@BubbaFett I thought your comment about hera in the meta report was interesting so had a look. She is there but quite a bit down with only 2 users getting 1st with her.
I think this makes sense, don't know how old your shard is but my 10 month old one has quite a few Traya leads already, with people who can get 1st using a mix of Revan, Palp, Bastila, JTR, CLS and 1 Qira and 1 KRU. Given the average shard formation rate there's probably only 6 or 7 that have formed since the Bastila Marquee event. Given how over powered she is there's very little chance a shard that was active during her marquee has any pheonix getting 1st. Also there was a palpatine event in the middle of september which people in the first few shards formed after bastila were probably developed enough to take part in. So what you see in the meta report is that the people who started the game in the last 6 - 8 weeks have not yet signed up to swgoh.gg in large numbers. I have to admit only 2 Hera getting 1st is still surprisingly low though.
With respect to the OP's original topic though Revan is plenty strong enough. Most people are falling much less with Revan than with Traya. I think he will distort the game for newer players... he's a character that a new player can get early in the game with just 4-5 months of relatively easy f2p farms that can only be reliably beaten by a raid character that takes about 10 months of dolphin/pay to play building of raid teams.
