Heroes vs Villains sucks
For being my favourite mode in the first game I was excited that it would be returning in this game, yet the iteration in this game is beyond terrible, lightsaber wielders are way more powerful tha...

You can dodge out of lightsaber strikes even after being hit (maybe not Kylo's Frenzy, but that's different), and you can ridiculously outplay melee heroes with ranged ones just by dodging-shooting-dodging etc. while throwing in some abilities. Also, the map layouts just need to be learned and used accordingly, I don't have a problem with that. Gaps are just as dangerous for a Force user.
Other than that, I mostly agree. The gamemode is simply dumb. I know that there would be balance issues if we had troopers, since heroes became easily killable even in 1on1 hero-trooper clashes, but just give slightly more health/armor in this mode, or damage penalty to the trooper classes.
Since I've completed every achievement/challenge that has to do with HvV, I don't ever plan to play it again, it literally offers no fun. Maybe if some new dlc hero challenge seems easier to achieve in HvV (as it was the case with Phasma's staff), I'll grind it there, but that's it. We could've had e.g. a CTF-type game mode instead of this. We started off with so few gamemodes as it is, it was kind of a luxury to make one of those such garbage.
- I disagree on the no fun factor, I enjoy this mode. The only problem is the lightsaber stun, it's ridiculous that you can lose 3/4 of your health before you can even move again, if it's 2v1, just set down the controller. They stun when they reach you and all but 1 can reflect your shots back at you, then they can jump into areas only they and Fett can reach. It's insane at the advantage they have. If the blasters don't stun, why do lightsabers? There is already a roll cooldown to prevent blaster users from avoiding them forever and it's super long too.
The game mode is fine, people not protecting the target are just idiots. They want to get their 500 kills or whatever so they go run off like lemmings and die 50 times because THEY can. I've had games where I was solo vs 3 heroes, one the target, and my team was nowhere around. When I got back, they STILL weren't there. It's like killing the target would give them some sort of disease pinacilin can't cure. Not the modes fault, your teams fault. Go in with a friend and pair up, or play a support hero, usually 1 other will stay bearish to you.
TLDR: mode is fine, people are stupid, stop letting lightsabers stun you to death.So interesting the different opinions. I really like the new HvV, compared to the old game. I get to be a hero 100% of the time, and none of the stupid timing out of round after round because people aren't playing the objectives. I like the pace of the game, and the targeting. If you get a team that cooperates by hanging out together, you can be unstoppable, especially if you are playing against a team that has no idea how to team play.
Agreed that it is more of a team mode. People that have been playing awhile have figured it out. Only thing that irks me is the spawn points are so far away from the battle. If everyone is playing as a team.and one person dies, the other team not has a HUGE advantage and can mop up the remainders. After spawn it is CRITICAL that you find your team before engaging in another battle.
