FO is the example of balance

This squad is the epitomy of balance imo. Some characters are easy accessible (phasma, FOO), others in the mid tier range (kylo) and some are hard farms (FOST/FOTP). abilities wise they have such great synergy with a nice blend of attack and defence. their abilities when zetas play amazingly well together which is how a squad should be, but the requirements to achieve this (I would say 3 of them need zetas) is steep enough that it is not immedietly accessible. The perfect mix.
Now let's looks at another faction *ahem* sith. With one Zeta fairly easily obtainable character with the most broken lead, a character everyone got for free that is fine at 3* and can one shot you, and add in any three characters you want that don't even have to be sith, but for maximum annoyance let's throw in palp Zavage and +1. You have a squad that can be built in no time time at all, only one character that needs a Zeta, and they don't even have to be past their unlock * level to be too powerful. heck even your mods can be trashy...
PS I can get rank 1 everyday with a rex lead against many Zaul competitors. so no I'm not comparing about not being number 1. I'm addressing the OP nature of one squad that puts all others squads to shame with minimal effort. Why should this one squad with onenzeta be able to beat my own squad of all gear XI well modded, and even includes GK? Why should this squad be able to beat full Zeta FO teams so easily? why should this one squad be able to hold so well on defence when it's not even maxed out in terms of *, mods and even gear level.
PPS Cant wait to drop chaze on these guys.
PPPS evasion sucks
Rant over. But seriously, without Zaul, we had a golden period where there were many many different teams in our shard. Now it's Zaul and Rex leads everywhere, with some who still use QGZ.

Many comps can beat chaze.
Never said it was unbeatable, I said every team would have them. The other 3 could vary however everyone would have Chaze in order to stay competitive. At least now you see Sith teams without Chaze. Take away the Zaul and you will have nothing but Chaze.
August oh this game, aka November?
Lol on any aged shard, non-Zaul or rex teams get slaughtered. FO couldn't hold top 20 on my shard, and maybe top 50 if they're lucky. Same with QGJ.
Depends on the time zone
Lucky guy.
At least the zaul teams you have a wide variety of compositions you can use
I'm able to get top with Rex lead, zavage, zoba, zylo and phasma, teams like this wouldn't work if the game was the way you wanted it
The Maul teams are easy to come by, just like the Biggs/Wedge teams early-mid game. They are f2p teams that can take the top relatively easily. That's a good thing for most players.
I was really happy when I first broke top 20 with my zVader team, and there was a great variety for awhile.
But I had been working on my Vader team while I was running Rebels, and while I was running Vader I was working on my Rex squad. Now that I'm running Rex, I am working on other comps.
The "meta" teams are always easy teams to build, and they are easy to counter. I think a FO squad with decent mods and the full zeta set can take just about anything on offense and a good deal on defense as well. You don't see them because they are a pain to grind and require multiple zetas (not just the one needed for Maul to work), as you pointed out, not because they aren't "viable" at top arena.
In the current meta, FO on offense can easily smash zQGJ and Rex lead teams. Going against Zaul depends on the comp and a coin flip. FO is terrible on defense though; falling from top 10 down to 30s and 40s daily is common.
