@TRlALON Yeah I would say the players you experience with Chewie play him poorly and don’t take advantage of his attributes as they are now.
if you’re a Vader and you’re jumping to approach me the first thing to do is time your shots so they hit you as you reach the ground and before you take your next jump. As Chewie I don’t need to kill you as you approach, hitting you once or twice is enough to do around 450 points of damage which is half your health right there. Then all I need to do is once you do get close use dodge to position myself to toss stun that you can’t block and hit you with a couple more shots. At this point you’re either dead or very near dead; I can then combo roll and slam to bypass your block and either kill you or give me enough time to take the last shot I need to guarantee you die. Keep in mind that a tip with Chewie is to land shots at a distance .. why? Because with Furious Caster active a headshot registers 353 damage per cluster hit! That’s massive damage and at range the hit box detection is so haphazard that it’s VERY easy for your cluster shots to register as a head and melt huge damage before your opponent closes in. At that point their health has taken such a hit that you can legit just stand there and shoot them even if they’re striking you and Chewies DPS will kill them before they kill you.
there’s very little Vader can do if played this way because his saber throw doesn’t do heavy damage, focused rage doesn’t do the damage reduction it proclaims, and choke I can avoid by being close to you. In doing so the choke AOE is much narrower and easily rolled out of. A properly played Chewie has an advantage over any saber user it’s just a matter of leaning on his broken stats the right way. I find that most players lean on Hann, Leia, Bosk, & Iden anymore for this more so than Chewie.
@AnakinVader34 Thats easy. You fix roll by removing the immunity it has, making it like it used to be. Blaster uses can roll, they can even roll often; I’m good with that. But make it so that roll is used to actually dodge a strike or ability, don’t make it where roll provides full immunity regardless of where the character is. That makes it broken and toxic and why people lean on it so much. Yeah the dodge recharge is fast but you don’t have to proper time it, you can just spam it and let the immunity do the rest. Take that away and it makes a huge difference the way the mechanics re-balance.
@AnakinVader34What do you mean with easier to aim?
The aim pros hit the target anyways, so no wonder that they stick to Han's faster pew pew pew pistol. I can imagine that this ridiculously strong detonite charge + shoulder charge as well as the 3 rolls starcard matters too.
