General Hux changes

Why are people so surprised? It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last. It is your fault. Should have waited.

They also need to refund the gear

Granted, CG should have realized this before releasing him, but faction toons should really only help faction teams. Why would Hux help Sith Empire or Rebels? He has no business being on those teams. If he had a neutral tag, then maybe but he clearly has a FO tag and should only help as such. It would be like AA helping Thrawn and Co. get extra attacks or Traya boosting Ren. Stop looking for reasons to crucify CG, they give us enough on their own but this I Cannot agree with the anger. You all should have known this would be changed regardless if it was taking out the meta that Hux should not be helping no FO teams.

Because people like theory crafting teams that aren't just the cookie cutter faction teams the CG makes for us.

That being said, I think they should've made it so that Hux's stuff required at least one other living FO ally, similar to the way that NS zombie unique is applied. She can't die as long as there is one other living NS ally, but she can get bricked by killing her a couple times and giving her -100% speed. Hux can still lose the ability by being crit or dispelled so that he no longer has advantage. It's not like theres no way around his ability, and it would make sense for him to be controlling as long as he had at least one other FO ally around, not just if there are only FO allies.

He goes from an arena tool to a solid GA tool.

No complaints

Why does everyone think that this is theory crafting and great strategy??? There is NO strategy involved in placing a character on the field to do nothing except sit there, have an effect for a turn and then die. There is no strategy in that beyond having basic reading skills and basic hand eye coordination to move the characters into the correct slots ...

You have to admit that a large portion of the playerbase wouldn't have come up with the strategy to use Hux in a DRevan team to beat GAS, atleast not on their own.

You are all missing the point. Stop investing in characters the first few days they are out. Seriously. This was so obviously how this character was going to be used. It took all of a few hours for people to figure it out same as palp countering malak. There is no excuse for missing this other than lack of testing. Wait a week before you spend on these new characters.

characters that can "cheese" the latest and greatest are not that much fun if you own the latest and greatest. Not only that it makes you think twice before you spend to get the latest and greatest.

Then do some testing before hand. Problem solved. Go figure that it's that easy

Tooling?

You're preaching to the choir, but that's not really an argument in favour of not adjusting the kit post release.

It barely required testing though. All CG had to do was look at the current meta-dominant team and their most recent "golden child" and see what would happen if they plugged Hux into one to counter the other. This isn't rocket surgery.
