Undersized Squads on Def in GA?
So, with the rise of Darth Bane a question comes to my mind. Why can't we use undersized squads on Def like SEE + Bane on Defense? Bane's special abilities and omicrons are right here for that purpose!

- Probably because you get a banner for each enemy you kill - so if your opponent could set undersized defenses they could in theory rob you of banners by setting nothing but undersized squads on defense.
- It is strange to come out with a new character that benefits only using two characters yet you cant just set two on defense.
- Well, because some characters just are worse on defense. SEE is a prime example of a more offense heavy kit and since Bane is his lifter it totally makes sense for his kit to be tailored to offense.
And since undermanning attacks is a huge advantage in terms of banners, some characters just are more of a benefit on the attack, just like wampa.
I would never set my troopers on defense, they depend heavily on the right match ups and specific targeting of enemies, but they still are a very good team, even if they suck on defense. - You also can't put the solo Wampa on defense, so it's nothing new. Just the rule of the game.

Different situation, since those are RI not the starters. And while I'm sure they could make it work, and points wouldn't be an issue, you would just have people come here crying about how bad it is on defense because SEE can solo it.- Thats so bad excuse - You could get free kill from missing member.
Like "Set Bonus points to 5-" for 5vs5. Doesnt even have to count if team is full or not as for full that is just 0.
Someone might put 1 man on backrow as "none gets there" - but hey that would be cool anyway. "StarSon;c-2460785" wrote:

So it'd be no different than what we have now on the forums (complaints that they can't set on def), but then at least the player has agency in game."Ragnarok_COTF;c-2460787" wrote:

That, and whatever bugs CG introduces and the crying about those bugs."StarSon;c-2460788" wrote:

Very true. But that's a reason for CG to never do anything ;)
