Because then you have yourself a damn, dull, boring cookie cutter builds which would destroy the game. Imagine a game where all dps heros were the same. If every hero were equal, trust me, this game will not make it past its first year as there would be no reason for people to acquire "elite" heroes.
I couldn't disagree more...the way it is now it's already down to the "dull boring cookie cutter" builds. FOTP, Poe, Leia, QGJ (P2P), OR Sid, Lumi, Dooku (F2P) sound familiar? ANYTIME you have an obvious unbalanced hero then thats the one to get, thats the one EVERYONE gets and needs to succeed. Balance overall should be their MAIN objective here...premium and free heroes alike. It already gets boring seeing the same old thing over and over. You know I've never seen a Lobot...EVER in game besides the missions. Or a Teebo, or a resistance trooper, ect. ect. I wonder why that is? Because they aren't balanced with the "elite" heroes.
You know how games like LoL or other RPGs survive? Balance, selection, EVERYTHING is viable somehow. Sure, give P2P players exclusives...I don't think anyone cares. You pay the money, you get to use Old Ben and have fun with that...the majority of players won't get to, but he won't be game breaking or give any kind of significant advantage. When games start going that way they fail. I use LoL as an example because I have the most experience with that game (yeah it's console, but also a F2P). Why do you think the game is huge? National tournaments, a real PVP following, ect. ect. Because the viability of champions. Characters like Ewok Scout should be no less viable than say FoTP or QGJ in the right setup or else whats the point?
Believe me if they release some shard exclusive hero like Yoda and he is some overpowered hero it will be a huge misstep for CG and will further this cookie cutter situation we are in right now with Poe, ect. ect.
