Tenacity vs Potency how to determine it's applied?

I faced a rogue one team today in my GAC. It was zzJyn with zCasian and zK2SO. I used my R3 wampa against it. After using my AOE attack K2SO just dazed me which was the only turn I took after and then Jyn and Casian destroyed my wampa by continuous turns. I had the guy modded for tenacity but still he didn't even resist a single debuff despite his tenacity higher than enemy potency.
From my understanding higher tenacity means lower chances of debuff applied so why is the difference of rate of debuff applied here vs any other match even rebels using cls trio or jtr r2 and bb8 combo has less chances of applying debuff against even g12 or g13 characters?
Can anyone explain

    In addition, the calculation is %Ten - %Pot = Chance to Resist, minimum 15% (so if their pot is actually higher than your ten, you'd still have a 15% chance to resist). In order to be essentially immune to a given character's debuffs, you'd need to have 100 more ten than they have pot. And that'd be after the buffs from Jyn and Cassian, so you're looking at 300% tenacity minimum to resist all of Cassian's debuffs. Less for the others, but still a lot.
  • Also, Jyn has stacking potency with her unique. "Jyn gains 10% Potency each time she scores a Critical Hit."

    Another point to add to the Pot vs Ten calculation is Tenacity Down cannot be resisted and will give all debuffs the max 85% to apply. (Although it didn't affect this battle, I figured it's worth adding)
