Is "Fives" Leader ability suppose to be a joke?

No seriously, I find it laughable at best that they think I would use that leader ability over chewies, nobody cares cause nobody uses it... understandable

He's probably early in the game still. Chewie was good until the damage got really crazy. I used to use him too
Agree. Early on, he does his job.
I do. What's wrong? Wookiee Resolve – All allies gain +50 Defense with a 50% chance to gain Defense Up for 2 turns when attacked. <- that's pretty darn good.
@Baal: It's not wise to upset a Wookie. You know, they tend to pull peoples arms out of their sockets when they get angry
His leadership ability is pretty awesome, I admit, but he's really only good when you're manually controlling the battle, and once you hit mid-late game, he starts to lag behind because of his taunt.
When you can choose when to taunt he can be great, but the problem once you hit higher levels is that you pretty much only taunt when you want him to die instead of another toon, so you hold onto his taunt... Until he dies, you're pretty much left with a slow, low-damage, high-hp attacker with a self heal.
Sub in a healer or high DPS toon and you'll never have need of a taunt.
I had thought about asking people to stop using him in GW, but I decided not to... It makes things much easier for me when I see him on the other team, especially as the leader. At that point, I'm pretty much fighting against 4 toons that don't have a threatening leadership ability. The defense is nice, but my team does enough damage that it doesn't make much of a difference,
As far as we know, that means when a droid powered by poggle hit you for 9500, you receive "only" 9450.
Spurious assumption
Based in the skill description. And casual observation: you do roughly the same damage to "toughest" units with high armor, as Fives, or one with low armor like poggle. The difference is how many HP they have, not the damage they take. And moving Chewie from leader to regular squad doesn't seem to affect the damage received in a significative amount
Edit: Also my goal with the full first order team is to show how much actual "Random Ally Assists" you can achieve with 36% phasma ability, hopefully soon I can post some vids of that in action, because there seems to be much more "random" ally assists in arena than I get with a full first order team when people have (usually) zero first order allies.
