Palpatine extremely OP against saber heroes in GA
A saber hero against a good palps is dead in the water. Mostly referring to GA, in HvV you can use good teamwork to counter him.
First you can never fully block his lightning, seems like you still take some damage no matter what.
Second your blocking stamina always wears out before his lightning attack stamina.
Third you can’t run away even because he has his quick spin dodge and crazy high jumps to easily follow you.
Fourth, on top of all of this, he has his lightning stun to easily wreck you when he has drained your stamina with all of his lightning.
Really it is just stupid. Not saying nerf palpatine, I’m saying saber heroes just need to be able to block his lightning better.

Blaster heroes are extremely OP against Palpatine in GA
A Palpatine against a good blaster hero is dead in the water.
Really it is just stupid. Not saying nerf blaster heroes, I'm saying Palpatine just needs to be able to block blaster fire better.

This isn’t true at all, extremely easy to get away from blaster heroes with palp’s jumps and dodges, but good try, I see what you were trying to do there. 😉
If you can effectively dodge hero blaster fire as Palpatine, then that just indicates that the hero blaster players shooting at you are trash... Jumping... really? Lol, ya, let me jump and float lazily through the air, that is a good trick so they can't hit me!! Rofl! I dare you to try jumping to evade blaster fire from someone with competent aim... if you are not killed midair, you will get hit with a stun or detonate at your landing position...

All I know is I get killed by palpatine as saber heroes way way more than I get killed by blaster heroes as palpatine. And I don’t think I am the exception.
I wont disagree with that, but I think that is much more likely to be a function of poor aim on the part of blaster hero players generally, while Palpatine requires little skill to aim properly. If I have Han or Leia for example, I can just stand completely still and melt Palpatine before he can even come close to killing me... and this is assuming he is in range to hit me at all... normally I will land a few shots while he is closing and then once he realizes he is taking critical damage he will generally jump to try to escape... which actually makes him move slower and more predictably and he will usually be dead before he hits the ground. I mean Han with with Sharpshooter on can take Palpatines entire healthpool before he can even react if you can place the shots properly.

*Push Palp to the ground - then saber dash / bash (malee) / slash him to a quiet death. Be careful if Palp getz the higher ground.... worst than Boba at that point (IMO)
Palp is really good at indoor battles (chain lightning can't stop a good grenade throw)
And Luke can just keep pushing him away when he’s in dark aura, enough time to find some teammates for help.

Really all I want is consistent and reliable saber blocking of lightning. If I’m saber blocking, have stamina, and facing palpatine, I shouldn’t be losing any health. And my blocking stamina should last as long as his normal attack lightning stamina.
If force push was even 75% as reliable as any of palpatine’s abilities or normal lightning attack I would agree with you...unfortunately force pushes fail all the time, but palp’s abilities pretty much never fail, probably the most consistent abilities in the game.
I'm not the best at this game (or any game, but don't play any other games).
Rey? You have to work to get kills!
But I can get lots of kills with Luke and Yoda doing nothing, without even trying. Once upon a time Luke can take out AT-STs, and Yoda could take no damage from behind!
Nope.
Blocking stamina definitely doesn't wear out before Palpatine's lightning stamina.
You're basically wrong in everything you say tbh.
Actually, all correct, but thanks for trying.
Nah he's right at least for luke & obi-wan
The vast majority of BF17 players use consoles, not PC. It's a completely different environment from what you're used to.
Which saber were you playing?
LS only has two sabers that are somewhat valuable in GA and neither of them suffer from this problem against Palps.
Unless you're overextending and getting trashed because of it, in which case "Atleast you learned something."
Iron enigma treateth, Ultima
Shielding light retreateth, Ultima

"I have never died to a Finn"
Depends on how good the blaster hero is with his/her aim. I absolutely melted Palpatine with Leia earlier in GA, but Finn couldn't hit me for toffee when I was Palpatine.
Teamwork in HVV?! In what alternate plane of existence are you from? There is no teamwork in that mode!

OUT AM I?!
I live again
I am ROMG4 or is ROMG4 me? If I am ROMG4 who am I? If ROMG4 is me who is he what is he? If I am him who or what am I?
If this is conscious does that mean I know I am ROMG4 or not, is ROMG4 me? or Is it not
Gone forgotten, out of board and into the pan of ghost fire and diatrabe of sadness no one AVENGED ME how could this be. 2 years I exist I help, I talk, I contribute, I speak, no one helped me no aide, no one all alone in the dark of the night where dark things lurk in the more of subconscious thought and that which lurks bellow and beyond the veil of madness and the unknown

So essentially your entire plan is to hope that the game's terrible coding kicks in and Palps gets chain stunned by light-saber combat?
And the initial plan involves blasting Palpatine away from you? Oh you'll probably get maybe 200-300 damage in the best circumstance
Then he can roll away and your plan falls apart. A Good Palpatine stays on the move and can generally tell when a Luke is about to use his abilities

Exactly, a palpatine that knows what they are doing will basically always soundly beat any saber hero in GA.
All sabers are useful
All blasters are useful

He never said they weren't. And you're wrong anyway, Chewbacca is useless in GA.

I'm sure we can figure out a use for explosive shots and a Charge Slam that goes through walls and oneshots(?) troopers. Can't imagine it'd be much worse than a prancing memelord.
...Provided anyone is ever insane enough to ever pick anything besides the prime 2 and 4 picks in GA to begin with.

I don't need to try to tell you you're wrong, because you are. You can click LOL on my post all you want; it doesn't change the fact that you're either misinformed or you're just here to whine because Palps killed you in GA.
Obi-Wan can block two full rounds of Palpatine's lightning before his stamina is depleted. Luke can block more than a full stamina bar of Palpatine's lightning, and so can Yoda. Rey can block it infinitely with Insight active.
It sounds to me like you tried chasing Palps in Ga and he out-manoeuvred you before killing you...
He's useless when you consider the fact that everyone else on the light side is infinitely better... there is no reason to pick him, which is the definition of useless.

Exactly, someone that gets it. As palpatine you can crush all any individual saber user with ease, too much ease.
Perfectly balanced
Chewie is not useful. Also was talking about lightside saber heros
Yeah I'm insane. It's boring picking the same characters like yoda & rey or Palpatine & bossk.
Kenobi for example don't have any chance to win against a good Palpatine alone. Facts
Especially given that every hero blaster, aerials and wookiees can shoot him to death with a hand tied behind their back.
I find you too comprehensive and diplomatic in this case, "specializes in excising them ?" . Infinite stamina Rey and Yoda 510 health regen on top of having the psychological factor of unleashing you at any time vs a geezer with poor dps and poor stamina.
These threads about Palps on top of getting more and more specific criterias are getting way too ridiculous. If you ever die to a Palp in GA as a lightsaber hero you've done everything wrong.
Rey and Yoda are like the least vulnerable Jedi
in GA at least..

yeah you have to be really bad, but taking out those two with other heroes is usually difficult even played by bad players.
All the other decent GA picks that can actually frag turtle meta Jedi hiding on the 2nd floor of the turbotank (Iden, Bossk, Vader) are too slow to get in and out and do good damage without dying in the process (Spin Lord Palp can do this repeatedly).
Maul can also get in there but he's useless vs anything with more than 200 health (which is everyone inside) and a brain.
