The Death of Rebel and Jedi teams? Palpatine

So I hope on and see Palpatine in the characters and I check him out. Palpatine looks good way to good 40% chance to stun enemies and it hits everyone. Keep in mind this is level one no upgrades and we also have his leader ability which destroys Jedi and Rebels. -23% evasion and potency? Insane. We dont have him yet but just looking at him makes me scared. I also see a rise of stun teams like having Daka RG and Palpatine all together. He also have a unique ability that deals special damage to shocked enemies along with Jedi and Rebels. He seems to good and its starting to freak me out also it makes Jedi pointless why get Jedi when you have 1 character that could destroy your whole team. Yet we don't know yet we dont have his event but in a few hours we will so prepare for the worse.

    I feel like the meta is ever expanding these days and the devs are doing a good job. There's a lot of diversity in my shard and I think this will only make it more so.

    Emperor lead teams will be good and the best thing is it will help against the dodging ability blocking old ben, qgj and STH teams.
    -37% potency and evasion!

    Danger Zone will still sit at rank 1 and not budge. Pappy Palp won't be fast enough to matter.

    The Devs just missed the balance mark here... mostly to blame are the sub stat speed mods tho. They just enable like 3 toons to pull off 18k AOE's before you get to go. Kinda the same as Droids, but they are also super tanky and even heal themselves as you hurt them. Droids fall apart after turn 1.

    Empire/Sith teams will still have the same weaknesses as before. You could already mod up Empire to have like 80% potency... so his leader isnt helping that much.

    The problem is speed and DPS, and Tarkin is to soft to survive. What pappy needed to bring to the table was damage.

    His moves seem to not change too much as he levels, beyond more stun rate and reduction, the lead rises at 1 or 2% per level, and his unique only raises it's damage. Stun goes to 70% and his lightning gets to 15%, yes, a bit op, but not as much as I'd feared.

    @SorcererHex I think rumors the death of Jedi teams at the hands of Palpatine may be premature. I run all Jedi (IGD (L), Anakin, Aayla, QGJ and Yoda) in the arena, and I just mopped the floor with a Sith team of Palpatine (L), Sidius, Dooku, Maul, and RG. I did it for fun, fully expecting to lose horrifically. But, when all was said and done, I still had IGD, Anakin, and Aayla in the green. Of course, Palpatine was only G9, lvl 80, 7*, fully modded, but even with a couple extra gear levels, I don't think it would make that much of a difference.

    Long live the Jedi. I still have yet to find the team Jedi can't beat on offense (but, admittedly, I haven't face the Danger Zone team yet).

    I mean those are good anti-jedi toons but I think any Palp team without Vader is missing the plot. Plus, Yoda is probably the second best counter in the game to Empire/Sith, at least when on offense.
