Re: Ranking all SABER heroes from worst to best!
Just naming few things here, it'd be too much of an essay (lol the irony, didn't went as planned) to rate every single ranking from you:
Personally I rank Yoda to the very bottom in HvH just because of the fact that his block can be easily broken by just saber spamming it.
In infantry modes however he's easily one of the best for survivability and danymic gameplay experience as all his ailities are good for that, just hope that when meeting an enemy hero player he doesn't have much experience in HvH combat so I can outplay him.
Once someone spams at me I basically have no other choice than to immediately try to parry, allowing them to just hit my block is not an option.
I'd rank Dooku to the lowest of all because, let's be honest, he's no option in any infantry mode and in HvH it's just extremely predictable what he's going to pull off.
Like if Dooku uses his expose weakness or activates duelists, it tells me exactly what's going on and for how long, giving me more than enough time to react ... which can mean to just wait it out until the abilities wear off. I mean only his flash bolt can catch me by surprise, anything else allows me to prepare for it.
As Dooku I basically need someone impatient who thinks it's a good idea to spam on me while duelist is active etc.
I'd place Luke lower because his dashes can be parried and especially the middle ability has a big animation window, making him very, very vulnerable to enemy attacks. The push often just works against you because opponents are too far away then for following up attack.
Most Luke players are no problem for me because of this. Only his swing speed as well as his dmg increase over time is not to be underestimated.
For Anakin I started using the stamina increase card and it improves the HvH gameplay quite well if I just manage to stay alive.
For infantry mode I just dislike that he's basically dependant from his magnet ability and you basically have to wait until it refreshes before seriously thinking about engaging in combat again. His other two abilities alone are mostly crap when trying to attack anyone. Makes his anti-infantry gameplay very undynamic compared to Yoda who doesn't need to stop rushing.
I heavily disagree with your spot on Rey, she's easily one of my favourites and allows me to conveniently end up on top of the leaderboard so many times.
Her base dmg is low maybe, but you need to look at the whole picture.
First, her dash strike... can't be parried if you're just clever and try to flank people like Grievous, right?! Upon hitting people (+ dash strike dmg card), they don't get pushed far away, allowing you to immediatley add follow-up strikes, allowing one to quickly kill or severely weaken enemy heroes.
Also you seriously underestimate her insight ability. Her best star card is basically the one that increases the ability duration, the cooldown of the ability is rather short too.
Not only does it give her the best stamina you could probably have in the game, it also adds 10 points saber dmg, so she can do just the same amount of damage as Obi-Wan and Vader per strike. So her lower base dmg is pretty much neglectable. Also there's the card that increases her dmg furthermore upon using mind trick.
What's even more important in infantry modes is that trying flank people as hero is finally something that isn't deemed to fail due to the crappy casual minimap mechanics because it gives Rey stealth. It can be very enjoyable to not get ganked by all rocket troopers of the enemy team at once while trying to operate behind their lines or just anywhere on the map.
Works fine for HvH as well, Iden can't just stun you if you simply attack her from behind (additional dmg!). Also for other saber heroes. Unless they hear the footsteps or a silly "I don't like you Kylo/Phasma..." plays all of a sudden there's no way for them to tell in advance.
As someone who loves lonewolfing and flanking in other fps games too, this is really welcome. It's funny when people are getting toxic when I'm doing this because they basically expect me to play Rey just like upfront tank Vader.
Guess which one is my favourite soldier class.
