And again, no changes were made to any other characters regarding gear. I checked with our designers on this and was told only Greedo was affected.

But why nerf my boy greed greeds health? He was a baller and just like how he played ball he couldn't shoot for Jack. But when he picked up my girl he sure as heck shot first if you know what I'm saying.

Lol, baller

His health steal has been severely nerfed, as someone mentioned earlier. I'm not upset about it but I find it odd that its not being acknowledged as one of the changes made to his gear.

All said, he doesn't feel nerfed overall - speed and damage are better than health and recovery in most spots.

@EA_Jesse

But why make this change prior to rolling out these future updates? It creates a disparity that many find totally unacceptable. Was there some sort of pressing need to do it right now that I'm missing?

Scoundrel Event. ;)

I'm not a server engineer or coder, but I do know that some things need to be done during certain update time frames. That's about all the information I can provide.

Maybe. I'm not totally discounting that. But from where I'm sitting I don't see the issue with where he was. Especially considering that there are now those capable of getting him to g10 for the same event.

He was nerfed so people would farm Lando. People will need as many Scoundrel heroes as they can. That means more money for CG.

Now I don't care if you do this. I don't care if you nerf every single hero I have. But if you don't give advanced notice I will be fuming.

-Advanced notice
-Proper patch notes
-Proper communication

I don't care how terrible the game is, if you devs are upfront I will be happy.

What's Greedo's speed w/ Lando's leader ability? Maybe they're simply trying to make a scoundrel squad a little less bogus?

Full disclosure - I love Greedo and he was the first character I fully maxed in this game. As a child, I loved the texture of his toy's head. I may have been slightly autistic or something idk.

Thank you for not taking away gear. Especially since I use him on my arena team. Those of you who know why keep it to yourselfs k

Is it because he shot first?
