As someone who runs EP in the arena right now (in a December 15 shard), I really hope the hint was for upgrades (probably using zetas) and not a complete rework. His kit, even as is, is one of the best ones in play. Great damage, amazing control, and one of the best leader abilities out there. I've made some videos of my team (EP Thrawn Krennic DT Shore) vs. several teams in the current Meta, check it out:1) CLS + Nihilushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh4hIssl9xQ&t=3s2) Talzin + GKhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6rrXE6AvEU3) GK + Barrishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEpQao7T-Hc&t=4s4) Talzin + NS Spirithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8w6eBHtKwc&t=3s5) AA + Hermit Yodahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVTWQZ8sGCQ&t=4s6) Titans:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuqnQCQDrCs&t=3s7) JT Rey:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWq5agUX_Go&t=3shttps://swgoh.gg/u/giladgood/

he's garbage and no one runs him now (until the hopeful rework, but ok

Every time they announce a rework someone walks in and says exactly the same as you do. Up to now I have yet to see any of those individuals complain after the rework. Calm down, if he gets a rework it won't be an overhaul, just an upgrade

I don't think he'll be worse after a potential rework, or that much different.

He definitely can use a bump - for a long time now you can form a team that beats all metas with that Empire core 4 of DT/DK/Thrawn and Shore +1...EP is usable and can be very dangerous in the right setup, but he's also very replaceable and overall not particularly special. Agree his base kit is great, but he could use some love to get back in the upper portion of the game.

I'm hoping for a zeta on his unique adding 25% damage and speed down(or defense down) to his passive damage.

I'm also hoping that Vader gets a boost that in some way synergises with Palpatine.

It's really the other four great Empire toons that's keeping your emperor viable though, switch to Thrawn lead then you'll hold much better on defense. Also tenacity up teams would ruin his lead which entirely depends on debuffs sticking.

Vader is an achievement and EP is a legendary.

I don’t think CG will let those two characters slide very far out of the power creep without a readjustment of some kind.
