Team Droids on Roids...the new Meta?
Using Rey Jedi Training (lead), with BB8, R2, Imperial Probe Droid, and Chopper, the synergy has been amazing. Not fully zetaed yet...but it can only get better. :) We're thinking this is the new ...

As an impartial observer, I would say that posting profiles to compare in this case is sort of silly, as one appears to be FTP and the other, well, I would think G12 Grievous is a luxury many FTP'ers do not have. Just sayin.

I didn't unlock JTR so cannot speak to offense. JTR / RJT has become the predominant lead in our shard (Dec 2016 / Jan 2017) with still some CLS and even a few GK / Zarris hold outs. We have fortunately not been inflicted with the NS pox.
I can say that beating JTR teams isn't all that challenging provided you have a clear path to fracture her. Anything that gets in the way of that clear path and starts the little ball bobbling with his repetitive pointless buff (other than to get to his mega-buff special) makes these teams more challenging. We mostly see Kenobi as a tank with either Han, Old Ben, Chopper or Thrawn as the fifth. The Old Ben and Chopper teams are pretty similar in nature - in either case there's usually a pretty clear path to Rey through a variety of dispels (I still run Baze exactly for this reason) - K2 would definitely change that as the fifth in that comp, since he would require CLS' buff immunity and now we're getting RNG-ish on whether or not Rey has lost stealth while GK's taunt is down so Thrawn has a path to fracture her. Chopper comps are pretty easy, you just need to wait the extra turn for Chopper's taunt to clear and because he's so fast and getting TM, you don't have to wait long. Pretty much the same with OB, but he can be sped up by Thrawn. K2's ability to regain that taunt on counter, requiring that buff immunity instead of being more selective about it's use depending on how the match unfolds....could be cause for trouble.
Either way, theory crafting is nice, and watching that theory crafting devolve the way this thread did is a little sad given the contributors' obvious passion for the game, it sounds like an apples to apples comparison (gear and mods) of the two comps would be the only answer.
Not theorycrafting for me. I actually run K2 with my JTR in my arena squad. Buff immunity doesn't actually stop K2 either because R2's auto cleanse when he crits. K2 gets buff immunity, counters, crits, loses buff immunity and gains taunt. You have to daze him... and even then, you're still stuck attacking him usually because everyone else is stealthed.
