Speed madness
By now everyone is used to the idea that only (mostly?) speed matters.
Still the creators manage to surprise us with this stuff.
Does anyone know on which alternate reality of Star Wars this game is based?
I simply do not understand why R2 is one of the fastest toons in the game while e.g. both Ahsoka Tano and Darth Maul should re-think their career choices; quick they are not. Have the devs even seen the movies?
Can't wait for C3PO, the fastest being in the universe!
It's sad to have painted yourself to a corner, when the only way to make a toon interesting is to give them speed over others.
Would we see R2 everywhere if its base speed was 95?
(And yes I do have a 7* R2 soon at glvl 10 with one third of the mods in place, I simply find it amusing that the third most slowest .. being? in the saga is one of the fastest in the game

I would disagree about the ewoks being slower (although that may depend on terrain). C3PO is definitely slower. Gonk droid is probably the #1 slowest though.
The game isn't canon. Why do so many people struggle to grasp that incredibly basic concept?
Leia, Nute, HR Scout, all too fast.
Then Maul, Asajj, Ashoka, Grevious, all too slow.
And that is a weak argument.
My point is that once again the devs managed to create an over the top character by not only giving R2 synergy with practically everyone but also by making it one of the fastest toons in the game.
Okay, I'll bite.
I put mods worth +100 to Maul and mods worth +50 to R2. Now they have equal speeds.
I know, let's switch the mods, as I have the power. Now R2 has 100 more speed than Maul.
Can't wait for adult Ahsoka. The teenager got what, 99, because she's quick and gives lots of evasion, so it only makes sense for the adult to have 150 base speed.
These choices are nobrainers.
Disagree.
According to Fast and the Furious 15, it's spelled Ludacris.

There must be another way for the devs to make a toon appealing to use. They started by having synergy between the toons, then apparently forgot the lesson of Chaze by giving us R2.
Baseline for speed is no longer around 100 but it's much higher. Chopper has a speed around 150 at glvl 7, the assassin droids have 120 at glvl 11. There's no explanation to this other than speed creep: A slow toon will not sell.
I understand that the game must evolve for people to keep playing but by concentrating on the speed they are limiting their options in the future.
Color me surprised if the adult Ahsoka didn't turn up having her speed at QGJ/JKA level or even as quick as Yoda.
What about story where grandmaster of jedi is able to kill OHKO by triple shot from rebel pilot? lol
One of those pilots is famous for flying up to the Death Star and getting his ship blown up also...
Yeah I did not really like how they changed the appearance of General Grievous, not in this game, in general. In the very first Clone Wars movie ( not the one which was followed by the TV series) he was an absolute beast, and then they changed him into a total coward.
My sharing of that comment was, don't expect lore to drive this game. Yes there is some with ability names and factions but that is about it. There is so many things in this game that are now where near lore/canon and the dev's have told us it is not supposed to be.
Sadly the two things that can destroy a good character kit is lack of health and lack of speed. Look at Krennic and Deathtrooper if you look at the kits (abilities) only they seem excellent. You then go to use them and they are horrid. Krennic lacks speed and health, Death trooper is not as bad because he gets the Speed up because of his unique TM gain. This is a turn based game and the more turns/actions you make the better you are going to do. Now do they all need super speed stat? No because there are other things that can help that out, by giving them TM gain or out of turn action. Look at Baze, currently the slowest character in the game, his counter attacks from retribution and chirruit unique and his TM gain from unique help he perform more actions making up for his lack of speed.
Lead abilities like Rex or maul also help slower characters make up for the lack of speed.
On the other side of that just because a character is fast doesn't mean they are the "best"
TFP, Dooku, Leia, Rey, Jyn, Zam, Sid, R2, Yoda, nute are the top 10 base speed characters in the game yet how many teams do you see with leia, Zam, or nute do you see? Even Rey, and Jyn are not used that much.
Even before mods speed was king even with mods speed is still king. IMO mods should have had a negative effect on stats to offset the positive, Speed goes up then offense goes down or something like that.
I would love to start seeing speed reduction lead abilities. However it seems in this game Seems the dev's perfer character boosting leads over character stat reducing.
Hopefully they come up with something but speed will stay king most likely.
Your proposal that e.g. speed offsets offense is a good one, I thought they normalized speed vs damage in the past but it didn't work out at all.
Btw, I wasn't so much off here, adult Ahsoka has 148 speed max geared.
