Rex lead. Will it ever end?
So Maul had a brief run at the top before getting a hard counter in R2 - and arguably Rex was already a counter to zMaul anyway. So how come Rex just keeps rolling on and on seemingly without end?

As for Rex being OP I never commented to that effect or intended to insinuate it. I was wondering why - given that he had been around for a good while - he still remains the outstanding squad leader given others have come and gone in far less time.
I know you didn't call him OP. Was adding that in there because others have. And my whole point is that he's not the outstanding squad leader. He's the fallback if you don't have an outstanding squad leader.

Question though. Why should a Rex-like leader be so effective in terms of knitting together so many disparate characters and factions? Again what is so particularly original about a dog's dinner of a squad that works purely because of a Rex leadership? Or is that your idea of thinking outside of the box?
And another point of my post was that the team does not "work purely because of a Rex leadership". It's just that, there's no other obvious leader, so Rex provides some benefit to the team, helps a little to make up for shortcomings. I ran the typical triple cleanse, minus Rex, plus Thrawn, with a GK lead and that also worked great. Rex is not what makes or breaks the team.

Rex isn't OP. TM is king. Lots of squad have TM manipulation. It's why Thrawn does so well. Resistance, Empire, even Ewoks are decent with the TM gain.
That's why squads like rebels can't catch up. Not enough TM manipulation. It's why only certain rebels are good such as Wedge, Biggs, Chirrut, Baze, STHan. TM will always run this game.
Guess you haven't played against a Wiggs, R2, Fulcrum, GK team yet. :S
