Just curious as to what y'all think the dark side answer for CLS will be? I'm not saying I want it now, maybe 6 months or so down the line ish, but what characters are left to combat Luke now?

Forget it. Bias to Rebels is absurd and completely out of control.

Maybe this new guy from sequels.. Snoke or whatever his name is.xD

We don't even try CLS yet, just give it time. There always counter one another.

Maybe FO has a chance after EP8, but Resistance and Rebels will likely dominate then.

You don't need a darkside specific counter to this character. This isnt WOW. They don't need to balance the factions, because aside from a few weirdo's who only play one side, EVERYONE is a light side/dark side player.

The Star Wars everyone loves is Empire vs. Rebellion. Sure, the prequels and sequel trilogy have their fans, but the mass appeal is in the original trilogy. The sooner you guys accept it, the better.

Commander Luke is the "first" character with 3 zetas and 6 abilities but he won't be the only. Power creep. I'm guessing Revan, Snoke, TLJ Luke etc will also be equally powerful

This. I believe that they have opened the door to allow powerful toons such as Revan, possibly a different Vader as well, into the game. The possibilities could be amazing

I don't see how we could get a different Vader. JKA is the one from Ep3, already under influence of the Dark Side (Jedi, yes, but inflicting Healing Immunity does not "feel Light Side"), and there is very little time between his full conversion to Sith and the moment he becomes the "classic" Darth Vader.

The Rebels Vader "skin" that was modelled after the classic Ralph McQuarrie drawings would be a possibility ... for sure not a popular one for some, but still a possibility ^^

I hope they just rework Vader. Every empire toon got some love (unless they were already good or really new) except Vader. He's the icon of Star Wars and only has 4 abilities. Plus all the advertisements seem to emphasize Luke vs Vader, but Luke seems like he'll be awesome, and Vader is only a 2nd rate toon and leader.

There's Thrawn and uh...Thrawn?

This all day. Thrawn is arena meta, breaks the rancor, and makes p3 of haat soloable or at least ups damage by a huge margin.

The whole "rebel bias" thing is a little ridiculous, as the light side/dark side balance is doing alright. Rebels are good, sith/empire have a few in each faction that are good, and Jedi are garbage. The rest of the factions are small and 5-6 toons or less, varying from faction to faction.

What more do the darkside fanbois want?

a wider variety. There are many imperial characters not yet in the game and I have the feeling that for every new imperial they release two more rebels a few days after :#. Sure, I am biased and I really enjoy farming the "few" imperial characters we have, but I hope there will be more in the future and some kind of balance. We had to wait until Thrawn to get a cleanser. Now I wish for a good debuffing character and hope for a speedy Iden Versio that could open the match and debuff a taunt.

Important is that we discuss in a civil way and not throw hateful stuff at each other.

Everybody knows I'm a big fan of the empire but what Luke's leadership ability does to rebels is unheard of. The only ways I can see the Darkside every coming back are.

A) palpatine gets two ridiculous zeta.

B) they release Darkside Anakin. And he becomes hellish under zaul zEP lead.

C) They do a complete rework of Vader.

Anything else and the Darkside is toast. Even jango or Jabba couldn't pull something together. So many great Darkside toons became worthless because you can't AOE vs rebels. Every good empire toon has an AOE except Thrawn.

It's just what Luke can do. I was hoping for him to be op enough to want to switch to a OT rebels crew but they went too far. Ahsoka and r-2 with 50 percent counter? If you thought there were nerf Chaze threads everywhere wait until you see Luke.

I don't like hiding things before it's actually out but I gotta agree, darkside just got the boost it needed from thrawn only to be kitten out by the incoming luke, but now what kind of iconic Heros can change the tide from this that darkside has? The options you said pretty much are the options unless they make one of the factions even more op upon rework
