Over powered characters

Let's get this straight - Rey is not OP because she can't be beaten. Rey is OP because she can be used in almost any team regardless of synergy and does huge damage with excellent defence (i.e. instant foresight) before most other characters could possibly go.

That isn't to say she should be "nerfed" but when a toon is used in 4/5 teams there's a problem with the game balance. It's fine for her to be the powerhouse she is but she should rely on some form of synergy to do that, just like Leia is less useful without the right leader and jawa engineer or poggle are useless without a droid team.

Similarly there is an issue with QGJ being used in 3/4 of teams but not for quite the same reasons - he is simply the only really viable dispeller and taunters are currently prevalent, though some may say his assist with damage boost makes his overall kit too powerful and could do with being synergised too.

So let's be sensible about this instead of the same handful of forum ragers getting in a big argument and name calling - calling something OP is not the same as wanting to nerf it; it is more a statement about poor game balance and should be addressed, not argued into oblivion to be ignored.

Once again, frequency often has nothing to do with being OP. Most people are FTP, and don't have the money to expand teams and experiment. Resources being as difficult to get as they are. Additionally as I stated, people are lemmings. You could remove QGJ and Rey from the game, and guess what? Yep, everyone would still use the same toons. I disagree with your comments. And if you do synergism skills, guess what? Yep, people will just follow the leader. Unless every toon is EXACTLY the same,my here will always be meta (most effective team available), and people will follow the leader.

Keeping in mind that Rey is a long grind to max and QGJ is only in the slowest to earn shipment, people have gone through quite some effort to get those toons - that's a good sign that they are 'must have' because they are OP. Enforce synergy around the OP toons and people will have to choose between Rey and QGJ and RG or whoever else instead of just lumping together whatever the most powerful characters are in one big powerful team. It'd sure as heck quieten all the OP/nerf callers if you had to use Finn, Poe, RP and RT to have Rey so powerful.

So, let's stop with the trying to shut down discussion and have reasonable debate about what people complain about.
