Evasion shake up

So we all know that fighting evasion teams is incredibly frustrating. Especially being on the receiving end of Dodge after Dodge after Dodge after Dodge. We don't need to get into the stories, we all have them.

What if instead of out right dodging the entire attack evasion instead halved the damage that you took when it activated? That way it is still a highly effective power but it doesn't auto win you the game. Especially when it happens a couple of times (as it always does) as in the case with old Ben and Rey.

It would also scale back down in power by allowing the special effects of characters attacks to actually happen as opposed to out right denying them. Thoughts?

    You can only have accuracy on the Arrow slot.

  • Anakin lead is the new meta at least on my shard. Speedy old Ben is terrifying though. I'm glad more ppl have not found speed main mods for him

    I hardly even see evasion lead teams in Arena and GW anymore. Droid teams are all over the place, Anakin leads with Clones, Ackbar leads with Leia, QGJ, STH.



    What rank are you? Nearly 40 out of the top 50 in my shard are Old Ben or Dooku leads. I hate it. Team after team after team... all exactly the same. Dooku/Ben, Rey, Leia, QGJ, RG. There must be at least 15-20 of those exact teams in my shard top 50 at the moment

    I usually finish in the top 10, top 15 on a bad day. The top ten on my shard is mostly droids. I remember one day I finished second and the rest of the top five were droid teams. There's some Ackbar leads, some Anakin, a couple of Rex leads, more people including myself using Phasma.

    Edit: I just looked, 2 Old Bens in the Top 20, no Dooku leads.

    6 Phasma
    6 HK
    1 Rex
    2 Ackbar
    3 Anakin
    2 Old Ben

    21-50 it seems to be more Old Ben and Dooku leads.


  • Dodge is stoopid because it applies to too many toons. I have no problem with Dooku or Ben dodging it up but it doesn't really make sense to me how a leader gives the rest of his team an equal amount of dodge. An RG that dodges 5 out of 6 attacks is just plain dumb. Because Dooku is on his team all of a sudden a slow tank turns into mr agile?? That is slightly irrational to me. But I don't have a problem with Dooku dodging 5 of 6 attacks because that is his thing.

    Basically I don't think dodge is broken, but I do think dodge lead is OP and unrealistic.

    Yup, same here. Ton of Old Ben's, a few Dooku, a Teebo, a couple of droids, and a few Phasma. All but the droids run a Rey, and most of them also pack QGJ, RG, and Han. It's basically top 20 of clone teams minus the actual clones.
  • I agree with most of what people have to say here. Obviously lists will change from server to server but I started when the game first came out and my server is packed to the gills with old Ben or Dooku meta. A couple droid lists out there but only a hand full in the top 100.

    My problem with dodge is as many of you mentioned above. Accuracy mods would be a great counter. But I haven't gotten any yet and don't see them flooding the market any time soon.

    I agree that even if you did have accuracy mods then you're not really fixing anything, you're just giving up valuable mod space so you can finally consistently hit an opponents team when they've spent their mods to make their list super (fast, critical, offensive, etc).

    I have a 4* B2 and agree again. While 7 star may be amazing he's not really a viable option as to get him to 7* would cost a ludicrous amount of money. A Ps4 game cost 60 bucks. Requiring spending hundreds on a single toon to be in the top 100 is a silly notion.

    When a character's attack is dodged most effects of that character are negated as well. The way I see it that's a 2 for 1 power. No other power in the game can compete with that. That power is essentially saying, you don't do damage, AND I cancel your special effect, AND I get some other benefit like turn meter or damage up. Hence my suggestion to make it do 1/2 damage instead. Or hell, take baby steps. Maybe try reducing damage to 0 first but at least let the potency vs tenacity play out and see if the attack advantages take hold.

    Anyone else see a better way of keeping the evade power in the game and effective but removing over the top nature of it?

    By the way you guys have been amazing on this forum. Great feedback, no trolling even if you don't agree. Very impressed.

    I meant equip an accuracy mod on each of your characters..
  • Yeah, btw, explain how sometimes, even when you dodge a attack, I've seen characters still somehow take some damage, or, get a Status Effect on them?
  • I've witnessed that sometimes too but only with specific abilities such as vader's ability block. Can't explain why it happens sometimes and others don't
