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?

So according to the meta report, Rex is the lead for about 75% of all #1 arena squads but hey, he's balanced.
I don't get why the people that so objected to zMaul can not apply the same logic to Rex. At least Maul's leadership was confined to his own faction. Unlike Rex.
Rex is unlikely to ever get mass scrutiny because a lot of non-whales rely on his TM gain and tenacity up to combat lack of good speed mods. He's many player's crutch. You correctly point out the hypocrisy as compared to Maul though, Maul never hit 50% usage on GG and his peak was very short, yet you couldn't get away from seeing multiple Maul nerf threads a day. Hardly ever a one for Rex though despite Rex being the #1 used leader by far for months now and hanging steadily at 45-50%+ for that entire time. The next 4 leads combined don't equal his 50% usage. However, the masses of folks that use Rex aren't going to complain about him and cut their own throats. They'll just use the human vs. AI advantage to beat the other Rex teams. Players losing is what generates nerf complaints generally - not usage / lack of diversity nearly as much.
