Greedo Nerfed

And yes, his health was lowered. Not sure what other (if any) stats were adjusted.

Most of the gear I already have on him now requires over level 70. So even if you can get him to 9 from previously filling in gear, only a handful of people like myself can get him to gear 10.

Can we get some kind of official response on the gear changes?
@EA_Jesse @CG_JohnSalera

Can you give me two weeks to farm fingercuffs and syringes before you hotfix it back? I want gear X.

Yeah this is bad. Stats are all over the place on many different heroes. We need some sort of guidance in it.

We did the change to Greedo to prepare for something being worked on that we're not quite ready to talk about yet. Greedo was one of the only characters who could actually get to gear tier 9, which was oversight on our part. However, instead of removing a tier of gear from players who had actually farmed up the necessary components to get him to 9 we decided to make it so players who didn't have him there yet would only be able to get him up to gear level 8.

When the level cap increases to 80 in the future all Greedo users will be able to get him to the same gear level.

So you want it to be harder to complete the Scoundrel challenge. Meanwhile there is a massively disproportionate gear change between gear 10 and 8.

Another stealth nerf for a lot of people and a buff for others (lucky you).

Total bull.

Glad I got that one gear piece done then lol. But sadly doesn't matter as I don't use him.

Uh oh. Jesse explicitly mentioned level cap increase to 80, I'm bracing myself.

So they "leak" an upcoming scoundrel event....then nerf a scoundrel. And this little tidbit was accidentally left out of the update notes. Transparent as a brick wall. Nice.

I get the GG thing - keep the whales happy. But what the heck is this kind of crap?

Greedo is terrible in his current state, no reason to be upset. I'd imagine my gear X Greedo will be just as worthless as your gear VIII Greedo.
