Can we say that we have the right to expect a Passionate Strike buff ?

Passionate strike has always been in a weird spot, and now Anakin as a whole occupies a weird spot. Ever since release Passionate Strike was at best situational as it needed opportunity to be used (Pull mostly, but others could be possible like RMT) and the only reason to use it was that its special effect permitted to inflict further damage. Now this is gone, we just have a situational ability which doesn't grant the possibility to do better than other possible actions. Simply the ability is useless now.
Anakin, labeled as the epitome of offensive prowess is now ironically one of the worst against block spammers. He pays for his name of offensive hero with a crap block (reactivity + stamina) but doesn't have that offensive potential. Luke the hit and run is better than him against block, and is just better at everything, i will not even talk about Yoda.
My question is , after everything that's been said , can we feel like we have the right to ask for passionate strike buff ?
I feel like we have, the devs should be true to their words, Anakin is not what he is supposed to be.
"You're not gonna like it" is one of the funniest lines in the game, along with Leia not recognizing her son.

What characters don't have devastating combos ?
They fixed Dooku's Duelist ability last month and they are fixing plenty of bugs this month + fixing bugs is a different matter than improving a lacking ability.
It’s a little different with anakin. That combo is really smooth and it always lands. If you can pull them towards you, you’re probably going to land all three abilities.
Let’s not forget his fourth ability haha.
The last thing yoda & luke needed were buffs yet here we are
Agreed. I don't have hate for Anakin but I don't believe he needs a buff.
Just passionate strike
I know personally that I don't want more damage or the ability to knock down people again (the big things that most people probably worry about). I just want it to have either a slight speed buff or a slight lunge range buff so that it is actually useful outside of the pull combo. It works ok against block spammers, but anyone with a grain of salt will dodge right through it and effortlessly waste it.
He gets it.
I think Anakin needs more of a buff based of what you just said. “Epitome of offensive prowess” is a funny description for a character that lost every bit of offense he had. You’re right. Luke and Yoda are far better than him and it’s a joke. I’ve been advocating for a few Anakin buffs to make somewhat offensive again. I think heroic might should charge up to at least 250 or 300 (even though there was no need to nerf it because months after he’s been out, most people learned not to damage him). Passionate strike needs to knock down like before but with the damage it has now. Retribution needs 300 damage for an ultimate ability you rarely get to use. And his stamina needs to be fixed to make him better at attacking. It’s not like what I suggest is gonna make him over the top OP. Yes he’ll be powerful, but right now I think we can all agree the OP characters are Yoda and Finn when it comes to team play. They need to be nerfed. People hate Anakin because his release state was that of a god and since then, people are blindly asking for buffs for other characters that are ruining gameplay and Anakin falls down the ranks. I think this buff to him and a few nerfs to other characters is perfectly reasonable.
Make him do like a short jump into a helm splitter.
Yes adding to his dueling utility but to compensate for knockback, nerf the dmg to 75dmg. People will complain if the dmg is too high if Anakin has knockback.
