Agreed, even after the nerf, he is way too powerful, both against troopers and heroes.
Heroic Might has no place in the game, even in this "weakened" state. It is a really cheap tactic with unfairly extreme damage. Then you factor in Retribution - an unblockable fourth ability to finish off those who expected Might and survived it.
He's an extreme crowd control character, and all his abilities build on that. Which would be good - but nobody else is this good, and the balance is totally broken.
One of the greatest things IMO is that he has Pull instead of Push - the lack of a Jedi with Pull was one of the biggest problems against irritating coward Boba players: even if you managed to hit them with your Force ability, you only increased the distance between you and him. Anakin is finally a great counter to the jetpack. They should have built more on this aspect instead of murdering a whole HvV squad with one lazy ability.
Think about Kylo, for example: while he has great abilities, you still need to use your head to utilise them. You can't just use Pull and then press another button that does everything for you (i.e. Anakin's Heroic Might). You still need to defend yourself, use Freeze in the correct moment, and even circle around them while frozen for backstab damage. Even then, they might have the opportunity to retaliate. That is a balanced character with good abilities. (Though his Pull is still totally broken and only works half the time.)

Yeah, Kylo's Pull is nowhere as near as consistent as Anakin's. Especially in HvV. It works fine for me in GA.

Need I say more!!!. I have already voiced my opinion on Anakin in other threads.
- ggibb657 years agoHero (Retired)I decided to say more.
My problem with Anakin even after the nerf, is not regarding the power of his abilities but with the fact that he can position in front of everybody and take 90% DAMAGE REDUCTION whilst powering up. If that was reduced then maybe it would reduce the effect of his abilties.- 7 years ago
Heroic might needs longer cool down I think, I liked that his passionate strike has knockdown ability, but coupled with the pull its too much of a devastating combo to heros, however I just try to stay away from him and be selective...and yes I do try to control him with the stinger pistol as much as possible.
I don't play Heros vs villains. so Im saying this only from the GA and supremacy/ showdowwn perspective
