another sinks down. Leader skills are based on factions nowadays and have been for years. Droids aren't a faction, they're a race. It makes sense that race-specific leader skills would fall by the wayside with faction synergies being the current model.
But honestly, why do you think HK should ever have had a leader skill? He's never led anything in his life other than 'Best Star Wars Droid' polls. The answer is they threw it in early in the game for a bit if variety - a fringe ability for fans, at best. I fully expected him to lose it outright but I would have been much happier if they re-worked it to only have an effect against non-droid meatbags - that, at least, would have been in-character.
This game isn't designed to let you settle. It's designed to encourage you to constantly evolve. Evolve or die my friend.. evolve or die.
