Another 2 days of full play. And still no matches won by DS
DS wins 0 matches.
Every single match ends in anakin stopping the entire team in the first pr second phase.
Can the devs please just give us some form of communication of if you are ever going to try and re balance GA.
Cause if not ill just uninstall the game now. So please do let me know.

Well then perhaps you could do the community a solid and post a video turorial of how you manage to do that because im watching these forums like a hawk and it seems as though there is a huge majority of people calling out for some form of anakin fix.
Im not saying he needs to he nerfed into the ground. But heroic might should be high risk high reward. It is not.
Take off the 90% damage reduction and make the animation quicker. Dont have such a massive radius of effect. Make it basically a bit stronger than lukes repulse. Cause with luke if you hit repulse in the wrong place at the wrong time you get melted and you die.
That should happen to anakin instead he stands there laughing and then jumps off to regen the 100 health he did lose... (saying that he probably gained 200 from HOK card...)
These forums...huge majority.....you do realize theres probably only like 100-150 active people on here, if that (that's probably generous)? The playerbase is probably in double digit thousands overall, if not slightly more. So the people here barely scrape like 1% of the playerbase. In no way is that a majority.
I don't have some kind of special strategy to win as the DS. I just don't find Anakin to be game breaking. Maybe it's because I'm on PC and blaster heroes are stronger, but Anakin isn't even the best hero in the game for me. Bossk and Yoda are better IMO.

PC is a different beast to console. If i had a mouse id kill it with lando. But we dont we have joy pads and on console anakin does break the game
Actually, you can hit it in the right place in the right time and when it doesn’t detect the dude two feet away from you and he unloads into your cranium and you die that’s not actually fair. Luke should have that damage reduction.

I dont complain that grievous can 2 shot my heroes cause he has high risk high reward. Grievous can be taken out easily with an officer.
Anakin is very different
Because you have to use teamwork?

Haha well yeah the bugs weve known about for ages.
I say strip all heroes of damage reduction. Theyre supposed to temporarily turn the tide of battle not make it unplayable.
I say again for the millionth time not all players have the ability or will to party play and nor should a whole team have to gang up on a hero to deal with them. Any other hero can be taken out by any infantry easily. Anakin not so.
If you’re team can’t rationalize to say, “Hey, that guys a high priority target, we should focus on killing him!” You only need about five players to kill Anakin, and that’s it. Your entire team doesn’t have to hang up on him, he’s just somewhat harder to deal with than others. If the blueberries can’t figure that out I would suggest playing with people who can.

They do temporarily turn the tide. Well, at least Palps and Bossk and Anakin and Finn do, the rest are just harder to kill Infantry, some with glow sticks.

Nobody should be able to get 15 kills from one ability.
As i said in a previous post i am not an amazing player i can get max of 25 killstreak with almost any other hero or villain. But even i got a 75 killstreak with ani on endor. Thats saying something.
Anakins auto kill raised my game 3x.
So what does that say?
Anakin can only get that many if they shoot him, Luke can get that many by pressing LB.
Ani probably tripled your kills because he’s a well functioning hero without janky abilities and all his cards are useful. Against trash tier opposition, then it’s pretty easy to reach Bossk and Palps numbers(Triple digits). Again, Anakin is a well functioning hero, and every other hero should be brought up to relevance.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Its funny you say that cause im a recent convert to bossk and ive still only managed 25 or 30 lills with him
So its not the abilities not being glitchy it is the absolute ridiculousness of heroic might.
Remember also this game wasnt made so 1% of elite players can have tonnes of fun and toll the rest of us.
Heroic might is only deadly if you can’t see the obvious as hell animation and decide to shoot him with anything other than a stinger pistol. If you are only getting 25-30 kills with Bossk, that might explain why Anakin is dominating you.

Says the guy who jumps at every opportunity to defend anikan with his life cause he relies on crutches to kill people
You arent reading what im saying.
Im saying im not a great player above average at best. But if an above average player can stop a whole team of good players then there is something wrong.
To deny that is actual denial.
So have fun in your denial.
And I still have to admit....GA should not be only playable if you have FOUR invited people in party chat trying to get in the same server to help you focus on Anakin. This is a casual game where you can plug it up solo and go be a member of the multiplayer battle. To say Anakin is easy if you have dragged 3 other people into your game to try and JUST fight Anakins....then that sounds very broken.
That’s like saying because you’re good with Specialist, you wouldn’t mind it getting nerfed.

