Kylo is only going to beat them if he freezes them and follows up with frenzy...and if frenzy actually works.
The game doesn't have private matches but, thst doesn't mean you & 7 other players can't set something up to get your own lobby. Done it plenty of times
Also, please slight buff every single light side character.
Please don't nerf any dark side but rather buff light side character instead.
That is only true to a degree... if you get frozen then rocket barraged or frozen then repeatedly shot in the face by Phasma it doesn’t matter who’s behind the controller or who’s in your group. You’ll die. The light side has no combination of heroes that have similar result. Plain and simple.
Why don't you play solo with some noobs and show us a thing or two? That'll be fun
Are your posts typically this pointless?
What would that prove?
It’s most telling when there’s tough and/or close matches as the light side then when you become the dark side next round, you win with ease.
Absolutely.
More than once, I struggled to win like 2 - 0 or even 1 - 0 as LS, with a lot of tryhard, frustration ect.
Then, when the side changes, it's like a 8 - 0 absolute stomp, even though we still keep the same 8 people in the game, and the same teams.
Very telling about the balance of the game. I'm very used to say that the challenge is not to win as any side, but to win as LS against DS with the same amount of skill per team, in average and individually speaking.
There are team compositions you will never win against, when the ennemy team have 2 excellent players. Something like Iden + Vader + Grievous + Kylo Ren (just for Frenzy) OR a Runner like Maul/Boba is an absolute nightmare. They basically and without any effort can win any frontal engage at 3 against 4. Too many HPs, too many stuns, too much burst, too much DPS, too much map control.
And I'm not even talking about the Droid's battery thing card, that grants an absolute bugged bonus to Iden's abilities. And it's like Devs does not even care about it. Plus, they know it, since months. I don't see why we couldn't be able to send the publisher in court for such *****. But hey, dreamin'.
I found Leia to be a really good solution when the quality of your aim follows. She has a way better DPS than anyone thinks, and probably a slightly better "practical DPS" than Han even if I count the detonite charge. Plus, it lets other "more interesting and lower-skill-needed" heroes at the disposition of your team. Plus, it counters Palps and any Kylo/Maul that would stupidly rush you (take the card that lowers the damages taken when using the E-11). But still, it's far to be a perfect solution.
You see it you name it, the DS is just totally OP. It's not that rare to see people leaving the game when it's their time to play as LS. Can't blame them, even if it's pure unsportsmanship.
I have never seen a team with more than 3 shooters win. They get stomped since they are only for longer range.
You must play very little.
We’ve had plenty of teams all blasters win. It’s actually very frequent.
He said it's not fun anymore
I know he plays in a team of 4 Pros that wreck all their opposition
So I suggested instead of playing with his team of 4 pros, go play with a team of solo noobs, that way it will be fun for him. Money back guarantee.
Must be console then since blaster is significantly superior to saber.
Even on console the group I play with does very well all blaster.
I’ve seen some pretty decent console blaster users, just few and far between it seems. Similar to PC though I gather where the good players usually congregate together, that’s how most teams are make including mine lol.
Now are they really gonna fix them though? No. All they succeed in doing is nerfing Chews. They can barely separate balance for heroes.
Xbox G-tag
That Specialist rework was disappointing.
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth
This more than anything.
Xbox G-tag
That Specialist rework was disappointing.
Thats kinda the point... Light side should not be REQUIRED to outnumber darkside to win. Any dark side team that knows to stay together is an instant game over for light side because they have no defense against all the stun spam and damage
That is simply incorrect. A proper LS team makeup and with non-potato players is equal to DS. The reason most people don’t think so is that they are using sabers or simply need to get better strategies
Why should the LS have to pick specific characters to try and even the odds?
Too many people perceive imbalance issues because they are expecting balance between each hero, which isn’t the case and won’t ever be.
Out of both LS and DS optimal lineups the winner will be based on who is better and has the best strategy. Team vs team play in my experience on PC is fairly balanced when players of a fairy equal level play.
I have played on PC, and I can say you're incorrect. The only difference between console play and PC play, are blasters are easier to play on PC. PC combat feels slight faster due to the FOV slider which changes the perspective of the game.
The imbalance is still there. DS is 100% stronger on PC as it is on PS4 and Xbox

Not completely true. The DS definitely still has an advantage on PC, but not as much so as on console.

Yes it is, they are still vastly superior on PC.
PS4 EventHorizonOH
Must be the lobbies you play in. Side is irrelevant in most 4v4 sessions we play.
This comment explains a lot. Ty.

No. Only slightly overpowered. But still overpowered.

Everything is perspective based in reality. The biggest reasons people have differing opinions. That has a raft of factors why that is but cannot be bothered going into those
If we start getting balanced games, then the evading/spawnkilling made possible by the superior mobility of DS characters like Boba or Palpatine is the obvious culprit as to why DS wins more easily.
If DS is still winning more frequently during the event, then the DS's excessive CC abilities in some comps may need looked at (thinking Vader/Kylo, Iden, Palp, and Boba metas that are pretty hard to counter).
However after coming back from a lot of BFV (with improved shooting skills, think this game made me lazy) and absolutely demolishing pub lobbies with Han and other LS blasters even more than I remember, they may do fine. LS blasters are nothing to be trifled with.
It's more that more than 1-2 sabers is not a smart idea, and that the DS has 1-2 sabers that are just flat better at HvV.
