With all the nerfs to jedi and all the way buffs to sid in this patch,
I didn't feel balance at all. More like, revenge of the sid or sid strike back and maybe like the sid awakening.
The game is still great but recently i doubt the devs have already gone too far to the dark side of the force.
Will there be any fix or mini patch in the near future? Is there any chance that ewoks or storm troopers will be the star of the show next time. uhh, I feel very excite, really!

Adjustments, especially in a new game, should be made slowly and gently. Not "your healing is reduced by 50%" and "your damage is now doubled against Jedi".
The new characters also seem to be stronger on one side than the other.
The net result isn't balance, just imbalance the other way.
QFT. The last patch is typical of devs in every multiplayer game. "There was an imbalance in play with a specific class at a specific point in the game. As a result we have reduced x by 50%, increased y by 50%, and introduced ability z that increases the overall effectiveness of the underpowered class by another 35% on top of the crazy changes above. You will see these changes take effect across the board rather than at the specific point where the imbalance was seen. Our unintended goal is to create further imbalance that will result in future buffs and nerfs in an unending cycle of change that will infuriate players. May the odds ever be in your favor and the force be with you."
Not sure which Jedi you have, but if you're encompassing the entire Jedi roster they are still right there in the thick of things. Ben, Aayla, Jinn - all can be used effectively as leaders or in general vs. Sith - same with Ima. I think they are just more even now and Sith actually have some ability to contend, but with so few Sith their build options are very limited. Widely available Sith vs. widely available Jedi though I could see being sort of a butt kicking. Sid is pretty nasty vs. Jedi and many have him, same for Dooku. Opress is a relatively quick unlock / farm if you target him and Vader most will get over time if not all. You'd need to start breaking in to the chrome / lucky bronze drop Jedi to see the parity (Jinn, Aayla, Ben, Ima, etc.). I think the move was necessary as the Jedi group as a whole was really dominating the PVP builds.
I think this Jedi issue will be a continual problem to balance though as there are just so many Jedi in the lore and powerful and popular ones, yet to be released. What happens when you get Jedi Luke (could have a few versions of him actually)? Yoda? Possibly a young Obi Wan?
I'm sure they'll get the hang of it eventually, and don't doubt that it will get rebalanced again. Cuz you're right, the sith are at the top of the food chain right now.
yeah don't attack him with Jedi...especially if the leader has an evade enhancer. You will wiff over and over trying to hit him. Have to bring in some non-Jedi when you see a Sid combined with an evasion leader. He's really hard to take down in that situation. Lumi, Obi Wan, Maul, Dooku, etc. as leaders are trouble.
Although saying that, I struggle in general against his lumi + barris + consular anyway since I struggle to burst them down quick enough before their healing is off cooldown.
Lumi + Bariss + Consular + Maul + Sid leader is a real pain, may be easier if I wasn't 4 levels behind though, they all feel quite tanky even maul compared to people i have fought around my level with these chars before
Overall on the attack you can still deal with sith enemies quite easily, just kill maul first. On the defense, if the ai does not focus maul you are just screwed. As with most issues with balance in this game defense team AI can be a serious problem.
Counter or 3x healers.
Jedi are great with the right set up, but the Jedi needs are mostly payed for. Aayla,qui gon, kit, anakin, Obi wan, pylo are all great. You need to learn to synergy better and develop a strategy outside healing.
It is a similar problem to what dooku and Barriss were, easy to get or buy characters whose early power level is high is going to recieve a lot of complaints, regardless if it is more balanced later in the game.
I love going against these teams lol, not because of easy wins, they aren't, I just enjoy having a mini Sith vs Jedi fight
