Is Resistance (becoming) obsolete?

All teams will eventually become obsolete without reworks, but seeying as JTR is a heroes journey character ea/cg will probably make a conscious effort to make sure she/they will not become/remain a waste of resources.
The JTR-resistance team is still on of the best teams ingame at the moment aswell.
Will resistance be my first choice to gear at the moment? No, but you probably won't regret gearing them either.

As a vocal critic of jtr in-game, i gotta say. Her resistance team has been, and will continue to be a force to be reckoned with. It's a top notch pvp team, and the most obvious p1 hstr team to field.

Gamechangers are, in general, more focused on the hottest pvp stuff. Don't take their words at face value.

It's preference. Mobilegamer said he won't gear them up because he used a g8 Finn team for attack in GW and TA. Now a g8 team likely won't work the same way and he would rather spend those resources elsewhere.

My trooper is already g12 for p1 STR, and I got Poe to g12 for ships. I could easily get Finn to 11, and I'm sure it wouldn't be too much to get pilot to 9 or 10. I'm in the wait and see camp; if they end up having viability for GA and TW still, I wouldn't mind bumping the gear on those last two.

I think they’re going to be the opposite of obsolete. I see it this way:
I thought that the release of Episode 8 would result in Snoke and many more powerful characters from the new trilogy. When the new characters (JTR and KRU) ultimately under performed, I figured that we would have to wait until Episode 9 for the real stuff.
The end of this trilogy allows them to fill in all the gaps, Snoke, Hux, Resistence leaders etc. I think that the inevitable power creep will allow them to release crazy sequel trilogy characters, and that means a lasting Resistance meta.

JTR dominating the meta for 3 months was underperforming?

Sorry, I meant to compare it to recent metas. CLS and Revan when released absolutely dominated arena, I mean look at how many Revans are top 50 on your shard. Traya was very dominant as well. But JTR in my shard never had a firm position, although meta, she seemed relatively easy to conquer. That’s why you hardly see any JTR teams in arena now.

On my shard, JTR teams didn't start getting beat until Palp and Vader reworks and Sion came out (with his added synergy to Nihilus). Before that, it seemed like it was all JTR. If CLS was contending at all, I don't remember. Only one person was competing with a different team...he used a gimmick where he did Palp's health drain thing and then probe droid could blow up on the first turn. But his squad fell in 30 seconds on defense.

In my guild the difference between people with JTR and those without is pretty apparant on the Sith Raid score sheet...

Grand Arena: once you start going against people with a Revan / ReyJT / CLS / all on defense, it's hard to say she's not relevent...

Is she the number 1 toon in the game, no. Is she the main toon that I am missing, yes :'(

Well I guess because of JTR’s short term as meta, she seems less important. Good for raids however.

My go to HSTR P1 team is JTR, R2, C-3PO, BB-8 and RT. Need two more pieces to G12 C3PO, but the rest are G12. Been hitting around 4 to 4.5 million on my runs. Finn will need to be tested to see how he works to see if the team is obsolete. I hope not since in TB I frequently use his team with Poe, BB-8, RT and RP. With the lower TM gain, not sure if it will still work well.

Let's not forget that Resistance and FO will likely get a boost this December.
