Re: Player Level Handicap Needs to be Removed

Before I stopped playing there I was seeing almost every game the enemy team was low level players and exactly what you're saying was happening. I actually doubted your theory at first but near the end when I gave this game up nothing else made sense apart from what you've said and I think quite a few picked up on this and created smurf accounts to take advantage of this. Almost every game the enemy team was low level accounts but playing like they've had the game since day one (you can just tell someone who's had a long experience for this game by how they play) and dealing the most insane damage I've ever seen. Most the times my abilities done nothing. Since I've stopped playing I stopped caring about what they did to this shambles of a game (HvV) and moved on. It's obvious they won't reverse what they did because they only want new players in the game so I think you'll most likely did what I did and give up and stop caring about this game also

    @HomerSpinson  Legit I’m playing right now and my level 260 Kylo vs a Level 10 Lando ... Lando had roughly 65 health and my saber strike from Kylo did NOT kill him! The level 10 Lando had a MAJOR damage reduction as Kylos standard saber swing damage from the front is slated to deal over 100 points of damage! 

    Lando should have been killed but the strike left him with something around 10 points of health (judging from the bar that now displays above the character); proving the low level Lando to dodge and evade away and their teammate to save. 

    I made my choice on which enemy to attack as I KNEW my strike would be enough to defeat the opponent and yet the strike didn’t kill him. No lag or bugs were observed and the strike registered, however, it registered a damage value WAY lower than the stated value for Kylo and Lando has no major damage reduction star cars buff; chalking it up to the handicap.

    @HomerSpinson  Check out this clip.

    in it my level 260 Kylo goes up against a low level Rey. You can clearly see that Rey is highlighted indicating she’s within Kylos AOE and when I use the Freeze ability the game completely IGNORES it nor does it refund me! 

    Rey wasn’t blocking nor was she in the process of blocking; the game simply ignored my properly timed ability and put it into cool down. 

    I allowed myself to be killed rather than flee so I could capture the opponents low level in the clip. This is happening ALL the time to players using higher level characters and classes.

  • Saw a lot of the same before I stopped playing @VetteC5RX and worse. I was taking regular screenshots because I was in utter disbelief what I was seeing but in the end I gave up. I thought I was going to miss the game when I stopped playing because I'm a big star wars fan but I don't really miss it at all. I just remembered how unplayable it was(heroes v villains) and noway will DICE ever get it right. A lot of things improved and I would say a lot of the times you got good games that was enjoyable but after that ROSY update almost every game was completely unbalanced and super buggy. Not enjoyable at all
