I see people complaining about others calling for nerfs all the time. But the truth is, no matter how balanced the game is nerfs will never stop. Nerfs mix up the meta. The absolute worst thing that can happen in a game like this is for the developers to not change up the meta. Sure, people love to have the top team, but after the same team wins consistently for more than a month or two, even the people that have that top team get bored. And when people get bored, they stop spending money. So yeah, the game is relatively balanced right now. But with the next update, the meta will change. A changing meta keeps the game interesting for top players, who also happen to be the top spenders. The nerfs will never stop, and if they do it means CG has given up on this game.

Nonsense 30 more levels and ability increase change the meta.

Nerfs and buffs are necessary. Blizzard owns one of the most competitive pvp mmo and they nerf and buff classes every month at least. When a hero is much better than the majority of heroes in game, then he needs a nerf. If a hero underperforms when compared to the majority of heroes then he needs a buff. Simple as that. But to judge who does what, it's up to CG. They have the data to know these things better than anyone.

My logic was that the character wasn't as good as GS, was buffed, and post-buff was better than GS. My bad.

I am disappoint. I was expecting a gif with a train plowing through the roster.

The nerf train is never gonna stop

There are many ways to change the meta. Introduction of new characters, adjustments of old characters, etc. But the most crucial thing they need to adjust right now is the balance between attack, speed, and defense.

Each character should be evaluated base on damage, utility, speed and survivability. They should be balanced among the four categories (Aayla), Higher in 2 and lower in the rest (Old Ben), Excel on one and low on the others (FOTP)

The best example of "OP" character right now is GS, who is fast, deadly, and hard to kill. It'd be hard for people not to want him nerfed when he's top of the chart on damage, speed, and survivability.

Yeah, nerf him!

I think the royal guard is a great win for the Dev team. Took a useless character, made him gold. No change to the fact he only had 2 nodes. progressive Buffs keep the game alive!! Shakes up arena. Too bad he is months away from viable for me personally.

(To the music of Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train)

All aboard! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of players battling as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to nerf
And forget how to play

Arena wounds not healing
SWGOH is a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a nerf train

Anyone considers replacing GS with FoTP on their team?

Don't Nerf GS. He's my favorite :(

I don't understand how an unnamed bug can be someone's favourite character.

"See that guy over there in the background. Hold on, let me pause it . . . There! Did you see him? He's my favourite character."

Obviously I'm being facetious, but have some class bro.

I never watched the star wars movies except the latest one. I seen all the fights on YouTube though.

I loved kotor1/2, TOR and that's basically where my star wars fan comes from. I did watch clone wars though the 3D tv show.

I find the lore of the games deeper and richer than that of the movies.

So maybe that's why I don't share everyone's love for Leia, Chewbacca etc etc.

But I like GS, he looks cool, he's gun sounds awesome when it shoots. He also does a ton of damage. I remember getting wrecked by geonosian spy combo attacks when I first played GOH and I see them as fierce.

You gotta fix that ASAP. Watch all of the movies in the correct order. 456123.

I don't think there is a correct order about those two trilogies. If you gonna watch prequels first, they will ruin the "I am your father" plot. If you watch the originals first, then you'll know that Obi Wan isn't gonna die on any fight he gets into, because he is alive on IV. Also you can predict the outcome of every fight that has yoda and palpatine.
The original trilogy is way to old for 2016 standards. It doesn't have the same feeling when you watch it now with watching it back when it got released.

I knew I liked you for a reason. This is the order we made my now 10 year old watch them...so he would learn the ways of the force like his father before him. 456123. Preach it brother!
