Yeah... you know, I am a casual player, and usually, I don't really mind a game being a little buggy or something. Even if it's as buggy as this hot mess that is Battlefront II at the moment, with zero Credits matches, no Credits rewarded for duplicate Star Cards, a large number of rewards that aren't claimable - not only credits, crafting parts and crystals, but unlockable weapons as well (that's really a problem, but for another topic).
You know what? Stuff like that can happen, and I have come to accept it.
But Palpatine is a whole different story. It is blatantly obvious that his abilities are completely broken. No one in or outside of his right mind would design one specific playable character in a game that can attack through obstacles when every other character - especially in the enemy team - cannot do the same. That just cannot be "working as intended". And the game didn't hit the virtual shelves yesterday. It's out for a while. And the problem is known - at least to every single person who actually tries to play it. And although I am in no way a competetive guy, getting killed over and over and over and over (ad infinitum) again by Palpatine - THROUGH A WALL - sucks every last ounce of fun I might have with this game out of the mix.
THIS issue needs to be dealt with. I can imagine re-balancing a whole playable character takes time and effort, but if you can't do it swiftly, just take Palpatine out of the game completely until it is done. Or at least make him inaccessible in Multiplayer. Let the lightning fetishists have their fun in Arcade, if they need it. It just isn't fun for anyone but the donkeycap who plays him. At all.
