Fixing Mace Windu
Hey, everyone. So, with the Anakin rework being finished and soon implemented, I thought it may be time to look at another toon in need of a tune-up, Mace Windu. Now, I know what a lot of people will be thinking, he already got reworked and won't get changed, and other toons need to be fixed first. I agree on both accounts. However, I don't believe Mace needs a rework.
Mace Windu is not a bad toon. He can deal decent damage, has solid health, can remove buffs, and even expose enemies. Not a bad kit. So then what is the problem with him? Well, he's really just an average toon. Nothing special, nothing too weak, either. But to fit more within the lore of the character, people seem to want him to be stronger. Now, here is my idea for adjusting Mace.
First, his AI needs to be fixed so that he will attack exposed enemies. Already this would make him much more viable. Next, he only needs a few small things. I feel as though adjusting his basic attack so that it cannot be evaded or countered could be a great fix for him. It fits the character, it is a light side version of the ability Grievous has, and it allows another counter to the dreaded dodge meta. The only other thing to do would be to potentially add some more damage to his basic, as well. Nothing huge, but a medium boost would do the trick. Next, I think his unique ability allowing him to expose enemies is a cool thought, should not get changed, and his leader ability is fine. Yet, his Smite ability, which currently removes all positive buffs could use a change. If this ability were to act in a similar way to Qui-Gon's ability, which gives offense up to all squad members, it would be much better. I propose that Mace's ability gives critical chance up, again it would be somewhat unique, and fits in with what Mace brings to the table in terms of lore and how his character works in game.
What are your thoughts on this? Could this be a good fix or should Mace just get ignored due to his recent rework and other characters with more pressing needs?
