Commando Droids

I'm new to this forum but I've been playing this game since beta. I've decided to come to this forum to discuss my biggest problem with the game. I know people are tired of hearing OP this and OP that but...

Something has to be done about Commando Droids. I don't play heros at all. I want this game to be a challenge I could tell early on that if I got really good at heros I could just walk around killing without much difficulty. Well I stopped playing Commando Droids for the same reason. I suck and I could stand toe to toe with Anakin and any hero. They are good at everything. They have no weaknesses. They have very powerful ranged weapons. They are as hard to hit as Yoda. They can take 2 or more direct shots from any other ranged weapon with no problem. Next to a light saber the have the most powerful melee weapon in the game. They have absolutely no weakness. 

I was just playing on Kamino as a Clone Commando and multiple times was killed almost instantly by a Commando Droid. I play Clone Commando whenever I can and I don't stand any chance against a Commando Droid one on one. The only chance I have is about 1 out of 100 times hitting them with the push and follow up with a barrage. But usually they are fast enough to heal and come back and kill me before my cool down is up. I understand heros are supposed to be OP., that's why they are heros. I really wish there was a no hero mode in online play but that's just me and I have to deal with that. 

Most of the time I really enjoy this game and have found no other game I enjoy more but I am tired of rage quitting 90% of the time due to Commando Droids.

  • @SlawterinU Commando droids and clone commandos are more effective with different play styles. A commando droid can easily take down a single foe, but will have trouble dealing with a larger group of enemies. Clone commandos work better overall when they have team support. To defeat the commando droid try and mow it down from a distance. If it hides behind something throw a bomb. Idk, every class has a weakness but I think the infiltrators were made to be good and long and close range - they’re generally good, so at the same time they have some general weaknesses
  • Sounds good in theory but this is what happens in reality. I see the commando, he has no idea i'm there, I shoot him in the back with a barrage, he only takes about 25% damage, he turns around and kills me in 2 shots when I am a full health clone commando. Happened today.

    @SlawterinU Barrage is a bit hard to kill with because they have a low blast radius

    Ok sorry, just realised you meant clone commando barrage. There is something up unless to missed one of the shots or didn’t fire all three. If you weren’t already damaged you can’t have died like that, it might be a more subtle form of hacking instead of one shot kills.
