Here is a video of this phenomenon, though it's a bit chaotic and hard to make out. However, it is clear at times that Luke is being hit, yet there is no indication of that, nor is there any change in his health.

  • I clicked 'me too', just want you all to know I've been through this experience and a few PS4 friends also. I hardly see Palpatine being pick because of this issue.  They thought that was the nerf lol

  • @EA_Atic Can confirm (on PC) me and my friend whenever we pick palpatine, his lighting doesn’t do damage sometimes and it’s just terrible especially in showdown where it’s fast paced.
  • So after the May hotfix, not only this problem is present - still -, but now the abilities are bugged aswell. Chain lightning is just 100% useless, nothing even happens.

    You did not nerf Palpatine - you broke him.