If 90% of a sample group of 1% are experiencing the same thing, it's safe to assume that close to 90% of the full group are also experiencing the same thing. It's basic statistics, and is used in many applications, such as the Nielsen ratings.
Also, you are incorrect in saying that it is not a majority, because it IS a majority of users here that are saying the same thing. It's only a couple of people who keep defending Anakin.
I know that the developers have a way to analyze the data from the GA matches, and if the people complaining were wrong, they could easily say that their data shows that this is not the case for the majority of matches, and that these people are just experiencing some kind of fluke. If they weren't so secretive and quiet and gave actual feedback to the community, we could know for sure, but I'm pretty confident in saying that the "complainers" are all correct, and this is why there is silence on the matter.
...Basically don't act like ***** is the key to really pull a win.
smart Anakins stay back and dont play aggressively all you gotta do is stay back with a large group of your team mates and charge up retribution maybe going in and using heroic might every now and then and thats all you gotta do and once you get to phases were everyone is super grouped up like the last phase of Naboo and Kamino your retribution will be up about every 2 minutes if not less so the Anakin player can sit back and just wait for retribution to charge up and pop in and out and its GG no good team will save you from Anakin if he knows what hes doing all it takes is one single player that knows how to properly abuse him.
Oddly enough to my frustration I rarely ran into a competent Anakin player.
Last phase on Hoth and lost and it strangely wasn't from Anakin. Actually, the guy playing stupidly eat one too many bolts and actually died.
He’s easy to kill, just shoot him! Except every 15 seconds make sure to not shoot him at all. Because then he’ll kill you when his Heroic Might is off cooldown. And also, don’t shoot his teammates because then you’re just asking for Retribution. You know what, just run out of the room. That’s probably the best idea. Whatever, he should be this powerful. He’s the chosen one and it’s canon.
I think sometimes good players aren't choosing anakin on principle, and that's made for decent matches. I'm not a great player, but I refuse to use him as he's pure cheese at this point. I imagine others feel the same. Give me han every time.
This doesn't mean I'm ok with him. I feel the quality of GA matches has tanked. I notice half the ls teams are leaving after the round ends, either cus they wont get to play ani or they dont want to face him. Its telling.
I've been playing BF 2017 since it released, and yes, Anakin is powerful.
I am by no means an amazing player as I don't get time to slam hours a day into gaming.
But, Anakin, to me, is just a powerful hero. That is it. We expected it. Some even wanted it. The DS were given GG and Dooku, and both are very powerful. GG in particular.
I've not noticed the DS losing matches all the time....
Once .....again. You're referring to HvV no doubt?? Go to Galactic Assault...that is where the issue and THE conversation about Anakin is centered. DS is barely ever winning a GA round anymore....unless there's no sub par Anakins on the field.

You can take out any hero with any infantry of the same skill easily?
1 - I'd like to see that.
2 - What's the point of having heroes if they're easy to kill?
Forget...guys are explaining numbers when they don't have a single clue of basic statistics, confidence and representative samples.
Yep, scrubs don’t realize they’re scrubs and usually want the bar lowered. Scrubs aren’t necessarily noobs either.
To the the op, blame map design on much of your problems and yes I’ve won many times vs the LS.
I'm experiencing DS wins on GA all the time...Anakin is a beast but surround him with troopers when he least expects it and he is toast.
Yeah unless he has retribution which is very likely. I can charge retribution like 5-10 times in a game as anakin and eveythone thinks yes we've killed anakin but oh no... he can push 1 button and send the entire tean back to the spawn screen lol
I think the biggest problem here is that other Heroes aren't really up to par with anakin. They need buffs. It's bad enough on lightisde to where people won't spawn the second lightside hero until much later in the match, hoping anakin dies.
I almost never see rey, finn, Lando, chewbacca, leia or Han until the Final phase. 75% of the time it's Kenobi, or yoda if people don't bother waiting. I think Kenobi's picked more often than not to role play with anakin, not because he's actually any good.
Stop defending these cheap lazy abilities. I love anakin as a character and this is not him. Hopping around using 360° abilities to wreck everything is boring to do and be on the recceiving end of.
Look at this i had not long spawned and all inwas doing was retreating anakin wasnt even in sight!
Sick of these goons saying yhyh well git gud loool ive been playing since day 1 i know the mechanics of this game and havent had a problem with much untill now stop defending this travesty of a hero.

Did you win the matches as the Dark Side though? We aren't arguing that he is unkillable, we are arguing that he is overwhelmingly breaking the focus of GA and just cause you can take down some Anakins (good for you) does not stop that last Anakin on the choke points from stopping everything and bring in an easy LS victory. And "at least 10 people have to be good on your team" is THE tactic?? Have you played Galactic Assault before?? Haha
