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 ...

I agree but I am not talking about the partially slower teams you attack, but thise that are speedy. Imagine a team with maxed Rey, QGJ and GS. They all before and each can one shot IG-88. The only way to win is if the AI is horrible.
The only one of those that has a guaranteed move before my team is QGJ, if he is the leader. GS is a coin toss with my GS and Rey moves after him, so does QGJ if he doesn't lead the team himself.
If my GS calls an assist, and if the assist crits, I move again. That guarantee me 2 attacks minimum in the first turn, at 149 speed, and up to 4-5 assuming I crit (which is roughly 65-68% crit chance for maxed droids under HK 47 lead): Geo attack,Geo's assisting character attack, guaranteed. If the assisting toon crit, that character attacks again, and then if it was 86, his assist, if it was HK47 or IG88, there is a chance that they get enough crits in the AOE to shoot again, single target.
If the enemy has QGJ, and he is attacking vs my helpless AI, yes, I'm probably toast. Me, and everyone else, probably, barring exceptional RNG luck. But when I attack that team of your example, his AI-Controlled QGJ has 80% chances to attack anyone not named Geonosian Soldier (plus a small chance that my Geo survives if targeted, through a lucky dodge or whatever). After he attacks, it's my turn, and I can even the fight, killing one of his chars. That's a big difference with the previous meta, when, after his Poe acts, he doesn't just attack me with QGJ. He does with Rey and GS too.
There are faster teams (Rebels, for example, or full-fast-jedis), but acting with several characters at speed 149 is good enough to be competitive. And, even better, it opens you different possibilities as a squad. I could add Poggle as a fifth member, but also could add QGJ (my favored choice), or Yoda, or Dooku, or Clone trooper Sargent -phase 1. All of them gain TM with his basic attacks 50% or more (or whenever called for assist, in dooku's case), and they have decent speed, and ways to help my droids. Far more diverse than "you have to get Poe because he is the only valid option" meta we had.
