It's a bit silly to prevent a character's kit from being utilized in a gamemode because of the gamemode's restrictions on minimum squad members.
This isn't an omicron unique to a gamemode but the core of his kit and lore. It's silly to break it. Please fix it.
Or just allow undermanned teams in general.
yea we get darth lame in TB
I get why they require 5-toon teams in TB. It's a relic gate. You don't get to invest in only one toon and then solo for the same TP as if you invested in the team, even if that one toon is a GL.
I am not saying I agree with them, but this isn't some coding quirk that wasn't considered. They made an intentional decision based on concerns that they were balancing. So I think it's unlikely to be rescinded.
Personally (and CG if you're listening) I think the best way to handle this is to give a throw-away droid an Omicron for Territory Battles that says that if Bane and one other Sith are present, that a Sith is in the leader slot, and all other toons are DS droids, then Bane's Rule of 2 is active.
Then you can have Bane do his thing and also have a use for that IG-86 you brought up for Ops. Because they're droids, it also fits the spirit of the Rule of 2. And it only works in TB bc it's a TB omi.
They could handle this if they wanted to. The question is, do they want to?
I'd settle for his first special, Malevolent Whirlwind, working how it's described. It's supposed to dispel buffs and then deal damage. Instead, Foresight makes it whiff completely. But again, I think this is a deliberate choice by CG.
CG, either fix this ability to do what the kit says, or update the kit's wording to match what it's currently doing.
