While the trooper rework is great for these characters, I don't know that every rework or faction pass should make that team the next META...in this case, I think it makes them not suck so hard, which is exactly what they needed. I am actually curious as to whether stormtrooper would be a good third tank for Chirpatine now, but I'm not ready to dump gear into him just yet, especially as I have another p3 team that's been doing more damage than Chirpatine so that's my priority. Sad to hear that people haven't quite yet found a spot for them in raids yet.

It's also really sad that Phoenix is complete garbage. We're halfway through season 2 of Rebels now, and I'm really liking the characters and the show. I would say the utility of Phoenix squadron is maybe for their ships...I wouldn't know personally, since levelling up Ghost is my next pet project once I have tank teams in order. It was impossible to tell from the event how well they'd do in arena since the opponents were such a joke.

I agree that not all new releases/ reworks should be meta, but in this case they should either be: easy to farm and viable in arena for new players or at least counters for one faction or another. If the only thing they do is not sucking then nobody will use them. Nobody uses mediocre toons when they have better alternatives, in no phase of the game, unless he is a big fan of the sw characters. Also you don't anounce mediocre toons with such a big hype like they did with both the phoenix squad and the several empire releases/ reworks.
