@CPMP - One of the goals of the update was to mitigate / reduce the one-shot kills. Not entirely eliminate them. Under the right circumstances of attacker / defender / buffs / debuffs it is still possible.

@CG_JohnSalera Thanks for the reply. But i can't understand how this change would solve the balance between fast, high dmg toons and slow, low damage toons. If the purpose of this wasn't to eliminate the one-shots, then this worked as a huge buff to fast/high damage teams. Heroes like ig88 and GS, Rey, that there only counter was to kill them ASAP, now got a "buff" with protection. While slow heroes like boba, stormtrooper, JKG, nightsister initiate, etc etc. which already had 100 counters, now they have 100+1.

Dude the only character that still one shots is Rey. GS even with Poggle lead doesn't one-shot nothin anymore! I leave GS now among the last. The AI has to focus GS and the next high damage attacker on your weak toon in order to kill it.

I lost a Ventress to one shot by GS calling ig88. Ventress was exposed too, something that isn't uncommon because those droid teams run a Poe as well. But lets assume they don't. Watch the video above, look how close the very first attack by GS was close to kill someone. Poe Poggle teams are known for their speed too. How hard is to finish off an almost-dead hero, after his hp reached red with 1 attack? Would you think that Darth Maul would now be viable and not a subject to "kill him before his turn" anymore? But even if you don't kill him, can he still one shot? Cause if he can't, i doubt he'll ever get to attack 2nd time with his speed, especially vs HK47 led droids, that attack like machine guns. This update made slow heroes struggle more. The big reason behind all this was "Now heroes would be able to use their utility before they die". While this statement is true, now using an ability block by some heroes like boba fett, would make little difference with all that protection increase. It would've been a lot more useful if it was with pre update stats, but not now.
PS. It just crossed my mind that some of these "utility" heroes happens to be the droids too! Aoe+single (poggle) ability block, speed down, offense down, defense down, turn meter gain, healing immunity. Those rusty buckets have everything! Everything! No matter what new heroes, even droids they add, those 3 droids along with poggle are god tier.
