Does Asajj Ventress Need to be Fixed (Renamed)

She uses her dispel if one enemy has a buff when she could have just killed him. Facepalm

Lol, exactly. My favorite is when she just got a buff from a kill, and the other team has 1 buff on a single character, and she'll debuff herself and him. How retarded is that, she'll do it to when she could possibly take out 2 or more characters. Lol.

She could use about 20 speed too.

then please vote yes

First?

The AI is appalling. She's horrible for Arena defense, even though I love her on offense.

Since someone brought up her speed, which is unrelated to the original question of this thread, I'll address that too:
I've said elsewhere that Ventress' speed is not broken, but she needs to get that speed at earlier levels. She currently maxes out at speed 112 around level 70 or so (if she is the leader). That max is fine, but she should reach it around level 40-50.

Her speed at level 70, however, comes entirely from increases in her leadership skill. From level 1/ gear 1 to level 70/gear 8 she adds literally nothing to her base speed.

I've said for other reasons that there is an important distinction between speed 91 and speed 90. If she hit speed 91 on her own, without being the leader, at the very latest by level 60, but really it would be better around 45-50, then she wouldn't need any speed increases at all after that. She'd still be the slowest on most all teams, but those 5 extra points of speed add up to 100 cumulative points of speed over her first 2 actions.

Around there she starts getting chances at turn meter bumps, etc. The base speed increase - by a bit, not too much - is just to make sure she doesn't fall too far behind before she starts getting these.

What really upset me is that they SAID they were giving a damage boost to slower characters, but they gave Ventress, the slowest named hero in the game and the slowest toon of any kind once you're past level 60, a damage nerf on her basic. Don't give her that nerf and then leave her speed alone. Give us the 91 base speed somewhere in the level 45-60 range or give us back the damage you took away from her basic attack.

Totally agree, I was so pissed with the Nerf to her damage, and their lack of fixing her horrid AI. So if we went by the notes that said that slower characters would hit harder and faster toons would hit softer. QGJ, Yoda, Sid, Daka, etc. should hit like wet noodles, whereas Asajj should be able to 1 hit kill low hp characters. Kinda makes me want to start a petition to the devs to fix her, but alas I cannot as that would be against the rules:

(I removed your recent poll because you called it a petition, which is against the forum guidelines. If you would like to create a thread about a specific character please do so in the feedback section of the forums.),

so I had to sacrifice for this tucked away area on the forums, named the feedback section, where no one ever really goes so the devs never really get an idea of whats really wrong with the game. Instead they focus on characters who are easy to get and supremely popular. So we will keep getting a game where every 3 turns you take hitting me like a mack truck you only have to deal with my wet noodle once. So we get these unimaginitive cookie cutter top 50 servers, where everyone has to have the meta.

lol

but I digress

I agree 100% with your post.

This question is regarding the current bad AI for Asajj Ventress.

You should have put:

a) Fix her 2 months ago
b) Fix her yesterday
or
c) Fix her tomorrow!

It's ridiculous that they change her kit & don't adjust for how AI runs her.
She's flat out broken.

+1 This^

If you vote "NO", then please tell us why you think she is ok the way she is. Unless of course you are just voting no to be different.

Very low HP, very low speed, and AI's first favourite to attack. How perfect is that?

Because AI still thinks she's a healer
