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.

I woldnt even bother using him in if his leader ability was so beneficial to Droids.As I said, literally only days ago I'd get 5k crits with him every other attack and his non-crits would do at least 3k. 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.

I just borrowed him for the training droid challenge this morning and did 4600 on crit constantly (maxed out)

My HK isn't max gear, level or stars and he used to do more than that.

Screenshot. HK has always sucked outside of being a droid leader. I haven't noticed any change in his performance.

What do you want me to screenshot? The damage or his stats or...?

That looks about right. He's always been a pretty bad toon. He is only worthwhile as a droid leader or as an Old Ben Lite vs Jedi.

It was only a couple weeks ago that I was having him compete with IG-86 in terms of who did more damage. They were pretty damn even up until recently.

I think you're misremembering. IG86 has always blown HK out of the water in terms of damage.

HK-47 being compared damage-wise to one of the two actual (functionally) assassin droids is pretty funny. Just like Barriss has always been a power hitter to rival Luminara. :D

Nah, I very specifically remember IG did just over 5000, then HK did 5100-something and then Maul got mega-lucky and did around 10 more than HK, then IG recently did 6K and the competition pretty much ended on that.
