Remove the knockdown from passionate strike and retribution, because it's infuriating to be hit by passionate strike and be unable to move for a good 2 seconds, meaning skill can't help you since you can't even move.
Anakin may be the 'Chosen One' but so is Darth Vader, and he doesn't have four abilities that knock you off your feet. I also don't understand why he does more lightsaber damage and has more health than everyone else, at least tone it down slightly and increase Vader's health back to 1000.
I was really excited for this hotfix because I thought it would correct the issues plaguing Anakin right now, but these are not the changes that were needed.
To give an example, against a Boba Fett, Anakin can pull him out of the sky, use heroic might, passionate strike and hit him once, killing him without allowing any room for a response from the other player.
Perfect. My thoughts exactly
No, what destroys this game is people who compensate for a lack of skill by using an overpowered character, and then whining when he gets a balancing tweak. If anything you are the casual here.
Congratulations, you’ve managed to say absolutely nothing. What are you, 12? “You’re so dumb?” Great insight.
Anakin is OP by any measure you use. I see players all the time run into a group, use Heroic Might then run away, then repeat that cycle. It is impossible to win a one on one duel when you can’t block Passionate Strike and you are basically dead at that moment.
Can't block it? So Dodge it then
Don't need Private matches. Search for a match at the same time and you get put in the same match
Help us obi wan kenobi..you're our only hope.
But everyone applauds that he can do that to Boba, because everyone always has to hate on Boba, because they don't have the skill to play as him. And then they wonder why Boba "runs" when Anakin is anywhere near him and isn't engaged with somebody else. Anakin just promotes more Boba players to "run" in HvV. It's not really even running, it's just trying to actually stay out of Anakin's pull range, which is ridiculously far.
But boyyyyyyyy
I am so disapointed about the anakin nerf, a minor tweak to the numbers wont balance him how many times!
The problem was never his damage he was inteded to be a fast and hard hitter no?
So why is he also a tank with 1000hp? That needs cutting down for a start.
His problems lie in his what i now call "cheat abilities". His 360° Aoe abilites are the real issues you NEED to acknowledge this.
Heroic might is getting a needed damage nerf but where the hell is the radius nerf?? It is a very lazy ability that requires no aiming or tactics to use.
All it takes is for 1 or 2 noobs to shoot you and you have an instant killstreak going and the enemy team is dead lol its kinda boring using it and just dreadful being in the receiving end of it but pales in comparison to his "ultimate ability".
Retribution IS the main problem imo.
Like HM this ability requires no aiming or skill to use, just jump into a crowd of enemies or wait until villans arent blocking and hit retribution for an instant win.
You cannot anticipate this ability because there is no pre animation before the ability activates, it is instant so the only thing you can do to stay safe is hide or cower behind your block in fear of anakins "ultimate".
The radius is also insanely big for how powerful the ability is.
The amount of time you are suspended in the air in the choke animation is way too long if even 1 trooper is shooting at you during this time you are dead from full health villan or not.
Pull dominance and Pasionate strike arent bad at all i do not understand why you felt the need to nerf them. The ACTUAL PROBLEM is that all 4 of anakins abilities can be used in combos and very regularly too because of the fast cooldowns.
All 4 of anakins cc abilities combined = OP MESS
These short clips prove what i am saying and ive been very particular about which ones i chose as to offer an unbiased opinion and if you cannot see that Anakin is OP from them then you are deluded.
Also retribution can be activated WHILST TAKING DAMAGE...
It's kind of hard to dodge when his pull ragdolls you and lays you in his lap where you can't even control your character until after you get hit.
Not only that. His force abilities don't require any aiming at all! All three are just circles around him with no skill required! Dooku has to spend an entrire card to widen his already narrow lightening, etc. Yoda must aim, and Kyle, etc. And he is almost the tankiest character. With most damage per swing of his saber. How does DICE not see the way that Anakin ruins most games he's in? Do they play the game? Still disappointed that he will continue to ruin games.
Completely agree with this post. It's not casuals who want Anakin fixed. It's committed players who find him terrible, whether on his team or against it.
I have yet to see anything you say have reasons or thoughtful engagement. You sound like a petulant 9 year old.
Absolutely perfect post. THIS a thousand times over.
