It's never one person but like Coolhand_Luke its when ever I see Dooku, Daka with Phasma as lead and for the very same reason... that team can easily and not uncommonly lead you to not even have a turn if you have a team of slow moving characters... Basically it forces you into using a QGJ lead team so you can take out both Dooku and Old Daka
HK lead teams used to be problematic prior to the precise speed changes.. not so much any more... a full first order team still gives me headaches.
But there isn't really one character that makes me go "oh poo" as all characters can be countered... its usually what combination they are in.

5-7* FOTP. The person normally has GS or some other heavy hitter to worry about as well (or Sid so I can't heal at least one person if I focus FOTP, but he'll kill at least one person if I don't).
I'm with the OP on this one...Fives is a substantially underrated/underused character and a major pain in GW. Totally confirmation bias here, but on defense it sure feels like he counters EVERYTHING. And with brick house HP, that speed down in play on each one of those shots...ugh...then when he calls in the assist...really annoying.
Any team of three counter attackers, Daka plus Sid. That healing immunity makes it extremely hard to make efficient use of your heals, to be ready for the next fight. So you gotta take out Sid first. And stun/ability block Daka so she can't undo your hard work.
Then you need to take out Daka so she doesn't resurrect Sid. And only once that is over with, you have to look forward to a battle vs a bunch of characters who will cost a lot of your own HP to take down.
7 star Rey with Dooku. I just don't have the man power to kill her before she goes. Coming up against them always = half my A squad dead by the end of the match no matter how many retreats

Makes me wish that I had invested in him...haha.
It almost the same when you use him, and every time Kylo Aoe's, fives counter, so Kylo resets his Aoe, therefore keeping him from giving heal block

A maxed out team of Poggle, GS, IG-86&-88, Poe, for the 5th time, in the same GW
Yep, this. The whole point of the team is killing you 1 by 1 and if that didn't work, IG-88. Was lucky the one team I faced today didn't have Poe, but still took some puzzling to keep my team alive.

Agreed with you, Fives is a bit ridiculous with his stat distribution and counter +bonus attack. Very tanky and will punish you for attacking him with a +50% damage on his counters. Very underrated character, hes good.
For the record Im not saying nerf or he is overpowered. Solid build.

Neither am I. It's just that I hate seeing him in galactic warr because I know I'm gonna take some damage
There's not a specific character I cringe when I see them, but as a lvl 62 account, I cringe when I pull what is clearly a higher level player's suicide squad. At least I assume that's what's happening when I see 5 random dps characters teamed up that don't have a hope in the world of completing GW. And I assume there are people in the low 50's who occasionally run into my IG-86, GS, Ahsoka, Jawa, and Talia crew (sorry folks!). It's always possible to get through those teams, but I'm often forced to start the following battle with Lumi's, Daka's, and JC's heals all on cooldown.

I pop a heal after the first turn usually. Then its cooled down by the next battle. JC is one of my most valuable GW toons for the 3 turn heal cool

Yes, definitely, it' a situation where JC shines, as he can usually limp me along early in the next match until Lumi's big heal is available. But while those suicide teams deal a lot of annoying damage, they also die annoyingly fast. It's not like a battle where you can spend 1-2 turns killing Chewie as the last man standing, giving your cooldowns time to reset before the next one.
Agree with others. Kylo + Sid + Dooku + Fives are an annoying bunch.
On the other hand, thank you to everyone running Barriss or Chewie. And extra special thank you if you run both.
95% (that's no exaggeration) of the squads I face in GW have Sid. I don't think that is coincidence since many of my best toons are Jedi. Not to mention everybody that plays seems to have Sid. He can be a real pain with his dodge rate against Jedi and his healing immunity.

Yes!!!

I go straight for sid every time
Yeah when they're together they're quite annoying. I'm actually happy I starred up Luke cause his leader bonus actually help a lot in GW

It's odd how in arena this is no concern at all, but. In GW? It's make or break for the longevity of your team.

Add Rey anywhere and forget it!

I ran into this team in GW today... what a mess.
