Let me start by saying my flame shields are up so take ur best shot. But the truth is, the end result of this update is GOOD for the game. Higher speed goes first, no more 6 way tie leaving the result to chance. No doubt this was handled poorly, but looking to the future I can see tons of new strategy becoming viable. The days of the Poe vs Poe coin flip is over and personally I couldn't be happier. Flame away...
Edit: Thanks
@EA_Jesse and the rest of the team. This is a step in the right direction bro.

Personally I would have loved to have known a month or so back, because I would have theorised and come to the conclusion that a droid team would become untenable in the high ranks of arena.
The misleading update notes are why i am angry.
It could be a step in the right direction if f2p got another elite unit in exchange. Many f2p put resources and time into Poe in order to counter p2w, as at that time it was the best alternative.
Now f2p lost their top char, while p2w audience still have elite troops readily available.
Earlier, it was Poe + Leya + QGJ + Rey vs Poe + Sid + Lumi + resistance pilot, let's say. Now, just delete Poe from both sides of the equation and see what it means.
For p2w vs p2w, now it will be much more diverse and fun. For f2p vs f2p, also. But f2p vs p2w no longer exists at all
How was he stealth nerfed?
We did. We just got QJC/Yoda and others are on the way no doubt.
Check out the sticky on "speed changes and Poe".
I love the speed change though. Much more fun.
I haven't really looked into this, but would droids be viable with Lobot as leader?
P2w did. F2p will require a lot of time to get 5 Jedis to 7* - p2w already have or are close to. The gap has widened, although was wide enough already. F2p don't have 5 Jedi at high level, as there were no need to farm that many Jedi before, and resources were limited. While those who have Leia, QGJ, obi wan etc on 7*, have everything else on 7* too. Still, earlier it was possible to counter them, now it is not, and they will get Yoda today, while f2p - maybe in a month
They are still viable and probably still the best f2p team that can be farmed (no cantina shipment characters). Tho they are not as good as before.
I've read it but how does it effect only Poe?
I am mostly f2p outside of a couple worthless chrome pulls and the daily crystal shipment so >$60. I did the math last nite and I will have my 7* Yoda in 30 days (assuming the challenge runs one week and comes back in 3 weeks). I don't see the problem here. Guys who spend literally thousands should have an advantage or at least a head start. The enjoyment I get from these games comes from beating the whales without spending the money. If it takes mean extra month or two I'm fine with that. U realize if they gave us unlimited access to everything in the game on day one how incredibly bored we would be?
It doesn't effect only Poe, but they changes they made are nothing like the "pre update" notes we recieved last week. This is mainly what everyone is hacked-off about, and rightfully so.
Speed damage is everything now.
QGJ at lvl 80 will make it worse.
Droids were viable with Poe.
Now it's pretty much GG
What new meta are people talking about???
That's simple. Dooku goes first.
Nope its leia and hoth scout with ackbar lead.
Everyone expected a nerf until jesse said "no nerf that effects anyone".
This update will bring tons of new options which were previously just not viable. The days seeing the exact same 8-9 characters in every team are over. Plus the ability to see your opponent adds a deeper level of strategy once people begin to strengthen their rosters.
