Phoenix squad

Why didn't you give the new toons a Phoenix tag only, instead of Phoenix and Rebels? You wouldn't have half the forum up in arms about too many Rebels, and rebels are OP. Simple fix, why you gotta overthink things CG?

i was amazed by this decision aswell. When i saw the phoenix tag before the characters were released i thought that would be their only tag.

disappointed..

Not having the tag would really just be a distinction without a difference though. With the possible exception of Sabine under a Wedge lead none of them really fit a non-Phoenix Rebel leader well enough displace established comps it seems. And none of the non-Phoenix Rebels benefit from their lead at all.

Because they are rebels?

There are to many Rebels though, and should be a faction on their own

I think it's mostly because they shouldnt mesh well with other rebels or they might be too OP. Obsviously the only way to find out is testing it but i won't have the character geared in time to test it.

The show is called Rebels. They are Rebels. They were one of the groups that Mon Mothma united to build the Alliance. Why shouldn't they have the tag?

i figured since resistance members aren't rebels, phoenix members wouldn't be either. I'm not a starwars fan, so shoot me

The resistance was a whole other thing though. Different time periods, different people (with the exception of Leia obviously). They weren't rebelling against anything because the First Order doesn't have any legitimate political hold on the galaxy like the Empire did. They're just resisting the first orders efforts to take over.

Because Phoenix was designed to work really well together but not be anything special on their own there's minimal impact to be had mechanically from giving them the tag, so I'm sure the thought process was to do it so they fit thematically and canonically.

Well, they didn't introduce any new Sith or Nightsisters in Rebels...and Kanan and Ezra are both Jedi as well.
We also got 3 new Sith last month, that's quite impressive considering how few Sith there are (in canon). I mean, they had to reach into KOTOR to be able to use the tag. People are posting "nerf Dooku" and "nerf Maul" threads daily.

People are also posting no more Rebels daily and the occasional nerf wiggs still
