There are counters to speed. There are strategies you can use to counter faster teams.
Look at the the available toons right now. The two fastest teams would be droids with BB8 (starts with 40%tm) and Sith under zMaul (start with 20%TM), preferably with Sith Assassin to speed them up even more. But those two teams aren't anywhere near the Meta.
Rex is a solid counter to speed. The enemy team attacks you, you gain TM, and get to attack back.
Veteran smugglers are a counter to speed. You take a lot of turns, and their damage stacks up. They will only take one action... And one shot one of your toons with that.
DT and Krennic together are a counter to speed, especially in mirror matches when both sides have EP leader. The enemy goes first, and DT retaliates with his granade for an AOE cooldown increase.
And yes, speed is important. But it's not the only thing.
