Is the Grievous/Separatists Rework Satisfactory?

As we all know by now, the Grievous rework is hot garbage, and the developer footage of the droids steamrolling revan teams is clearly not being realized. The only question now is whether or not this developer footage was a lie, or if this is all a mistake due to bugs. Either way we need answers. But, knowing who we’re dealing with, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we don’t receive one for some time, if at all. CG, just tell us what the heck is going on. We’ve lost some good revan counters in Finn and now Traya, so is Grievous intended as their heavily monetized replacement, or is he as he always was, a worthless toon locked behind a massive paywall?

    Grievous is no longer windu tier, so I'm semi satisfied, but yeah sorta disappointed. Still happy for the reworks and droideka though. Seperatists are in a better place than before


    Better than before?! After reworking 3 and releasing 2 new ones...that’s a very minimum expectation. And they nailed minimum on the head.


    I never said it wasn't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Idk how things are with you/your guild, but I just wanted seperatists to be decent at some part of the game. Don't particularly need/want them being arena viable or part of HSR teams or anything like that. I generally follow the philosophy of "grind what you want" a lot more than grinding what's meta. And I like droids ;)



    The issue is that's not what the videos of the reworked Separatist team was promoted as. That's why people are bothered by it. Look at the release of Bossk - that's how this should have been done. CG made it clear what Bossk was and was NOT supposed to be/do.

    This time, CG intentionally mislead the player base on GG and the Sep. rework. That's why people are frustrated.
  • I still wonder why those guys at YouTube are saying, that the team is such great in offense.

    I'm using GG on arena and I can sometimes beat Revan - that's completely rng dependant (no buff immunity on gk, cooldown on b2 not reduced, wrong char marked etc). I definitely can not beat Traya, and fighting CLS is a joke as it decimates GG like hell.

    I have 4 most important zetas and pretty decent mods.

    I would really like an explanation on how anyone thinks that it exceeds expectations or that it's great on offense. The frustration also comes with completely unusable leader abilities, of completely stupid and unexplainable skills, like killing light side droids, of not being able to use GG outside of separatists (cause he needs to kill droids to get better), like forced taunt on own droids, that's also unusable cause well Revan can still taunt anyone he wants to and the list continues.

    So while I'm playing him on arena, each fight I wonder how will my own leader screw my own team this time, or I watch how all my debuffs are constantly dispelled or dodged etc etc. Yeah fun indeed. But yet I still use him cause I've waited so long for this rework, and I trust that finally maybe some miracle will happen and maybe he will start winning one day. But being a realist I know it won't happen cause of course other people know better what players want from the game.

    Griffith's rework is stupid and ridiculous. Instead of using physical health to replace physical damage, there has never been a game like this! The ultimate goal of EA was reached, just let Griffith sell to the store, and found a good reason to sell it, including the video, haha, in fact, everyone has been fooled! Many players have already left, I want to say that the most important thing to leave is the planners of this game. The same nature and contradiction of various characters are all the time. Now what is the balance is not clear! It’s two words! ! !


    Marvel Future Fight uses max health to determine damage output for the character Victorious, so this is not the only time in gaming history this has ever happened.

    EACG HAS BEEN FULL OF S*** SINCE DAY ONE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A CONVERSATION


    Yep, and that’s why this game has lasted for 3 and a half years...
  • GG and the separatist droids is one of the best teams out there. I use it every time to kill the best FO teams and sometimes some really good BH teams.
  • This thread is from a while ago... I’ll change the name to match the discussion.
  • In my opinion they are a top team that is very strong and can certainly compete for top arena spots with little issue...

    This is of course considering a maxxed out droid team with all the gear and zetas that are equivalent to your opponents...

    Since the separatist droid rework I’ve been running them in arena and take #1 easily on a very old shard

    I use two variations depending on my opponent... but it’s an easy swap and still a straight up droid team... even using HK lead for one setup which everyone complained was now useless (it’s not)

    I think a lot of people just gave up on them with all the negativity surrounding their rework on the forums and failed to realize their potential.

    The droids might well be the best all around answer to the current meta and in my experience can most efficiently and easily beat the cliche teams that everyone else has gravitated towards

    The Bastilla rework had made zero difference in my ability to crush JKR teams... and DR teams are so stupidly easy to beat it’s almost ridiculous... I think the addition of Malak only made them easier to beat quite honestly...

    Being able to just click auto and decimate the other team in under 30 seconds is pretty silly for top 10 arena battles...



    The droids are good... really good...

    If you are willing to invest in them and realize their potential :)
