Emporer Palpatine can shoot lightning through walls.

What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? rank1rager

What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 10:02 PM
In what game mode did the bug occur? Galactic Assault
What is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This is talked about every 3rd game in the in-game chat so I'm not sure how it wouldn't be known already but emporer palpatine with purple epic cards, especially ones that buff his lightinings reach and chain lightning abilities allow him to kill almost an entire room of people through walls. There is nothing you can do as any of the trooper classes. You cannot see him on the screen and he kills you basically instantly. With the recent nerfs to the heavy class which were the best counter to hero's it's even worse.
What happens when the bug occurs? He clears an entire room of troopers almost instantly from behind walls making it near impossible defend objectives or prevent snowballing. It makes the game pointless.
What do you expect to see? Having high damage and chained lightning is fine but when you can't even see him and he can cast lightining spells through walls with no ability to refute or even see it coming and stay out of range is just not good game balance..

    I have just one thing do tell about this bug.
    It isn’t near impossible to defend objectives against Palpatine and his pass trought wall habilities.
    It’s impossible!!!!!!
    Four, five or more troppers a time got defeated each time.

    Must fix it.

    Nerf him now!

    Xbox one - He is way overpowered. I just his chain lightning go through a wall killing 4 players who had no option to shoot him or even see him. No wonder everyone tries to get him as soon as they have enough battle points.

    Yes he is sooo effing overpowered, since the dev team destroyed the who power that made Rey an actual hero. By removing the third ability "Mind Trick" they whole feature of the ability is hello "allows Rey to render her enemies dazed and confused in a radius around her." And now any enemy can escape that ability.

    How many Heroes can evade Boba Fett's Rockets? How many Heroes cannot be shocked by Captain Plasma's droid? How many Heroes can just jump out or counter from being chocked by Darth Vader? How many Heroes can dodge Darth Maul Spin Attack? obviously none so far because NO ONE can evade Emperor Palpatine's Dark Aura     The area around The Emperor is charged with Force energy, damaging and slowing foes, and moves through walls, closed doors, and outside the map. ... Seriously!

    Well... every single one of Palpatine's powers can be used through walls. And every single one shouldn't do that. So I hope they don't only fix his lightning, but everything. I mean... come on... you can hide from Luke's Force Push behind those 5-inch pipes on Kamino, but Palpatine can kill you through a room and a hallway directly at your spawn. They might have taken "unlimited power" a little too literally.

    Yep, we were just in a match on the Death Star, some hacker gets Palpatine within the first minute of the game and then proceeds to kill our entire team through the walls just after we spawn every time. Our entire team couldn't make it past the entry of the very first section on Death Star because Palpatine was just killing us all through the walls with his lightning attacks.

    Well, you don't really need to be a hacker to do that. Getting him this early might be a hack, but locking down an entire team in their spawn happens regularly when the enemy team has Palpatine. Mos Eisley is great for that, too. And isn't it just fun, respawning just for being used as a human lightning rod? 😉
