CG, Please Stop

It's not even powercreep any more. It's gotten to the point where it feels like units are being mistagged. Maul (hate-fuelled) - attacker, ludicrous offense gains (100% as a very base), massive TM gains and effects that used to be unique like Edge Of Madness, which now doesn't even tell you what it does. And on top of that, he can't be instantly defeated and has Hatred (200% offense as a base then, my bad). That's way too much even for an attacker, but then he also has 2000% defense when his health gets low. That's absolutely nuts, and more befitting of a tank.

Speaking of tanks, Satele Shan. It's like the opposite of Maul, where she has ridiculous offense gains. Stars with a base of 100% and gains another 100% whenever she uses Force Stun (3 turn cooldown). On top of that, if she's called to assist against a marked enemy, the cooldown is essentially reset and now everyone has 300% offense. Throw in another 50% from Fearless. Her basic can also deal 40% more damage, has 100% Protection and can have 200% Defense, and her 20% Protection Up stacks whenever she taunts, which she will do so a lot. This goes beyond a conquest character, venturing into, dare I say it, GL territory. Oh, she also can't be instantly defeated, though the wording of this is unclear whether it means permanently or just while she has Protection, and has two saviour mechanics, both from herself and JKR. 

She also suffers from no ability descriptions for these little used effects. I had to trawl through swgoh.gg while making this just to remember half of them and count the offense gains.

There's far too much stacked into these kits because CG is trying to make these teams shield themselves from all angles, and that's very bad for powercreep. Let an attacker be an attacker. Let a tank be a tank. I'm not asking to go back to the days of Jedi Consular, but these kits need to be wheeled back just a little, even if these aren't marquees.

    Respectfully, that’s just where the game is. I know the power creep sucks, but if the team is going to feel comfortable to play in the era of GL’s and Datacrons, it needs a centerpiece like this. And I’d rather a conquest character be impressive and fun than middling like Scion Boba. I agree that the game was more interesting before relic’s, GL’s, Datacrons, Omicrons and pseudo-GL characters with three zetas, the theory crafting was more fun and the teams were more original and unique. But to get back to that now would require elevating nearly the entire old roster, or downgrading most modern characters to balance it all. It’s fine to lament, but we should also be realistic about expectations. 

  • Dear CG, please just add a toon named Darth Jar Jar.  His kit is simple.  If Darth Jar Jar is in your inventory and your opponent does not have Darth Jar Jar, you automatically defeat your opponent.  

    At this point, you’re cutting your own game’s throat with these insane toon kits you’re putting into the game.  What’s the point of having a Galactic Legend title, the Stranger steamrolls GLs.  

    It’s becoming harder and harder to believe you have a 30 year plan, let alone a plan for the rest of 2026.

    Oh, I agree the OR team is a bit dated, but I think this is a little excessive.

  • I’m going to have to disagree with you about Satele. She is exactly the lifter that Jedi Revan has needed for years. That team has always been incomplete, and has never been able to stand against Darth Revan (the contemporary counterpart), and I for one am thrilled to see that they’re getting some love.
