Why is evasion so strong in this game?

There needs to be more unavoidable damage abiltys. As far as I know there is only 4 of them: teebo, general grevious(extremely hard to get) savage opress, and Cad bane (no one uses this guy)

Evasion isn't the problem, it's what is linked to the evasion that is. TM or offense up plus the Dodge is killer, though dooku is alot easier to deal with. The tm that Ben gives is making Rey zoom kill a team lol.

Evasion is by far the bigger problem not what comes with it.

Had to balance all those stuns somehow...

Perhaps the issue is that, as it works now, Dodge is a complete whiff on the part of the attacker, which I think should only be allowed in the case of a special ability like Foresight. For "normal" dodges, it would perhaps be better if a portion of the damage still went in, so the attack only suffered reduced effectiveness. A 50% damage reduction would probably be fair; characters would still definitely benefit from evasion, but attackers could still whittle away at them, and a defender in the red could still be KO'd after a successful dodge due to the sheer damage output.

::::Holds up his 6 star Cad Bane gained from getting him in so many freaking card pulls:::::

It's kinda because the defence AI gets a huge buff on abilities like dodge, resurrect, evasion, assist. But not on speed and crit. So if you don't wan't to drop 100 places you use a leader with dodge or evasion. It's sad but true...

If the AI only got the 15% dodge boost specified instead of something more around 40 then it becomes far less of a problem. I occasionally use Lumi lead for the raid and you can certainly tell the difference but my team doesn't dodge every other hit, that's how it should be.

Evasion is so powerful (and therefore so common) because it is impossible for the AI to stuff up.

Special Abilities - AI casts them at the wrong time or to the wrong heroes
High DPS - AI has poor target selection
High Speed - see high DPS

The AI simply cannot get passive evasion wrong. The offense up and TM gain (and passive heal for that matter) are just the icing on the cake. It's all those dodged UF, Swarms, Humbling Blows, stuns, ability blocks etc that really hurt.

and teebo's bring low (unavoidable special) can be dodged...

Ye best solution will be:

OB leader for jedi only
Dooku leader for Sith only

Like every other leadership ability in the game pretty much (Lumi has is same idea).
This will happen ofcourse but only after you completely geared Dooku and OB to G11 and spend real $ on him.

After that a sudden "fix" will appear saying this was always intended from the start. It's a "bug" and his description wasn't intended blabla.

My advice, don't spend on the 2 leaders that are in 80% of the teams which will get hit with the nerfbat (rightfully so).
