Who do you clear taunt with if you don't use IPD?
T3 also clears buffs. Some GG nuke comps don't try and get around taunt though.

My problem is with squads that have G11 IG-88, G10 T3 with two zetas and G8 IPD, which are still climbing with ease.
I can pretty much guarantee you that no Nuke squad with a G10 T3 is climbing easily. They are losing lots of battles and buying several refreshes every day.
G10 T3 just isn't tanky enough to stand up well to Reliced SE. He dies too early and the comp fails. Now he might be beating weak SE to climb up into the top 20, but I'd be surprised if that team ever makes it into the top 10. Either that or I'd have to seriously consider the strength of the modding and gear of all the SE teams on your server.
After Traya came out I was taking 1st with a pure JTR resistance team. It was ridiculously hard. Had to get rid of all my damage and mod for CC exclusively, then rely on getting enough tm gain from exposes and crits to kill Traya before anyone on their side went.... But it cost loads of refreshes to do so. It is absolutely the same situation with your g10 T3 scenario. Can't climb easily until he is g12, and then it requires some very weird but amazing mods to actually mod the team well.
You might look at Nuke squad mods and think they are junk, but no nuke squad is climbing easily with junk mods They are using very specific mods with weird stats that had to be farmed just as intently as people farm pure speed and offense mods. They look like junk mods, but getting the right set of mods for a nuke squad to have the stats where it worked easily took me months of farming and lots of gear on them. I've talked to plenty of players with Nuke squads who say they are not reliable now that relics are out unless you at least Relic t3 as well.
I personally take 1st every day with a Nuke squad. 3 out of 5 are reliced, 1 is g12, and IPD is g11. I couldn't win against high relic teams until I really beefed T3 up. I am still having trouble because my GG is only R3 but now my supporting cast is sound enough.
So while I understand and agree with complaints about people climbing easily with junk mods and low gear, I disagree that situation is actually occurring here. Anyone climbing "easily" has good mods and good gear. Squads with low gear and junk mods might be climbing high, but easily is not the word for it and they're paying well for the "privilege".
