The heroes and villains have always been more powerful than the troopers. This makes sense since that's the way it is in the Star Wars universe. How much so is obviously up for debate, as you've indicated.
For me probably the most ridiculous thing in the game is the absurd amount of blocking, sabers literally block from the side and sometimes from behind, it’s never ending at times and has no penalty for being a bad player, spam rewards more so than not.
The 1st game you had to time and use block somewhat wisely, not so here. Also not to forget the saber lock, meaning is you spam fast enough you literally lock on as in aimbot, add saber stun and well, you get the idea. It’s mostly use force moves/stuns, wash, rinse, repeat. What made heroes so unbalanced in GA aside from 4 in the last phase is the health regen.
That, then the low 4000 bp that should be 7 or 8 imo, and the fact another just takes ones place when you kill one killed any type of balance, and that’s not counting the glitches. Balance makes things competitive which apparently not many bf2 fans wanted to begin with, they wanted more of a cod zombies game in a Mp shooter.