Uhm... So where's Palpatine's ability to cloud Anakin's mind and he starts kill other jedi? Huh? cheesen van...
good dont come back
This. @F8RGE
Excellent. The new mode and Infiltrators are fantastic, and you and your team should feel proud. (Not to mention the LS combat changes, which are fun).
@F8RGE
You weren't hitting him when he activated it
You said the passionate strike can't be blocked. Said nothing about his pull
I'm not a casual. I play daily and I didn't want him fixed. I LEARNED how to counter him
You gotta stop posting videos of low skilled Anakin's that you have killed. Try countering him at the various different choke points that this game gives us. If the Anakin is good you won't. And anyway there's always a full health Anakin waiting to take dead Anakin's place.
Everyone got used to dominating as Dark Side, and now that they need to play smart, they'd rather cry for nerfs than strategize.
Yes, Anakin has a mean combo, but if you block/dodge the initial pull, you can avoid it. The cool down is the best way to address Ani because using up all three abilities in a combo to kill one player is a dumb move--because once he's abilities are gone he's pretty easy to take out. This is why you need to work on blocking and dodging him.
Enough with the nerfs. Try asking better players for advice on how to improve.
Galactic Assault exists btw. Play it for a bit, then say Anakin is fine.
Goodbye BF2. Hello Borderlands Game of the Year Edition for PS4.
Totally agree, this damage immunity is the biggest problem. It should be 50% at most. You shouldnt be able to just jump in the middle of an entire team and walk away with more health than ya started with.

Any decent or at least half brain Anakin can dominate the lobby. I'm Luke main, i've got huge experience playing him but I can't be as effective with him as with Anakin (who dropped A MONTH AGO). Ofc Luke needs buff, but no hero should be 2-3 times better than other.
Even likes as Bossk and Palpatine (which were probably best heroes before ani) are like children in comparison to the broken one. He has advantage at any times, any situation. 2 crowd control abilities (one of them having ridiciolusly short cooldown, and both having huge range), the most deadly combo in the game, most damage per strike, most health, better pull than kylo's and having basically 4 knockdown abilities. Anakin dominates both GA and (maybe a little less) HVV.
I often use Kylo to try to counter him, but killing him it's just the matter of luck. If anakin player is bad, or I manage to suprise him, I can kill him fairly easily. If not, it's very very difficult. IDK how many times I died using frenzy, when he right after used heroic might (while being hit ;o), I obviously couldn't cancel it, so I'm being knockdown, then he uses passionate strike - bang bang - dead.
Most of your (anakin defenders) advices are just plain stupid: 'just don't attack him, just don't go after him, just run away, just be aware of him, just bare in mind he can use heroic might/retribution at any moment, just turn off your pc or console ;v
What the hell do you Anakin defenders don't understand ? Can you use common sense instead of your fanboyism ?
You guys are literally killing this game.
Can you be insta killed by Anakin as a trooper? Yes, but so can you by any other competent hero aswell. Can you be insta killed by Anakin as a Villian? No, not if you pay attention and know your character, and his.
This breaks HvV. Getting caught in Retribution allows LS blaster heroes to literally walk up to you and blast you to death while you're immobilised for 5 seconds.
Get rid of Retribution; no hero should have 4 abilities while the others have 3. Also replace Heroic Might with a lightsaber throw, then Anakin will be balanced.
You are unistalling a game that you have devoted 45 entire days of your life to, an 8th of an entire year of your life, because other players get the top spot with a certain character? Or because you are tired of seeing the same character in the top spot? Anakin is an outlier, the last thing he does is make gameplay monotone. I'm much more excited to fight heros because of players who assume they are OP as Anakin and don't use actual tactics.

Anakin has saved HvV. Darkside destroyed in that mode until Anakin arrived. The mode was dying and now it's fun again.
Yes he is op and he is annoying, but so was meeting Vader, Boba, Iden and Dooku before the Chosen One.
so how is this to blame it on ani a low Luke getting hit by grevious some way....
seems he his him (Ani) and you you so low HP you die simple
seems he HIT him (Ani) and you(luke) you so low HP you die simple before HM was released fleeing grevious
If you're replaced 'Sand' in that sentence with 'Clone Wars' it would be very accurate. 😂😂
