Rey us broken
Not only does she disorient she also doesnt show up on map so idk if shes sneaking up on me or not and when she does because she doesnt at least show in mini map how am i supposed to defend against h...
1) Rey has no ranged abilities unlike Vader/Kylo and therefore is bound to actually use her saber as only weapon.
2) Her vanishing from the minimap is only possible when her middle ability is active as @Sati_Sati pointed out. So there is at least some cooldown. However, clever players will wait until the ability is ready again before advancing towards the enemy once again and the ability cooldown duration is short.
3) No class in BF II is fully undetectable. For example if that Rey uses the Dash Strike from behind, you can her her activation scream. Regardless, her footstep sounds aren't suppressed and if a player uses a dodge, you can still hear the "woosh". I guess it's harder to spot without headphones, but being able to be cloaked from the minimap is simply meant to be a great advantage when in contrast everyone else is shown.
4) Rey is a great hero overall imo and especially in large modes very fun to use. But her having no ranged dmg abilities but a stealth ability instead means that the player who uses her will automatically put a heavy aspect on flanking people. So you simply have to deal with it, you can't expect a Rey player to just walk upfront to the enemy like Darth Vader.
I also have people in HvH crying about it regularly while they have no problem to use their great Kylo and Vader abilities on me, of course... They're exactly those people who refuse to acknowledge that Rey simply isn't Vader.
@TRlALON Is correct here. Rey is pretty middle of the road of a character EXCEPT for one aspect that is broken but it’s a bit of an exploit IMO
Dash Strike
When players crank up the input sensitivity Dash Strike becomes the old Claw Rush 2.0 before the nerf.
A high sensitivity Rey will see her movements so incredibly chaotic that it’s incredibly easy to register the hit detection and get the damage. What’s more is that unlike Claw Rush, Rey can pair dash with a regular strike for even more damage.
Not all players exploit like this but a lot do. IMO Dash should have been nerfed whe Claw Rush was to prevent this from becoming OP by reducing its damage output. Dash has a natively low cool down so it doesn’t need high damage to begin with; a properly used Rey can hang in a duel pretty well without having a broken Dash be able to melt players.
