Yes, if your opinion is that it's fine that a full hp villain can be OHK without even seeing the attacker you're a pleb at the game or just trolling the forums. Or both.
Agree, everyone wants hero buffs, cause they're bad troopers which means bad heroes, but that doesn't matter cause they have officer. I also like to have a fair chance as infantry otherwise your just cannon fodder if that scrubby officer beats you to the hero. I mean, how is this acceptable gameplay? Any other hero would be dead
No, I am on PS4. I mentioned above I was on Starkiller Base today too 35 player kill streak and I only had one kill with saber. It is so ridiculously OP. You can play with nothing but Heroic Might and occasionally Retribution when it charges. I had ZERO star cards. If I would have had the card that gives you health for trooper kill, I would have had 100 kill streak.
I would say during HM charge, instead of 90% damage reduction it is more like 50%. I'd also have the cool down much longer. It recharges so fast you can practically stay in the same spot and wait for all the troopers to come back. That's how fast the recharge is. With no cards I don't even have the range and it is OP. I cannot imagine with purple cards and range on HM.
Oh okay cool, I ran into the exact situation so I thought it might have been you LOL yeah he definitely needs a change in the damage reduction or at the very least a cool down increase his abilities recharge way too fast
My advice is don't play with him if you don't like it. Plenty of others to choose from. I never play bossk, Leia or palpatine because they are too easy. Play with the ones you enjoy. If you don't enjoy it don't play it. Some less able players will welcome someone as strong as annakin and I don't see the problem with that.
Allow a way to counter retribution ie make it blockable
Remove charge ability for heroic might or swap for saber throw. At very least you could cap damage at around 3-400
i love that idea of the passionate strike
Every hero had a way to block anakins one shot move.
Vader: choke
Palp / Dooku: stun lightning
plasma: stun droid him when your close to him
Idean: stun
Bossk: microgranades always stagger when hit
Boba: Stun missle
Kylo: harsh pull, or freeze
Maul: Force choke
As regulars:
Shock, stun, ion missle, flash bang, etc
Do I need to list more? When anakin is staggered his attack is wasted and cool down and defends is gone that’s when you rail him down.
The chosen one can not be taken by brute force HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE. Learn to use your basic cerebrum and you will have no issues! He is highly telegraphed. Don’t be bad at the game and you will be fine
He needs to be adjusted dude, and he most likely will. Find a different cause.
What do infantry have while they're being spawn trapped by one hero?
Anakin is OP. You're talking about one attack as if that's all he has. Even if you break through he still has two other abilities that cannot be blocked.
Either nerf him hardcore or BUFF Vader, vader should be more powerful than Anakin is, it doesnt make sense why the lightside anakin who got beat by Obi-Wan is stronger than his More Powerful Darkside version known as Darth Vader.
vader needs a serious ability rework
1. Heroic Might
- reduce damage done to enemy heroes to 300 max
- at least double the recharge time
- reduce the damage reduction to 80%
- lightsaber strikes to him should not receive damage reduction
2. Pull Dominance
- add a slow pulling effect at the start (like getting choked for 0.5s, then getting pulled)
3. Retribution
- reduce damage done to enemy heroes to 300 max
- remove ability charge up from damage done to allies (it should only charge up from damage done to him)
Proposed changes to other Heroes:
1. Darth Vader's Force Choke
- reduce damage done to him by 50%
- double his area of effect
- increase damage to 150
2. Darth Vader's Focused Rage
- double the active time
- reset his stamina when it ends (like Rey's Insight)
- increase damage output to 150-200
3. General Grievous' Unrelenting Advance
- increase damage to 200 per hit
- reduce damage done to him by 50%
4. Yoda, Luke, and Darth Maul's Dodge Abilities
- increase dodge ability to 3 (like Count Dooku's)
5. Han Solo's Sharpshooter
- add explosive shots
6. Kenobi's Restrictive Mind Trick
- double the base effect duration
That's all I can think of for now.
Use my knowledge, I beg you.
May the force be with you.
I was playing GA on Kamino and I just spawned in with EP. I dashed through a door and next thing I knew I was flying through the roof from anakin. Full health, no damage from any other source other than heroric might. He 1 hit killed me with it and from what I’m reading, I’m not the only one. So stop telling people that they don’t know what they’re talking about.
Agreed. But people will criticize you for this/scold you for your viewpoint purely because they want him nerfed into the ground
I dunno man. The shills aren't much better.

