Royal Goodness!!!
Poe is DONE! RG will be the new king of taunt. I faced a team with RG with his 25% chance to taunt and lose the match because of his 18k hp. I can't imagine what will happen with a guarantee taunt at below 50% hp for all allies. His 18k hp will be the down fall of most teams.

(Insert something here about ignoring history and repeating it.)
I was thinking along similar lines. He has not even been updated yet and is already becoming all the "rage" by Friday the Nerf threads will start.
How long did Poe run rampant until they nerfed him? I've been playing CG games for a few years now. They never do anything by accident. They remind me of this show called Columbo. The show was about a cop who appeared to be clueless but, was the total opposite. They never real fix meta issue they just introduce characters that bring balance to what ever op character is dominating atm.
Can his taunt happen in the middle of an assist attack?
Yes, but it doesn't change the assist target.
So the original target still gets hit twice?
Well the assasinated Poe ruthlessly, confused everyone in the process, discarded all the suggestuons by well know pro player, did silent changes, and ended up with a combined total of 9 stats changes completely and uterly destroying about $170-350 in terms of equivalent Crystal refreshes for anyone that 7*.
"They just introduce nee chars" would have been fair. But no, here's an analogy:
You invite people to your restaurant for a free sampler, then make the waiters take 4 hours to serve, the clients start ordering paid items as they see thise are actually marching...many order the meaty lasagna, which is much better than the frozen spagetti...but as they realize the nutricional content may be to high for the buck, they then force each customer that ordered lasagna to drink heavy salty warm water until the vomit all of it...hey, it's our restaurant...be content and irder thee frozen spagetti ...or maybe try the lamb shawarma? (Risky bet...as it's tasty).
So they have acted different than in other games for sure.
The best attacker in the game is a computer generated flying bug. The best tank in the game will be a toon that had 30 seconds of screen time in RotJ. Next up will be a new Gamorrean healer introduced that has Barris level equalization and a lumi strength heal.
Lol @ Columbo.
They did a spin-off series called Mrs. Columbo that starred Kate Mulgrew, you know, the woman who later was handed the keys to a brand new starship and got lost on her first trip.
Lol @Jabberwocky
That reminded me of this meme I had laying around.
On my board I'm in rank 51-100 not many teams are putting out that kind of damage. So, a RG with 18k hp will give most teams the advantage. I could easily see this like fighting Daka teams. Daka teams are a pain to fight if the RNG is not in your favor.
He intercepts assists, counters and bonus attacks. Not sure if he will be of any use but his speed is relative. Also not sure what happens if he taunts just before taking a turn...does this end his taunt? If so, he might just taunt and not even help team avoid even one shot. He also gains TM which further reduces his taunt term.
Poe sucks....even Han is 37x better now. The most anoying team faced in GW yesterday had Han, Talia, Phasma, Daka and Sid. Maybe the AI proc was supercharged. Would revive anyone 2-3 times. Enemy would get 3 shots for every 1 I took...for two rounds.
When I face a team with Poe I now smile
This is the most likeliness of scenarios. Everyone is going to cry nerf soon enough. Not allowed to have good tanks in this game.
