Is it worth putting resources into HK-47?
I know some droid teams use him.. but most these days seem to use Poggle instead. I've never run a droid team but I have enough shards for IG-86 and IG-88 to both get to 6* (they aren't leveled up yet...

Lots of good back and forth here, nice quality discussion.. thanks!
For reference I am on a November shard that is very active in my time zone. Any sign of weakness is mercilessly exploited. So much so that I won't even try to use Rey below 6*. :)

Got what your saying. In the 100 rank ladder I am in, there is 1 Rey and maybe 2 yoda... A few 5-6* QGJ but in my ladder at this time Lobot would keep 88 alive. As in the top 100 almost everyone has either Sid or phasma leads. Perhaps in other arena ladders this wouldn't work, and most defiantly Lobot wouldn't change anything in the top 10 of my ladder, however he could be the difference between rank 93 and rank 20 for me. Given proper gear and ability levels, I think in my ladder till I get to rank 20 I would be successful with Lobot.
The thing about opinions is we each have an arena ladder some of us are in the same. Some in others. And each ladder has its own meta. While in your meta and top tier Lobot wouldn't help at all in mine he could actually mean hitting top 20 and then switching in another team to compete there. And we each have an opinion of what is meta and ways around it as well as ways to compete in it. I respect everyone's opinion as I understand we all face different challenges in our own arena ladders. I study my ladder and try to come to a solution to the rise of rank. For me, I think health and armor team focus could get me to 1 on my arena ladder. I started out poorly informed and made horrible decisions. However in the last month my strategy has taken me from 600-700 rank to being in the top 100 and by next weekend, when I complete a couple more characters and get the gear up, I am confident I will crack the top 50 maybe more. And I have other characters I farm for future team plans.
The problem here is the difference in the maturity of servers. From what Drew is saying it sounds like a Lobot lead can be good for droids on a younger server. My server isn't even as old as Qeltar's and no one is using a Lobot lead in the top 100 although there are 7 HKs and 3 Poggles and 2 of the Poggles are higher than any HK so maybe Poggle is the best leader. :| I still think HK is worth an unlock if the android exclusive event is any good.
