Um. Chars with high hit points and high dmg like FOTP aren't going anywhere. When FOTP gets 7 star he is over 10k health and his basic attack does the most dmg so ya you will still see him.
By demise I was using a little hyperbole to prove a point that he was no longer the meta king...along with Poe. They are both still very high end and skilled characters, but definitely beatable at a high rate by other builds. What this did reveal to me though is that once he doesn't have advantage and the opponent isn't overwhelmed by a turn meter ally, TIE looks totally balanced because his mediocre speed and inability to do anything but damage one character is exposed. He's awesome when he's on and can hit faster than his speed, but he's pretty limited and vanilla in what he brings to a team when he's in a fair fight.
If people succeed in nerfing his damage and hitting ability than he will quickly fall off the map I believe, which will happen naturally anyway to a lesser degree as people's rosters fill out more and he's capped at gear 8. Nerfing him now though is a bad idea. He's correctly balanced - you just need more elements of the roster built to expose why he is actually balanced.
This is why we need to hold off for probably a few months on any nerf this or nerf that proclamations. More toons are coming in the form of people unlocking more of the roster and CG is going to release more units...that's on top of high gear that we still don't know what it does (gear 9) coming as well at future levels beyond 70.
