HK-47 rework

It's another TM nerf very similiar to Finn. :( This time they are offering material returns (Which they REALLY need to do with Finn as well, and are apparently now considering, finally), but it was only an omega so whoop de do, the real crime is the nerf which many suspected and dreaded when it was leaked. So much for the droids...

Changing HK finally for this stupid Revan stuff is so wrong.... It wasnt OP cause HK was super outdated compared to his solid but simple lead and most droids arent strong enough on their own and it was already No easy task to balance a HK Team with the right amount of damage and other abilities to control/finish the fight since newer Teams are more durable.

I mean:
a) droids with HK wasnt Meta, even after GG Rework
b) L3 missed a Leader ability
c) C3PO offers nothing for droids and is the last named Droid (Legend) for the game too
d) 4-LOM wasnt at Long BH pass so expect he never comes
e) Grievous Rework wasnt as good as expected and still aims clearly for seperatist droids
f) HK crit lead was already countered in many ways GK, Zarris, Rex, even Biggs at old days and Run vs Something than CLS now is a Nightmare too
g) that leaves JTR as best droid lead which is mostly for LS Droids and a big fail Design at Lore anyway
i) leaving us with IG88, Poggle, Nebit... C'mon CG...

Imho CG tries to remove all high volume turn meter manipulation from all leader skills, because each one of them may lead to infinite loop under certain conditions. This is a design flaw that exist in Swgoh from the very beginning and now they’re just trying to fix it to prevent more trouble in the future. Personally I would love to see all turn meter manipulation and speed in mods removed - some characters are supposed to be slower to compensate for high damage, powerful skill, etc. Then we would have good strategy game instead of „gimme moar crazy high speeed mods”. Can’t wait to get my +0 speed Droideka to 7* ;)

Yeah but there is no HK raid breaking loop, its a droid specific lead and there are no legendary or even main movie droids really left to release... so why tackle a non-issue when there are so many actual issues with the game?

I have to disagree. HK was no fan of other droids, and apart from TM, didn't actually work with other droids. He was created by Revan and therefore should align with Revan. The addition of him in the original game is the oversight (the 'oh we should add some droids in. Does anyone know any other than R2 & 3po' moment) - now meaning he needs to be changed now as more characters have been added. This seems logical to me.

The other point is, that droids on there own shouldn't really constitute a faction (sorry fan boys) unless it's GG led era. IG for example is a bounty hunter who happens to be a droid, R2 again is a droid but assists the rebels. GG, B1, B2, Droideka and Magnaguard are the only real 'droids faction' and they've been synergised as such.

It's also clear that if they are giving us the leader mats back he won't be a leader any longer. Expect the rework to change his lead to a zeta unique and add another unique in

Fun fact - GG isn't even a droid, he is from a species known as the Kaleesh.

And technically a cyborg hence his beating heart and lungs

Well, I both agree and disagree here. By that logic, you shouldn't be able to make scoundrel teams either, or combine bounty hunters from different eras (or include bounty hunters who mostly worked alone).

And while it's true that most of the droids in the game have different faction alignments and come from different eras, they all still function on binary computer language, meaning there is nothing else than their software stopping them from integrating with eachothers' strenghts. Actually, if there wasn't any barrier in their masters' programming, they would have the perfect synergy with eachother. Kind of like how IG88 went rampant, and integrated himself with IG2000.

Yeah but even Grievous Rework wasnt as expected and IG88 lead his droid copies.

L3 lead a Droid Rebellion and died for it and has no lead (big Point @CG) and it is a shame a faction with 16 characters (Not many left that arent already in the Game and are Leader Material too) are only s Support Cast now besides that long awaited but not so hot Seperatist Rework (Grievous also wasnt OP under HK)

Right?
If he has a droid tag, then by that logic, so should Darth Vadar. Grevious was the early experiment that lead to vadar's bionic suit.
