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.

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.

That's absolute crap and if he is level 70 with max gear that is nonsense. He should hit for more

He could hit for more. Crits run a variance and that's within tolerances. That's just an example on the lower end of it.

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.

They were never even but hk47 did about 5k with offense up. I86 Does about 7k with offend up main attack..crit

I've seen Anakin, who has higher basic damage than HK, with offense up, crit for close to what's showing in the screenshot. This isn't unusual.

In the arena less than 5 minutes ago, I just had HK-47 (leader) with offense up hit me with a crit for 4.7k.

Well you guys do know that if IG88 (is that the one?) uses his assist and the assisted droid is HK, they both get a dmg boost.

Also your HK doesn't seem maxed (rank and gearwise) so how can we compare this to a maxed out HK?

But I really think you are remembering an assisted attack with increased dmg (isn't it 75% if both attackers are droids?)

I never compared him to a maxed out one, i compared him to himself. Also, im pretty sure it wasnt just IG assisting him, cause the closest ive got with HK on a crit from an IG shot is 4.4k.

It's 86, not 88, but you're correct, they both get +75% crit damage.

I haven't noticed a drop in damage for my HK.
I feel like a kind of stealth nerf paranoia is spreading around here.
I'm pretty sure I could start a random thread saying X character has lost damage and people would agree with me even though I just made it up.

As I understand it, the OP is concerned that HK got nerfed because he is not criting for 5k with offense up.

As I said, I was just hit for 4.7k (it was a little over that) while he was the leader of a droid group while he had offense up. This occurred in the arena about 4 hours ago.

Is that not close enough to 5k to address the OP'S concerns?
