RG is better than Poe for classic droid teams, so far, from playing top ten since RG got buffed and top 10 since December.
This is coming from a #1 Droid team user on MASSIVELY competitive shard... every top 10 guy is quiggles, Geo, Rey, FOTP, 7 star yoda, ect.
Poe cannot stop 2x one shot attempts.
Every team must compete against Quiggles lead assist attack, followed by Rey, followed by Yoda and/or insert Sid/Dooku. All of this happens before Poe.
If you can survive by a SLIVER of health on IG-88 from the opening Sid/Rey salvo, then RG activates and you can usually win. EVEN IF Quiggles takes away RG taunt, that's OK.. RG has eaten 2x one shotting attacks. That's all that matters.
Past that, speed is handled by either Poggle up or HK crit speed boost. Poggle is more reliable right now and gives you the ability to one shot their Rey possibly with Geo in the team due to the 25% dmg boost.
Droids trying to survive the "long game" (IE after turn 1) just don't cut it. Not on my shard, anyway.
Droids are just the poor man's not-rey/QGJ/Geo/Yoda setup. They got nerfed to hard. Even phasma led teams with Geo/Daka/Sid ect have more utility right now with the crazy defensive proc rates.
