My Empire State of Mind
I have been invested in Imperials essentially since I first unlocked Vader, and except for the weeks following the release of Palpatine, Empire has mostly struggled to achieve dominance, particularly in the face of Rebel superteams.
I have a few (nonspecific) suggestions for Empire reworks and additions to help combat this.
First and most importantly: RELEASE KRENNIC AND DEATHTROOPER. It's completely absurd that the entire Rogue One team has been released AS WELL AS a basic SRP and an ugly, discount Chewbacca who had 10 seconds of screen time in the movie while the Empire has gotten only two stock toons. Everyone agrees that the Rebels are the most overpowered faction in the game, and it's about time that the Empire receives some help. Krennic and Deathtrooper would make fantastic additions to this game and would have potential to be the Empire's own power duo to counter Chaze, Wiggs, and CasSo. Please add these toons, we forumites have requested this frequently in the last month.
Another idea would be to rework Veers and Snowtrooper and convert them into a powerduo. Veers is most well known in SW for his command of the assault on Hoth, which is also the only time we see Snowtroopers (in canon). These two are clear choices for reworks since they are both underpowered and underused.
Magmatrooper - aside from drastically increasing his damage, he should apply some sort of debuff (maybe dots on his basic?) so he could gain a greater advantage from a palp lead. He should also have the cooldown of his special reduced to 2 turns so he can use it every other turn. That would make him an actual threat.
Stormtrooper - oh where do I begin? Stormtrooper is among the worst toons in this game. His basic is fine conceptually, but he needs so much more from his other abilities. If he is to remain a tank. He needs his health and protection numbers to be MASSIVELY increased, and his UA needs to give him remarkable advantages from being paired with Empire allies. The defense increases are negligible, and defense is a near worthless stat to begin with. As with Magmatrooper, I am of the opinion that ST should apply a debuff. The Empire synergies are based upon controlling their enemies with debuffs like ability block, stun, shock, DOT, speed down, offense down, and tm reduction. Stormtrooper should contribute to this synergy by applying another debuff (daze, health down, healing immunity: I don't really care).
These are the most important internal issues (IMO) facing the Empire faction in this game. Discuss below!
