Dark Side too overpowered

On average, the dark side seems too overpowered vs the light side in HvV.

Maul is lightning fast and has choke throw and some twirling blade attack which is super fast

Iden has a stun that lasts an hour for her to empty her full auto into you

Phasma stun and gun is about the same as Iden

Vader is strong health but seems fairly balanced at least

Boba attacks from the air and drops rockets all over

Bossk gasses everybody and uses noobtubes and mines

Now that Palp is back, it's back to him floating around like a fairy and shocking everything in sight. Besides being fast and slipping out of every situation. IMO Palp should be able to be knocked down by bowcaster like Boba.

Light side has no air support, no gas damage, no mines or noobtubes(excusing Han's detonator), a few shocks which are ok, and mostly pistols which do ok damage when you can manage to hit your lightning fast target vs the spray and pray method of dark side. Plus most of light side are slow moving.

Sometimes you'll get well balanced teams, but still for the most part the dark side has better powers overall vs the light side.

  • yep - dark side has had an advantage since the game launched.  would love to see anakin and obi-wan "bring balance to the force".

  • Absolutely. They need to bring something game changing for the light side

    At the start, I felt and thought that the light side had better heroes overall, but with time it feels like the Dark side has grown stronger. Some would even say too powerful for any human to control. 

  • Oh they are definitely whooping too much now. It's like 10-0 every time

    From a health regen point of view this seems to be the case. Unless I have miscounted the darkside have 4 Villains that can regen to full health via starcard or otherwise(trandoshan). Where as the lightside only have 3 heroes able to do this. I think it's time to bring Yoda to Palpatines level and give him some health regen. 😁

    Yoda, the ultimate support. "Gets passive healing around him". (this is not real)

    Didn't Yoda lose to Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith?  😉

    Dunno, thought that at first but have had my rear end handed to me (and vice-versa) by the likes of Leia, Lando, Han on many occasions.

    Would agree that the light-side need some air support though to counteract Fett. Even if it's just R2 using his little booster rockets to ram people. Lol

    😃

  • Light side needs air support for real. Give us an Ewok on a hang glider dropping rocks or something
