I was fortunate enough to have the first Wiggs team on my shard, I built the team with the fastest STH I could (he was my fastest toon at the time). I held rank for a long time.
A competitor of mine, who was close in terms of speed, found that he could outpace my STH by putting his fastest mods on Biggs, so I ended up in a situation where my Wedge was taken out instantly, leaving my STH to boost only 4 remaining toons.
So I responded in kind, putting Biggs up to 205 speed (265 with Wedge and Lando bonuses). My competitor scored some new mods and went to 206. This morning I got a lucky drop and went to 209, I now go before some JEs on my shard.
Despite my current status of having the fastest Biggs, I'm not enjoying this. It feels cheap. I've checked the team compositions on some of the older shards, and they seem to opt for a Wedge lead with a fast STH or Poe, rather than just putting everything into Biggs for a guaranteed first round knockout.
I'm unclear as to why this isn't a "thing", i.e. more widespread? It seems to work. Even against a Rex lead, you can take out Rex before their team moves, pretty much every time. You can take out EP every time. It's like having Raid Han but instead of a stun you get a kill.
Is anyone else seeing this on their shards? If not, why do you think that is?
We do it on our shard. Maybe it's cheap, but until fun sack and rex are rolled out for everyone, I don't feel to bad about it.
