Gideon shouldn't (generally) be a defense character because of the way his AI works.

No duh. He could be if they fixed his ai. That’s the entire purpose of my post. There’s no reason to leave poor ai in place on a new character from Star Wars most popular new content. They don’t have DR lead with his basic ability or Dooku lead with his stun. It’s bad coding and easily fixable, end of story.

There's tons of toons that use questionable moves their first AI-controlled turn. Learn which ones are dumber than others and just don't set them on defence.

As a relic Gideon owner, I understand your pain. The same issue has existed with Starck ever since he came out where his AOE is prioritized over his buff special, which made IT on defense less than ideal.

imperial troopers are never a good idea on defense, with or without gideon, just use them on offense

I'll never understand the "don't use him on defense" type posts that come with so many legitimate complaints.

The OP isn't asking for recommendations on how to avoid the issue. He's requesting the issue be fixed. I'm not sure people realize how degrading it is to essentially just tell someone their issue isn't important.

But what if the design intent of the characters AI is for him to be used on offense and to not make him "too powerful" as his is only a marquee character.

I disagree with this, but that's not my point. You've given a reason for having an opinion that it shouldn't be changed, and that's fine. Thats healthy discussion. I don't believe everyone has to agree. But telling him to not use imperial troopers on defense, when he clearly knows that and it's the reason he's complaining, is just dismissive and sometimes hurtful, even if people aren't intending for it to be.

I understand.

It's not my opinion, that is a level of the design intent with this character.

And while it may not be done the "right way", some are just trying to talk a player through the issue they are having, as this is not a change that is going to be made.

Sorry op, your issue isn’t important. It is what it is

Don't worry guys, when the 5th imp remnant char is getting released and they wanna push the Gideon squad to become truly viable and contest other meta squads they will fix Gideons AI as it's no longer WAI.

The AI using characters in a non-optimal way is probably intended for balancing reason as already stated. This is making his complaint absolutely viable as he doesn't agree with it. In the end this is more of a feedback and i suggest moving the thread.

Nowhere in the post is he saying / asking for that.

His post came across as more of a complaint about it happening, not questioning the AI choice, but that may be because I read the forums regularly and remember when this was discussed early on with Gideon.

I’m requesting CG to fix it. I thought that was obvious. They release AI tweaks regularly, especially on popular new content. I didn’t know whether this was always a problem or had changed recently or whether it was discussed in the community previously or not as there was nothing on the front forum pages about it.
