It's disliked by a lot of players, and was probably partially responsible for recent waves being more focused on arcs, not turrets. And sadly now even the Empire can run TLT fleets. :/

That said, it's not been the meta villain of late. That's been Jumpmasters, Lancers, Mindlink fleets, and not too long ago, TIE Defenders (before the nerf). The meta has simply outgrown some of the original trilogy ships, which now need power boosts to get them back on track. I love me some T-65 and B-Wing fleets, but they really aren't well-suited to the current power curve.

If you're just playing with friends, I'd recommend asking them to treat TLT as unique, or encouraging them to run something entirely different to add some spice to the game. And game stores occasionally run themed nights or even tournaments to shake up the meta, e.g. Original Trilogy ships only, no TLT (or TLT is unique), generic pilots only, mid-PS pilots only, etc. Ask if they'd be up for an Original Trilogy night; I can tell you it's a lot of fun, and often the people organizing the games at the store are open to the idea.
