Stat Transparency
Is it possible for us to get a bit more clarity on all the game numbers in the future? As far as official sources go, there's next to no information about the entire character stat sheet. Some of it can be found on external sites, but that's really not ideal either.
Primary Attribute - adds Physical Damage. Not made very clear but going through different characters will show different stats adding physical damage on the stats screen.
Health and Protection - OK easy enough
Speed - Could be clearer. Determines the rate at which a character gets to take a turn is "accurate" but doesn't necessarily convey it is both determining who goes first and how rapidly a character acts.
Physical and Special Damage - These are awful. The actual number has almost no bearing on the damage a character does because every attack has a hidden multiplier. Very misleading.
Physical and Special Critical rating - ... the numbers, they mean nothing. And the two types seem to operate on a different scale. Maybe? Who can tell.
Armor and Resistance - Reduces damage taken from damage type. Does not say by how much.
Penetration - Nothing wrong here, flat reduction. Yay!
Dodge and Deflection - completely inaccurate. Every character lists 0, every character is not 0.
Potency and Tenacity - Well, at least these are percentages, but still pretty awkward to evaluate.
Health Steal - Stat missing entirely.
Help us devs, you're our only hope.

+1 Couldn't agree more. Such a fundamental part of the game and clouded in mystery.
Ackbar at max rank has a 1.745x multiplier on his basic attack, Rey has a 2.21x multiplier on her basic (and a 4.09x multiplier on her special). These hidden multipliers make the listed damage ratings for both physical and special incredibly misleading.
Kylo Ren has a huge listed physical damage rating, but his multiplier is 1.038x, giving him one of the weakest attacks. His basic hits for just slightly more than Barriss while his list physical damage is the 14th highest in the game.
1. What is the new armor/resistance formula after the change to armor in the protection patch?
2. How is physical/special crit rating converted into critical hit chance?
3. What is the formula that potency and tenacity are used in to calculate the chance to resist an effect?
4. The deflection and dodge ratings show as zero for every character in game, but characters are capable of dodging without evasion team leaders. What is the innate chance to evade?
5. Are deflection and dodge affected by other stats, such as agility?
6. Are the deflection and dodge ratings really zero? Or is this a display bug.
@EA_Jesse ?
But I'd love to see dodge and deflection stats, and the critical ratings converted to %chance. And while they're at it, cooldown and damage/heal stats in the abilities would be great too.
I think that level difference factors in as well. Either way, it should be simple for the devs to just tell us how it works.
If level difference does play a role, even if the stat reported assumes a hero of equal level, I'd be happy. Like 12.1% critical chance for your L70 hero vs. another L70, instead of 467. You know it'll be lower for attacking higher-level heroes and higher when attacking lower-level heroes, but at least it gives you some sort of basis to work with.
Edit: clarification.
Almost all of the stats are completely unintelligible or even outright misleading. Another damage comparison: Maxed out. Kylo Ren has a listed (physical) damage rating of 2355 and Rey has 2349. This would lead a player to believe Kylo does slightly more damage than Rey, but with the hidden multipliers...
Kylo does about 2400 damage on his basic, 2600 on Lash Out, and 5000 (8000 with low hp buff) on Outrage
Rey does 5000 damage on her basic, 10,000 on Leverage and 8000 + 2000 to 6000 on Flurry.
Rey does twice Kylo's Damage or more despite having nearly identical visible damage ratings.
6 months of neglect proves it is intentional.
If this thread goes unanswered another week, I will call Apple and ask for a refund of all 1500$.
Its called fraud, and its illegal.
please elaborate on it being fraude and illegal, i will probably enjoy reading that
Intent makes it fraudulent.
However, that's not official.