"I have never died to a Finn"
Then all is good
Ps. gun Hero's on light or dark side a at the very least should be 1 or 2 steps down the food chain
GA is a another discussion for a more civilised time.
Just don't damage him when he's charging, roll, be in cover, or block with a light saber.
See, common sense right here. But people would just rather still smash into him and then claim its unfair when he takes them out.
The irony is not lost upon me.

Could say the same....theres 4 or 5 forum members who are very passionate about getting things nerfed all the time....even resorting to constantly accusing others of using crutches. Things never change around here.
Nothing personal of course
enjoy it while it lasts!
They probably will. Alarmingly enough, the people in charge said there aren't any plans to adjust this at all. Nor is Obi-wan being killswitched or anything, but you can bet your **** he would've been gone instantly if it was Palpatine. I'm convinced it's just plan hypocrisy at this point. If it has a lightsaber, it's totally fine and doesn't need to be balanced. But the moment it's anything else? "Omg is broken take it out"

Both Vader and Snoke used Force Choke on people that were in completely different starships, across the vast emptiness of space.
To question the bounds of the Force is...unwise.
*stokes fire; backs away slowly with menacing grin*
Dude, similar experience. I spawned as Bossk, but my team had taken Base 1 on Kamino so when I spawned I was back while we advanced outside. Full health Bossk-- I ran towards the door that opens outside and fell over dead. Anakin was outside waiting for all of us to advance and one HM blasted through the door when it opened and killed about 12 of us including my full health Bossk. Never even got to fire Bossk's weapons. Spawn--run--dead.
Just because LS teams haven't the first concept about how to make use of ideal comps (Big Deal. Cannot be stressed enough) doesn't mean the DS was stronger. They had more CC, but LS had ways to deal with everything if they simply wanted to. What Anakin does is take the balance that was there, and completely tilts it one way.

Didn't have issues with him playing as Grievous or Maul, and I'm average at best.
For GA I could see him being a bit annoying, but going up against a hero as infantry is usually a death sentence anyways.
Just play more cautiously around him. And for the love of God, don't attack him when he's charging his repulse.
Vader is only 1/4th of the strength that anakin has both force power wise and speed wise.
As most of the force medaclorins were consumed to save anakins life after he got burned. His suite which induces constant rage can not balance out that loss.
Vader is powerful but he is Padawan to the anakin skywalker.
I got to play with him a few times. While I did get more kills with him than I usually get he was not at all unstoppable. There were plenty of times I used Heroic Might and it did nothing because the players were blocking and not attacking. And then I would get the good ol' chopped down in 2 seconds by 3 or 4 light sabers treatment
1. His HERO MIGHT and RETRIBUTION needs damage cap and range reduction
-HERO MIGHT 250 dmg with releasing the ability without charging.
350 dmg after fully charged (400 dmg with star cards).
Range on HERO MIGHT shoud be similar to Emperors Palpatin DARK AURA ability. Also slight colldown increas may by 2-3 seconds good.Increase charge rate speed by 30%
-RETRIBUTION 300 dmg cap with 200 gmd delth by choke and 100 by his afterward push.Increase animation speed from being choked to pushed drasticly. Right now if you get caught in choke animation its stun locks you for 4.2 seconds that is ridicolous.Increase animation speed by 60% transition from being choked to pushed needs to be instant. Also the choke range is wey to big but push is actualy fine
2. His damage reduction while HERO MIGHT and RETRIBUTION might is active needs to be droped to 80%. His damage reduction afrer using
HERO MIGHT and RETRIBUTION stays wey to long after move has finished make him invincible same as Obi with his push. His other two ability are actualy good and balanced. I just hope that DICE listens to sane part of comiunityand and also dont overnerf The Chosen one. Cheers
He will probably still kill everyone with bsrepulse, but he'll die when it's done. Just have a dedicated hero hunter team of 2 or more specialists on call whenever playing as DS.

Just block, this works best with Iden, Bossk, Boba Fett.
And they call this "smart playing".
And just how fast is this **** ability cooldown anyway? And whats this "He is the chosen one" rubbish? Its a multiplayer game, balance makes or breaks it, no one cares for "lore", and besides Mr Chosen One got beaten by Dooku pretty hard in EP 2.
