You say that like it was the only expected outcome. Dice are Dice, and Random is Random.
Three Regular Stormies (without re-rolls) are only 9% to do 1 damage in three shots against Sabine. Effectively that could happen once in every ten games.
Statistically they should've done 3 damage to her, 1 damage in each attack (55% for each attack) (Max damage is a very unlikely 9. Anything greater than 6 damage was <2%)
All Spectre Cell did to this was bump all expected damage down by 1. Statistically without SC the Stormies would've done 2 each.
That sounds like bad luck, not bad design. (R Stormies are cheap, but not super attackers. Re-rolls are good though, and easy to achieve)
(Now that I've pointed that out, I do fully agree that the RStormies are in dire need of assistance to make them competitive again)
