It is really getting old having to deal with Chaze, Wiggs, CLS, GKN, R2 and whatever the next overpowered rebel/ls toon gets released with day one or very minor reworks to Empire, Sith, DS toons. The devs can't see a problem with 95 out of the top 100 teams are CLS or GKN lead rebel teams? Vader still has no unique, how the heck does that happen? The most feared character in the post clone war timeline and he is a total push over. The maul teams are toast and never had the dominance the current rebel teams have. Droids are dead and have been forever, oh other than the only 2 LS droids oddly enough. It really feels like having built up a dark side roster since day one was a total mistake and with that even continuing on with the game feels like a mistake. When thrawn was released, I quasi viable empire toon they require phoenix to get him, yet with super OP CLS you require Rebels to get him, so LS focused people get to use what they already have to unlock what they want, yet DS focused people get the EA shaft. Seriously, Empire/Sith need a massive rework, not something small, not one Zeta, not the joke that was troopers. But something tangible. Vader, Veers, Tarkin, Palpatine, Sid, RG, Dooku, and lets throw in Droids as well really need some serious help. STOP making new LS characters, STOP with the rebels. You have to fix the damaged caused by Chaze and CLS, either with a nerf that wont happen or with giving DS teams a fighting chance.

Your argument is invalid.
I don't want more toons to make the current empire obsolete, I want the ones in the game which are already the top ranking Empire Characters in Star Wars to be usable.
F2P can and do run the same team. Most people just don't choose to.
Zaul meta was way worse than anything we have now.
IMO, Tenacity up and cleanses are the problem. DS teams need debuffs, and unless you have DT or DS heroes that have irresistable debuffs, you're going to have a rough ride. Plus there aren't a lot of good, fast DS heroes as compared to LS. Thrawn and Nihilus are used because Fracture, Drain Force and Annihilate are irresistible. Tarkin is also a good counter to Rebels right now since his offense/crit down is irresistible as well. With the Talzin release sort of confirming it, it seems that debuffs aren't that useful unless a debuff is irresistable and/or un-debuffable.
But plenty of LS heroes aren't terribly useful either - most Jedi, jawas, clones. So I don't think it's so much a dark side issue, as a general rebel bias.
