I haven’t read the whole thread but i think it still goes about chopper vs K2 in a JTR, Bb8, r2, GK +x squad on Defense.
I can say this: For me it’s x = scav Rey. I faced teams with x = chopper and the main problem is: chopper does get one turn, maybe. That’s it. Everything that is not resistance or gets TM through some mechanic (always thought about b2, but I don’t have him geared) or has an auto taunt is pretty much dead weight on defense against JTR. Comparable mods of course.
So if k2 Counter attacks, that would be nice but wouldn’t really matter, because everyone is stealthier. If he inflicts daze, that would be golden against a JTR team. But since he does that only on his special, I doubt his usefulness, although I haven’t faced that combination yet.

See that's just the thing. This thread isn't about JTR, BB8, r2, GK+ K2 or Chopper although that's what Woodroward wants to debate. This is about JTR, R2, BB8, Chopper, IPD. In this squad I feel like Chopper is a champ.

That's your (incorrect) interpretation of it. I know you're in love with chopper, but this thread was about JTR with droids and the new META. That was the initial claim. It asked for opinions. I gave detailed information on why K2 will improve how the team holds on defense over Chopper (contributing to the thread), and you came in here simply to say I was wrong without any experience to back up your claims. That's my problem with your posts. You aren't here to contribute, you're here to battle me.

Fine, let's go over it one more time although I doubt you will agree with anything I have to say. So far you have simply glazed over all my valid points and go straight to your bizarre claim I have no experience on the subject because my Chopper is gear 12 and K2SO only gear 11. Meanwhile your K2SO is gear 12 and Chopper only gear 9 yet you are the expert on all things tank.

1. The thread is about a 4 droid RTJ squad using IPD and Chopper. This squad is extremely fast and each droids turn feeds TM to other characters. Chopper adds chance of assist to droids when they use an ability. If he crits ID CD is reduced and an additional chance to reduce that droids CDs as well. This assist will also buff another droid. Woodroward skimmed over this as important because ID gives these buffs. What he doesn't see is these buffs are important to speed your droids in order to use ID sooner. Chopper also adds a dispel to the squad. What woodroward skipped over is this dispel removes 10% TM per buff removed to all enemies and gives him 25% protection back per buff removed. Chopper is VERY fast and will attack much more often than K2SO and removes TM from the entire enemy squad with his special. This gives your whole squad even more turns.
2. K2SO is slow but counterattacks. If the enemy uses R2 then enemies will be stealthed... no counters. K2SO will receive foresight from R2 when he uses his stealth. This foresight will evade an attack which... you guessed it... again no counterattack. At this point he has done nothing but stand there. He will then Daze someone. If he hasn't been dazed, stunned, fractured then he is still very slow and doesn't add much beyond offense down. Sure he's tough but Chopper regenerates 25% protection per buff dispelled and gains 25% evasion while taunting. Just as tough all things considered. You have loaded up on defense mods and are super slow? Chopper can just as easily load up on the exact same defense mods and still be faster than K2SO.

I'm sure this is where Woodroward in all his wisdom will declare I have zero experience. If only I had 3 more gear pieces on K2SO then I could also know everything there is to know about this game. One can only dream I suppose.
