Devs, Come Get Grievous and Boba

You left your annoying kids and I’m tired of babysitting them so PLEASE for the love of god rework them so that HvV doesn’t feel like a chore that I’m resigning myself to.

Every time I see Gribby or Bumbo Feff in the starting lineup I sigh audibly because I know that I’m going to spend that round chasing them across the map, dodging their weirdly OP moves and getting the drop on them before they can obliterate me with what I’m sure is very calculated button mashing.

Support for this game has ended, I know, but you have a responsibility (an ethical one as humans with a sense of right and wring, not a legal one [I LITERALLY have to make this distinction because like two years ago I called EA out on grifting and some pedantic basement dweller with a Danny DeVito thumbnail said that they aren’t required to produce a game that works well]) to leave the game in a state of array if you really stop all support for it. This is not that kind of state.

Why is Grievous able to do donuts around you in claw rush until you’re dead? Why do two of his abilities negate stuns when almost no other hero’s do? Why is almost everyone who plays this game aware of this and why would you be alright with that?

To a lesser extent, Why’s Boba’s concussion rocket overload enemy weapons within a 40 mile radius when it ALSO blinds them for an extended period of time? He’s a difficult target to hit in the first place; he doesn’t need an ability that fogs up your screen AND turns your blaster off.

The most ridiculous thing about these fixes is that they’d be so easy to implement. It would be maybe half a day’s work with immediate improvement to a game that, yes, has exceeded its shelf life, but one that you should still take pride in. Why do people on your forums have to lick your boots clean and BEG you to not leave your “finished” titles in a flaming heap?

  • @GoblinToenail Dude boba isn’t op at all, almost every hero can knock him out of the sky in some way. Plus Anakin absolutely destroys him, Pull= 50% of his health is gone.
  • @GoblinToenail Boba really isn’t a problem. He’s got really bad health and health regen. His blaster is not good in a 1v1 scenario if both are standing still. The best thing you can do is have Anakin pull him and heroic might him then shoot him while he’s disabled. I’m a pretty good Chewbacca so I can also shoot him out of the sky. Another tip is if you’re Leia or Han, wait to activate your middle abilities until after he uses his concussion rocket so it bypasses the effects of it and you can shoot still.
  • Boba is a nuisance and I can't stand playing against him, but he's not an OP problem like Grevious is. On this forum's last day we'll all still be coming to terms with Grevious adding us to his collection.
