Re: Why do people hate blaster mains in hero modes?

@VetteC5RXYeah except that you literally said that the Chewie people I met played him poorly - besides not taking advantage of his attributes etc. I mean what player in a real tryhard mode doesn't try to use all advantages of his respectable character either?

Just thinking about the Grievous players who use his big hitbox size for those stupid jump exploits to get around your block.

So see how that came off for me, like that those players were idiots or noobs for simply not playing Chewie as it'd be possible to do.

@AnakinVader34That spread isn't really great over distances and the bowcaster rpm without middle ability is low. Also that visual effect and hitbox size, you stick out like a lighthouse and so everyone will target you. I mean especially in greater modes where most players of your team have normal human size.

As I mentioned before, people with a good aim don't need any crutches like spread anyways and so they use Han Solo for the high rpm, high gun dmg, high ability dmg, effectivity on all distances and high mobility due to that starcard.

    @TRlALON I said that because I don’t think everyone knows about a lot of the mechanic specifics of this game; especially newer players. TROS saw a large new player base. Many of them admittedly used YT videos to learn gameplay. Many of those videos did show players how to play by leaning on broken mechanics (without saying it’s broken mechanics). 

    many of those players I’ve seen tend to lean more on characters like Hann or Leia as opposed to Chewie because those blaster users attributes are more easily utilized. 

    long term players who know & understand the messed up mechanics can (and do) use a Chewie in full OP because they’re more familiar with why and how; newer players have an easier time with Hann & Leia due to structure so that’s more often what we see. Sure, players who use Chewie “use him” but from a pure numbers standpoint there’s clear advantages he has which aren’t readily countered. Chewie is OP he just isn’t as easy to exploit as others are. 

    Strats like jumping to approach Chewie to try and avoid his bow caster shots works on some players but on others not so much. I welcome someone to do that when I’m Chewie because it opens them up to big damage.
