Darth Bane Needs a Nerf

Hey everyone, 

I wanted to bring up a discussion about Bane's current state in the game. As we all know, Bane is a Conquest unit, and naturally, these units are supposed to be exceptionally strong . He was primarily designed to be a lifter. Given that Bane and SEE together can only be effectively used as an offensive team, it's fine if they can beat almost any team.

However, I've noticed that Bane is able to take down nearly every Galactic Legend and almost any other team on his own, even with a useless Sith companion. This remains true even though his Datacron is no longer active. In my opinion, this is simply too overpowered!

I believe that Bane should not be nerfed as a lifter unit, as that was his intended role. Instead, his solo performance needs to be addressed. Perhaps a nerf to his leader ability could be a solution?

What are your thoughts on this? Does anyone else feel the same way or have any alternative suggestions?

    What they should be doing is working to have more balance with "Defense" being strong.  Bane is just another offensive weapon, among too many, while defense is becoming more and more useless.  K1 is turning into a "half the battle" tier where people put down rubbish, a couple banner stealing teams, maybe 2 GLs, then save everything else for offense to do a full sweep.

    While CG said that GLs are the top tier (best of the best of the best Sir, with honors!), CG will continue to power creep them with other characters as the other characters make them a lot of money. 

    Of course, Ahsoka will probably be what all GLs should be, but we'll most likely need Fulcrum at R9 along with snips and CAT and they'll make her even more expensive.

    Don't count on anything other than more "new shiny!" characters and teams beating anything and everything.  With or without datacrons.  (Don't forget to just R9 your entire roster!)

  • I totally agree. Hate this powercreep… CG does not care about balance…

  • I think everyone realizes that Bane is overpowered, but of course I understand that the people who invested in him don't want a nerf. But CG, as far as I know, never makes balance changes anyway, so that's not going to happen anyway.

        So I thought maybe in 5v5 he is going to be less strong, but turns out he is still waaaay too strong xD
