Poe has legitimately been over-nerfed
(Please read the post before responding. I am not claiming he is useless or asking him to be returned to what he was like before.) When the initial nerf to Poe (tenacity and expose) was announced, I ...

After Barriss was nerfed we heard the same thing: "she's still the leader on half the top 20 teams on my shard!" Well, it takes time for people to change their teams. Anyone see a lot of Barriss in PvP now? Right.
I am not saying Poe will disappear from PvP. He wasn't nerfed nearly as hard and is still quite useful. But the tenacity and speed changes are unnecessary and are causing him to underperform: having him go after Rey is actually kind of a big deal.
I still see Barriss in PvP, not a lot, but at the same rate i see Daka and JC. Lumi is a bit more present on most teams but that's also because the fact that she easy farmable, the best healer and also has nice dps. Barris is also hard to farm. The only one i never see is Talia. Barriss is still the best healer to be paired with tanks. And very powerful in GW. All healers seem almost equally represented now.
But the same can't be said about tanks. Have you ever seen anyone with Royal Guard? With Chewbaka at top #500? With Stormtrooper? And let's not mention non taunt tanks. Poe is over-represented. And the -1 speed can hardly called a nerf. Only 1 char goes before him with the -1 speed change. And i believe the tenacity change was a bit helpful though. He still resists a lot of healing debuffs by Sid which causes him to get healed and turn the tides if your team doesn't have high dps heroes.
Like i said earlier, as long as he is still the only viable tank, the buffs are completely uncalled for.
PS. If you still think Poe underperforms, then feel free to mention which tanks overperform so people can switch to them instead.
