New meta (rey)

Rey doesn't have a place in the meta from what I've seen. The videos big youtubers like MG and ahnald have shown are completely misleading. They have like twice the speed on every one of their characters than the guys they go up against, so of course they're going to win.
BB8 is far too squishy to be viable in arena, and old ben is far too slow to be a lone tank. That team will be destroyed by the current meta on defence, given similar mods on each team. Rey won't change the meta one bit IMO. She seems completely underwhelming.
Having said that, I'm still going to try to unlock her, purely because I don't want to wait 5 months to get her. I'm at 48/100 and 69/100 on both vets. If I continue to place 1st everyday in ships and arena I should make it as long as my drop rate stays average.

The other thing about some of those vids is them repeating the company line of her being a defense God. Yet all they showed was how good she was on offense under control of a player.

Well good on offense under player control means 0 about defense.

Don't get me wrong I am happy players are finding a new comp to use but I will not be impressed till it is a full faction running. You can always find a mix of characters to win in offense epically using the cls R2 duo
