i think Stormy used Aayla, Rey, Yoda & GS. GG leader and no droids. I beat that team and now Stormy is back to #1 with no Grevious.
Appreciate it, That doesn't sound like the tactician @Stormy on the forums. Must be a fake.
The hope was that GG was capable of holding off damage in this world of non existent defense (yes, anyone can beat any team right now). Either GG leader ability isn't working, or he is just terrible. He shouldn't need to be with droids only to be successful.
Your experiment makes total sense to me. So do you suspect the leadership is bugged. I'm like you, I figured the damage and crit reduction would be nasty or at least effective.
I really hope the leadership ability isn't working properly. I'm easily one shot still in first turn from assiters when using GG lead (my Rey or QGJ gets killed before my turn). I would have to imagine that GG leadership should make that impossible to happen. If it is working right, I would say we could expect a GG buff in the near future- because he is currently unplayable to SA and barely playable in GW. For a hero of this rarity, "average" is unacceptable.
There is a careful line that the devs have to walk here though. There was a big thread about "should" there be heroes that are intentionally over powered. The general consensus has been that there should not be. Both for game balance and variety. Now, "terrible" and "virtually unplayable" are clearly different than "average". In some way, you could argue that all characters should be "average" (at least if you agree with the assumption that no characters should be intentionally OP).
The key part of the question is due whales pay for rarity, advantage or both? And if it is both - is it both forever? If GG were made more powerful than other heroes, whales would have both rarity and advantage for as long as they play.
To this point in the game's development it seems that whales are granted an advantage - but one that dwindles over time (usually a month or two). GG does not change this advantage that is already clearly in place. He is more a rarity. But, having GG be more powerful than other heroes would not only grant them a rare character, but an even larger advantage - and for a much longer period of time, due to the HUGE amount of resources/time it would take F2P or even modest P2P players to obtain him (6 months+ by most reasonable estimates).
If GG is buffed significantly in the next few updates, it seems that that would indicate a shift to a more P2W model (one that has not necessarily been in place to this point). Such a shift would be a rather unwelcome one by a majority of the players.
All that needs to happen is a buff that makes him playable and able to compete in a sea filled with free to play teams
