Are the rumors that she is getting auto taunt data mined or are they just speculations?

    If she gets auto taunt its a yes but data mine isn't always a safe bet so I would just hoard currency until official news comes out

    She needs help that's for sure, I have 2 accounts and she is only used for the tank challenge, and I would drop her for any other tank.

    Could we have the source of the datamine? I'm pretty sure people were just hypothetically saying that she would be viable if she got an auto-taunt.

    From every discussion I read this was all hypothetical

    I don't have a source of data mine. I'm actually asking whether this was data mined or is it just a rumor?

    There is no link. It was a suggestion I made.

    Huge Jedi fan here, but she is my least favorite by far. I would farm someone else.

    Combat Upgrade pending means we wait and see.

    Such a waste, very farmable, great HP and abilities yet still not usable till now

    She gets super tanky but she's useless as is apart from the AoE with ability block but there are better choices out there.

    Actually an auto taunting Obi would be much better, given that when he is defeated he buffs the whole team

    That would be too much for a single character to bring to the table, sorry, it will never happen.

    Taking a leaf out of RG auto taunt success, it will be fun if she gets auto-taunt. Old Ben auto taunt will be too OP. Considering there is not taunter in Jedi, it will be cool.

    One of the worse toons in the game, would be a substantial buff. I wouldn't farm on hope, be my guess.

    He's not good for anything else except for his ability block when it decides to stick. I'd only use him regularly if he had a taunt. As of now he's an underpowered toon with a completely useless unique ability. He's designed to be the last man standing so it never gets used.

    I understand your point of view, but you have to understand that giving him an auto-taunt with his skillset will make him absurdly overpowered. In RG's case, he brings nothing to the table other than a bad stun and his taunt. Coupled with the fact he is hard to farm, it is understandable why he is the way he is. In conclusion, Old Ben is too easy to farm to give a buff of that prestige to.

    Pass the death stick man, what about when he was a chromium exclusive and was exactly the way he is now! Theres a reason why they allowed us F2P players get our hands on old Ben and that is due to whales saying how bad hes been underperforming. If you didn't notice no whale cried "Why are they giving Ben to the F2P?"
    Yoda completely destroyed Old Ben for the most part and even without Yoda after his special is used he is just a wet noodle sitting duck. Maybe a AUTO taunt is too much to ask for but at least a regular one would help him out alot

    I agree with everything you said except the part about RG's stun. It's not bad at all. It's pretty reliable at g8 with 70% potency. It rarely gets resisted.

    The thing is that he was chromium before Yoda existed, and whales typically had him because he was good. Now that the general public can farm him easily, what's the point of making him better than he was when he was exclusive.
    On your point of a regular taunt, perhaps it could work, but it would have to be a 1 turn taunt.

    He needs some sort of help. What's the point of his "if you strike me down" ability when it doesn't get used? I've had him for a while, currently at 6* just for the Yoda event, and I've yet to see him die first. Even at 6* his power level is over 5000 and for me he's useless in most situations.

    One turn sound fair to me because I do understand the fear to his unique ability and at least this would stall time enough for a heal on your squad.

    Sounds reasonable EA/CG I hope this is taken into consideration

    Ben's TM reduction is still very relevant, and being last to die ensures he gets it off.

    any tank thats given auto taunt will become meta, instantaneously. If Jedi Knight got auto taunt she would be second only to RG. Not sure if this will happen, Jedi Knight is easy to farm, if it does happen, FTP players will most likely all use her in arena.

    I thought one of the reasons RG had such good abilities like auto taunt was because he was difficult to farm. Giving Jedi Knight auto taunt is like placing QGJ in the cantina shipments.

    Hey guys - how about this for an Old Ben buff:

    Passive 2: Allies have a 30%(?) chance of gaining stealth for two turns whenever their health drops below 50%.

    Or something along the lines of that... His current passive may actually become useful if this was the case - forcing players to either risk ignoring him and giving stealth to high damage toons or taking him down and actually bringing his passive into play.

    He cant be first to die even if he is hit by Rey, GS, FOTP, Leia, and QGJ at the same time he has a insane amount of Hp thats why not even the AI targets him
