Only a few days ago I would get consistent 5k crits on him but now he barely crits at all and when he does it barely does more damage than the usual attacks. Yesterday I was using him and a crit with the offence-up did less than a normal without offence-up.Before any of you ask, I'm using the exact same team-comp with the same leader (HK) and against the same enemies.

Even I have noticed that my QGJ is not one shooting Darth Maul like he use to easily and personally I like it that way. I hope they keep up the great work It's my opinion that devs should always tell the player-base when they re-balance things. It's kinda important to know if your entire main team just got nerfed and a bunch of your other characters got buffed.

This isn't just a sudden change of luck, he's just getting way less crits and they're less effective.

Trust me, I know about unforgiving communities. I've been a League of Legends player for 4 years now. But no matter how nasty the community gets, it's still best to explain what you're doing.

So much goes into damage stats. Leader bonuses, enemy leader bonuses, buffs, debuts, defense, armor penetration etc. I'm not saying that it isn't happening, but unless you are fighting the exact same fight, it just might be the level of the enemy or other things that make it look like less damage. It might even be a defense buff as I'm one shot killing far less toons with any of my assist callers lately.

When I started noticing it I did a couple tests. Same cantina battle, same comp, same enemies, less damage. I tried it over a few times and got pretty much the same results. The only difference between when I did the same cantina battle a couple weeks ago is that my HK is a higher gear level and a higher over-all level.

I just went through a gw battle and he hit for about 1800 standard damage the first round and exactly 3000 the second time. I'll try on the next node and report back.

That's not his normal damage. Maybe they are about to give him a taunt lol

Maybe they're trying to make him similar to the new HK in SW:TOR by making him a bodyguard.

Well that definitely leans towards something going on. I'll have to see if that affects my 86 like others have said. I've been hoping they would do something about defense and armor so maybe just maybe it's a buff to those stats and not a silent 'bad word' to just a few toons
