How about instead of modifying new characters to be effective in the current meta, just nerf the current meta? Get rid of turn 1 taunt on Baze and suddenly a whole ton of strategies become viable, including Ahsoka as she is now.
I'd like to see them change Han Solo: his Shoot First! ability doesn't WAI with auto-taunt. You're not actually shooting first. You're shooting after someone taunts.
If they did one of 2 things with Han Solo, you'd get a lot more interesting strategies against auto-taunt teams:
1. Han Solo actually shoots before the fight starts - any auto-bonuses (Ahsoka's Crit Immunity from JKA, Shoretrooper's taunt, etc) have not started yet, because Han shoots before the fight breaks out. This way, he can stun a single enemy regardless of auto-taunt.
2. HS shoots after automatic effects, BUT in addition to stunning, his first shot dispels all buffs. I actually like this one more: Yes, you get to limit who HS stuns via your auto-taunt, but HS then gets rid of the auto-taunt and you have to deal with any damage from any toons faster than you without the advantage of auto-taunt.
I actually like the 2nd one better, but either way: HS doesn't really work as needed right now when auto taunt is involved. He doesn't really get to shoot before others take an action - he only shoots before others pull the trigger on a blaster.

Why Rebel can not counter Rebel, lol
It is skill counter not Faction counter.
