Heavy's OP Ion Torpedo
The Heavy Trooper's Ion Torpedo ability is extremely overpowered, I did not even notice until recently - nobody was really using it before, I guess. Now I've tried it, and I'm constantly winning aga...
I've read some, though I did not find any response from a CM on this topic, except when I (and some others) thought that firing 3 torpedoes was a bug. (Funny how uncommon the use of the card was, if we only noticed it this Summer). Though if there was a topic exactly like this one, with a longer conversation about it, then no, I did not find that one.
That being said, I'm also unsure what the player consensus is on this topic, for me, it is surprising to see people cheer for such an imbalanced buff (- maybe they only play as ground troops).
My main problem is that the torpedo requires no skill whatsoever, only some seconds to charge, and then it does all the work. Taking into account that with many ground vehicles, there is no way to dodge, and with starfighters, it is entirely up to your maneuvering abilities, this kind of damage output feels unfair.
I also thought and many of my friends that it is a bug. It is just super powerful and really OP. Really discourages you to waste points on ATST or any other vehicle!
