Did Evasion Get Buffed?

Tuftedpaper85

It seems like characters are dodging way more than usual. I've seen 3-4 dodges in a row against non-jedi under Lumi lead (7.5% extra evasion) several times since the update. Dooku leads seem like they're dodging more since the update, and even against someone like a Phasma lead there's typically been several dodges during the match. Is it just me or has anybody else noticed anything?

It's just RNG being RNG.

I wish people would stop looking for things to be "wrong" with the game.

Yes there are things wrong but RNG is RNG.

Lol - yep! There is so much that is clearly wrong, that you don't have to dig.

Ooohwee. Exactly. One bad match and everyone runs to the forum crying for an explanation. It's pretty much been proven that AI sacrifices a newborn to RNGsus every single day so the AI always has an RNG advantage.

Why is it that people jump to defend RNG and claim things like "one bad match blah blah blah"?

RNG does play a huge role in this game. But to the OP's point, I've also seen evade be much more active today than I recall.

I have done 4 arena battles so far, 3 of them against an OB lead. I also run an OB lead (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em). In the last battle, the first 7 out of 8 attacks were evaded (not counting the foresight from Rey). I counted because I'd noticed in previous battles that the evade rate seemed crazy high.

Yes, this could still be RNG. But this could also be yet another unintended consequence of something changed in the game.

Exactly. "Today". If you're getting a weeks worth of dodges then there might be something to it. But 4 arena battles at an above average dodge rate isn't nearly enough to cry foul.

Had a record high evades from opponents last night myself. Think I counted around 6 or 7 in a row at one point.

Probably RnG, but I have seen other posts like this floating around.

Are you seeing more of Mr. Han solo??? He is going to make the evasion meta even worse.

Han Solo is too squishy to make much of a difference.

Yes however when he gives the entire team +10% evasion on top of old man 15% that can be enough
