Nerf Bad Batch

There is no excuse for them full autoing every GL when they have GL Kenobi as their leader. GL Kenobi is nice and balanced with KAM and others. There is no good excuse for a team like the Bad Batch to have such an impact on the game that they literally become the hard META. There is even a clip out there of a G8 Bad Batch beating a Relic 8 Jedi Knight Revan.
Unless this is by design I suppose? Which in that case hello Scopely 2.0. Marvel Strike Force is going through this same stupid **** and its killing half its roster.

I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

Already got them. That does not change my opinion one bit. I'm not selfish enough to think their balanced if I have them when they clearly are not balanced.
I agree, that Kenobi and beating a GL with the Bad Batch while the player is making the moves is one thing. A near full banner victory of SLKR on full Auto is an entirely different topic. That said there is also a clip of them punching up from Gear 8 to take down a Relic 8 Jedi Knight Revan. I do not honestly see how that is working as intended either.
Without knowing the full lineup in any instance, it's hard to make any assessment.
More surviveability, as Relics always give some health and armor. Helps making sure he isnt turn 1 sniped by anything that isnt SLKR
IMO That is not a good metric to use. Too many modifiers in play there.
how would someone one-shot a r7 jkr? I mean, even a non-relic jkr has savior. I mean, I was kinda joking, but still seems like a massive waste to r8 revan
Moral of the story: Your overreacting. It's happened before and it has always ended well (Jedi Knight Revan even got a buff trough Bastilla Shan's new unique ability, and it still ended well). They don't need a nerf. GL Kenobi might need one thou, due to that interaction with Galactic Republics Tanks. But we'll see how that goes.
Nah, end of story happens when people admit they are wrong and used anecdotal and thus irrelevant examples to argue a status quo. But that doesn't happen, ever.
I'd also like to see the clip of the G8 BB beating a r8 JKR.
Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.
So a new team comes out in 6-8 months and makes Bad Batch look tame in comparison. What further damage does that do to the older parts of the roster? That is the power creep problem right there, especially for non whales because they take a great deal longer to get people farmed and relic'd. And by the time they do, with a power creep problem, the characters are already not nearly as viable as they were when they started the farm to begin with. See the issue here? I get that people have just come to accept it like some sort of Stockholm Syndrome. However there is no issue with people pointing out that it is a flaw within the game. If people are shamed for pointing out flaws within the game then who is really to blame for the game getting in worse shape? The Devs or the Player base who makes excuses for them?
I’m not making excuses for CG; I agree with most of the things that you just said. But part of what you’ve said is overreacting, and a bit of an exaggeration.
Oh, and still waiting for the video
Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.
Power creep is an integral part of their business model. So it isn't going to change.
If new characters were lackluster and easily beaten by old characters, there's no incentive for whales to buy the new shiny.
They have at least mitigated this with GLs but even there, I look for there to eventually be some power creep. We aren't going to keep getting GLs forever that SLKR will be able to keep up with in arena. If they did that, there'd be no reason to ever farm the new shiny.
Only games with no powercreeps are games without a multiplayer function, so good luck searching for it.
My friend, you may want to consider the context of this post.
Then we could discuss Parity in the parroty thread....or even make a parody of it (which, ironically, you kinda just did).

What imbalance? They are finding their place in the general rankings of all teams/characters, some are better than others, they fall in the line somewhere.
Characters being strong at lower stars/gear can happen, but they also seem to stay in roughly the same area as they go to fully developed.
Or Nest against TM reduction teams.
Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.
Can you at least give some specifics?
Which teams can they beat 9 or 10 levels lower than? And what do you mean by levels?
You seem quite resolute on something that you’ve been unable to provide any explanation for.
"9 or 10 levels lower" shows that you are not in a decent position to be making calls about what teams are strong or not.
To even start comparing teams ability they need to be max level, the same gear level, and have comparable mods.
Realistic comparison only really starts at g13 where final gear stat boosts are in place and mods have full effect, 6 dot mods can be fitted, all abilities are maxed on both sides etc.
I thought the recent GC where bad batch were the enemy was ridiculously easy, and I could have earned max crate with almost any empire team comp. I tried it 3 different ways for fun. I actually thought they had stumbled a bit in making their new shinies not look so good.
So they might be trouble for the teams you currently have, but they are far from being the biggest unbalancing this game has ever seen. Or any unbalance at all as far as I can see.
