All of the BHs worked alone and shouldn’t be leaders. Farmboy Luke or Old Ben never led anything. Heck, even CLS was not a leader. That line of reasoning is flawed, because so many of our leaders in game were not leaders in-universe.

Farmboy Luke and Old Ben are both examples of characters (like HK) who received abilities they shouldn't have in order to fill out functional roles in teams even though they didn't fit the character narratives. The CW series does establish though that some BHs deserve a leader tag, they frequently worked together.

What this announcement really means is that the direction they wanted to take HK in for synergy with revan would have caused his current leadership to enter an infinite loop and/or eclipse DR in performance. Droids won't beat DR for sure, but it's possible that HK post-rework might give GG droids an edge over JKR. (It's been speculated that HK will get deathmark, given dark bastila kit. I don't know the GG team well but imagine that deathmark would be a good addition to them for countering Jolee)

We'll have to wait for the rework details to know all m anything for sure

This is right but leaves the Problem of a Lack of leads in the faction and very outdated leads If you throw in non droids like already mentioned. Its a faction with a lot of characters that maybe can only Form one Team at Future (seperatist droids) and Missing that L3 lead will matter and it is not we have Something "lets wait for Grievous Rework or other "named" droids that arent in the Game yet" after Grievous Rework and now HK (both bound to Happen) and C3PO Legend faction is really complet and still Missing leads compared to Empire, rebels etc.

I am fine with HK is a murderbot and yes he should work well with his Master but i am not fine with changing a 3 year old lead without any real Problem over the years (Finn is another Level and already was before C3PO, Heck Revan itself is a big Design Trap). Keep in mind that this is without L3 lead, IG88 already got BH pass and nearly all named droids (we looking for a lead) are in the Game and finally seperatist droids are done too (without any Impact). So this is a Nerf (at least Looks Like) for a faction with nothing on the Tablet to replace that Missing lead and with nothing we can Hope for at Future.

And yes even If (i doubt) HK keept a lead you cant simply use +30 Speed or whatever on it cause faction is already slow (attackers) and cant Take a Punch well or offer any broken stuff and this with some legendary toons etc.

In SWTOR HK-47 led the droid army.

Analysis: It would appear that my primary assassination protocols have been tampered with, Master.

Declaration: If not, I will enjoy tearing those meatbags apart for putting their filthy fleshy hands on me.

As long as HK gets some freaking good synergy with Revan. And it should work with Sith and Jedi Revan, but if not, at least the Sith Revan was the one who built him.

Yeah this sucks cuz HK had an awesome leader ability if you had droids who attacked all enemies, and yeah I’m worried the devs might screw up my droid team, and sure it’s possible that the droids I use in my droid team might no longer fit together and will have to be repurposed into only their respective other teams - But I AM excited about a potential new unique (or 2?? Maybe ?). It could probably only improve right?

Defiant declaration: CG can change my leader ability when they pry my blaster from my cold, unliving hands.

Do you think hk will have deathmark? Would that be good in the str?

Lobot Meta go go!

GG, B1, B2, Droideka and Magnaguard are the only real 'droids' and they've been synergised as such.

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

But he technically counts as one in game ;)
