How would you fix GL imbalance?

Maybe new character... Resistance counter-intelligence officer. Unique: If any Kylo and Hux are on a team together Kylo kills Hux at the start of battle.
:smiley:

Easy.
Whilst Rey has another ally with the inspire buff, she has a 70% chance to dispel a stacking debuff...

Whilst it might be slightly harder to code, but it would mean that, say Vader inflicts his dots, they have a 70% chance to be dispelled, for each debuff...

This, in turn, wouldn’t made Vader a useless counter,but you would need other debuffs on her to ramp up the damage

Or there could be

Add a tenacity buff for one turn to all allies whenever she uses lifeblood.
This can be dispelled, same with the crit immunity

Put Kylo how he was before because nothing was wrong with him. Make him immune to cooldown reduction when he's alone to stop the Gas+1 team, like you should have from the beginning. His buff was an overcorrection, and buffing Rey to keep up is more of the same.

@Mastersbgames Did you mean CAN'T be dispelled? Because hux dispel is what makes the current crit immunity worthless. Yes if someone is silly enough to run Kylo without hux is much easier to counter by a lot of teams. His crit immunity built into his kit since his first touchup/rework does still stop a lot of counters.

Also dispelling DOTs doesn't do anything, since often it's a vader lead team, and vader lead blocks DOTs from being dispelled. They just reappear.

What you propose would change nothing at all to slow the vader counter, and wouldn't help when fighting SLKR. In reality what we need is something like IPD or B2 for LS that does a dispel and blocks buffs to help counter SLKR by being able to dispel all the advantage/taunts, and block buffs so that the leadership can't reapply the advantage which renews the taunt. LS could also benefit from someone like Thrawn or Traya, or Wat. Simply put LS lacks most of the utility that DS has. You suffer with Rey when you put DS allies on the team since her leadership doesn't support or protect them. If they're not gonna fix rey herself, they need to QUICKLY release (and tell us about them even faster) LS characters with similar utility to Thrawn/Traya/Wat. If there was a LS version of any of those characters it would help greatly. A LS fracture/TM swap character would help us get around the taunt to get to SLKR before he can ramp up. A LS IPD/B2 that would mass dispel and apply buff immunity would do the same.

LS teams shouldn't have to resort to mixing 4 metas to make a semi-comperable team, and DEFINATELY shouldn't be relying on DS characters (Wat) to make the team work.

Needing wat (as we will after the 5s strat is nerfed) for the best version of the team isn't really a problem IMO. I'm fine with using 1 off-faction toon. (as most SLKs seem to do with Malak) The problem is Rey has no good way around a 2 taunt team and the team damage is insanely low. Low damage wouldn't be a problem if they were super tanky, but vs SLKR + red SIT even a 210k HP Rey doesn't provided enough survivability to keep people alive reliably.

She needs more damage, more tank, or both. It *might* be enough if they just stopped SLKR from gaining ult charge while in ult stance to prevent him from chaining ults or allowed Rey to gain ult charge in ult stance so that she also could chain ults.

You just compared using Malak on SLKR to using Wat... using Malak, a darkside character on a DS team is more like Rey using GS. Imagine if to have an effective SLKR team to counter Rey you needed Traya, GS, DR, and Malak, and the full FO team was totally useless.

I don't really have a problem with mixing light and dark side for PVP. The real problem with mixing is that Rey doesn't provide protection to DS toons, which makes them vastly weaker under Rey than I would prefer. Poe also can't inspire them, which is a problem.

Don't get me wrong, Rey is fuckin awful when compared to SLKR. Great kit that is just totally outmatched in every aspect of the game. She desperately needs to be tweaked.

Someone touched on Inspired granting 3 instances of crit immunity instead. I think that would be a rather elegant step in the right direction. They could just tweak rhP's zeta to that instead of the garbage it is now.

GLR teams would still be missing a reliable taunting tank. So maybe a small adjustment to Holdo/JTR or a tweak to GLR that enables the actual resistance tanks to be worth a damn on the new resistance team.

The fact that resistance has zero good taunting tanks while FO has two is pretty ridiculous.

But really I'm just laughing at everyone who complained about how bad Luke looked.

Then go start a new thread for that. I know plenty of GLR owners that wanted JKL pretty bad (raises hand) but had no chance for a 1st showing unlock.

Why did you have no chance?

Because I refused to spend my monthly car and mortgage payments on a mobile game.
