    Stop asking for nerfs on toons just because you have a tough time taking them down. instead work on your own squad and develop a strategy.

    Vadim. Don't ask Big Brother to take what others have worked and in many cases paid $$$ to build into Five's. Build your own Five's for "balance".

    He is slow and doesn't matter till the end. He is like play 4 vs 5 until the end.

    Except for the whole giving your team crazy dodge AND offense up when they dodge.
    And the (sometimes double) stun.
    And the crazy fast speed that makes him go before almost every other character.

    No. Both of them are fine, just relax. Nobody likes counter attacks, but as you get better you will learn how to manage them.

    Fives does ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING the first five or six rounds of the fight. Yes he is strong late game but at the expense of being as worthwhile as Barriss at the start of the fight. So in the end he evens out.

    Stop complaining. There are so many different strategies to beat him. Heal, debuff him, or get better heroes that he can't 3v1.

    How do you counter Dooku? You stun him.

    Do you see a pattern developing here?

    No toon should be able to 1v4 an entire team, and those of you who think it's fair are biased. I have fives and still think it's poorly balanced

    Exactly, but you can't completely blame the guy. EA has nurtured a meta of speed dmg teams that have been able to handily dominate the meta for the past couple months and people can't handle having to think during a battle now.

    I don't have Fives, and I think he's fine. Makes you shake up your normal strategy to account for him.

    I agree. But only Fives twice protection and life than Dooku.

    Do people ever search the forums before making a topic? This is the exact same post that comes up once a day, gets a few replies, and then dies off.

    Fives is pretty good, especially against certain comps and he's devastating against lover level lower gear teams. He's not nearly as good (but still decent) against equal level equal gear teams that play the match correctly.

    Can we just get a megathread in the character section?

    Fives' omega basic is bugged (should not give an extra attack the same attack he applies slow) but otherwise is fine and easily dealth with (stuns, taunt, stealth, heals).

    I agree, he's a beast and a pain in the **** but why ask for a nerf of character anyone can get, also may i add i don't have 5's so this isn't biased

    For me what makes fives really tough are two things...he has a really high health pool and if you put fives with the right team say like with RG, Rey, Daka, Dooku then that setup can be a challenge. But he is beatable. I use a G9 Daka to stun him. If you leave Fives for last when fighting a squad just make sure you have stunners if you don't then yeah he can slowly take out your team one by one with his counter attacks.

    Who do you use against him that he beats you 4 v 1? Cop? Ugnaut? Rg can easily handle him as can daka and even duku. He is very susceptible to stuns.

    Can you provide a video of the 1vs4 so we can critique it? Because the last time I saw someone making that exact same argument (that fives can 1 vs 4), when I watched the video, 2 of the players were almost dead, and fives was 4 levels higher (and possibly even better geared, but I don't remember).

    Use RG , Daka and / or Dooku and then an high hitter like Rey and Fives is no Problem at all :wink:

    No stun him more. Since the characters are already dead)

    I think the one you're thinking of was a Dooku 1v4 thread, and the OP used a malformed droid squad and made several strategy mistakes on the way to still almost pulling it off. I seem to remember seeing an Omega Fives 1v4 video where the other team was in fairly good condition to start, but I don't remember for sure.
