Jedi and Sith: Blaster Deflection
So, would anyone like to see this implemented at all? I mean, in all sources, both parties were pretty awesome at deflecting the lasers (not all. That pterodactyl Jedi Master got messed up by Jango, s...

@Tuscan21 @Barrok Hahaha. All right, I give. Kylo Ren can deflect blasters, just not angry wookies with bowcastors.
@fungushnitzel All right. So, it might make them too OP you think? Any way to make it less so? Ima Gun give 35% counter chance, and +25% counter damage at rank 8 of his leader. Aayla and Dooku have counters with bonus damage. And they counter all damage sources, not just blasters (and I'm not trying to be offensive or anything. Just discussing). But those all require the character to take the damage before giving any back. Evasion leaders just allow heroes to outright dodge the damage, and often give a buff or bonus for doing so. On the other side, Phasma's leader gives an assist chance to all allies, just allowing for bonus attacks if lucky.
The way I'm seeing it, a blaster deflect chance would be a small mix of them. For ex: FOTP shoots 2 or 3 times. 1st hits hero, 2nd deflected back at FOTP hitting him, 3rd again hits hero. Now, to compensate for the OP of the 'returnig fire' deflection, maybe a 50% damage reduction set in place? There are other heroes that use melee besides Jedi/Sith that would neither be able to or worry about a deflect happening (Rey, IG100, Nightsister something).
I feel like it would be a unique leader ability, like Ima Gun's leader or Phasma's. I'm not trying to make Jedi/Sith OP by any means. I really would like something like this to be able to work in game and not be OP. Blaster fire deflection has been a theme an ability of light saber wielders forever though, and it just makes sense. It could also help to reign in some of the 1 shotting that happens with blaster firing heroes though (I don't care, and have no opinion) that other people are upset about, heroes like Leia and FOTP.
