You know the power creep is off the charts when you know an otherwise decent rework will make a hole in the water. These poor clones will probably not even take a turn against Darth Revan, fear will prevent them from doing anything, adding the debuffs from dark Bastila and damage from HK and you know these clones will be toast before they can even move.
I'm not saying it would make sense for a squad of clones to beat Revan and Malak lore wise, but it's telling of where we are currently with the power creep in this game and the broken mechanics like fear. Added to the fact that you can't assist against Revan and Malak will hit you for 100% of your max health. Clones will be a B tier squad at best

What did you expect 4 clones and a jedi to kill sith lords?
Not really.
Jedi are stronger than clones
But when you have an element of surprise and outnumbered by 1000s obviously they would win
It's like saying those random natives were stronger than Rome when in reality they were just outnumbered by thousands
Literally said I didn't expect them to beat Revan and Malak because it wouldn't make sense lore wise. I said it's telling of how bad the powecreep is.
But let’s not forget this young Jedi going up vs 10
The instant win button is the next stage of fun in the new meta experience, but thankfully it's not quite here just yet. Appreciate that.
Pretty soon the power creep will get to the point where the only way to beat the meta will be this exact thing. Sad but this is where the pursuit for more and more money leads.
Rex unique and Shaak Ti lead both give substantial speed boosts, and the team has many vectors for TM gain. Multiple units, if not the entire team, will take their turns before Drevalak starts going.
They'll probably get whupped, but taking some turns against Drevalak will be pretty easy for clones.
While not meta breaking I can see them getting into top 200-100 range.
Exactly how is it telling "how bad the power creep is", if a rework can't do something, which you don't expect them to be able to do in the first place. Just trying to comprehend your line of thought.
... but clones aren’t designed to be meta so why bother trying.
Really hope they are going to be of the same standard as JTR or at least better than a Sep-droid team
He means power creep in the meta is so bad that a clones rework won't make them contenders.
I don't personally find an issue with clones not being able to beat DRevan (presumably), just saying what I believe OP meant.
I’m viewing this on par with the BHs rework a while back as a strong PvE team, with benefits in TW/GA.
You mean like this?
why ? ewoks were killing revan for a few weeks
Well, yeah. When a team with an instakill mechanic and essentially doubling their stats while saving a key member can't even make a splash, you know the power creep is through the roof.
CG basically said this, right? I think it was when they announced GAC and the geo TB along with reworks.
Doesnt make sense for revan to beat emperor palpatine lore wise either, palp was much more powerful then vitiate,
Haven't met a Sith that's blaster proof!
Actually that would be pretty cool. It would be like a Darth Nihilus execute. After like 6 turns they can kill any Jedi or sith. It would give them a niche.
New Zeta for Darth Sidious! Make him the real leader for clones! Or Chancellor Palpatine
Let's not pretend that lore really matters when it comes to the game. Enfys Nest can solo a maxed out Shaak-Ti clone squad here. I mean, she was great in the Solo movie, but not destroy a Jedi commander and a squad of clones on her own great.
Also, Mace Windu(one of the strongest Jedi ever, according to lore) loses to pretty much everyone...

And not every team in the top 100 shouldd be a Darth Revan variant, I would love to see EA nerf both darth revan squads and revan squads so they were just barely viable as a top tier team. I do not care about the lore of teams and if they are stronger. What they really need to stop doing is coming up with op skills that are not really counter able until they make a character to directly counter that ability. That is a broken system that guarantees, that only the latest squad is #1. In just about any other game when you look at the top squads they are varied, but only in this game do you find every squad in the top 50 arena being the same Darth Revan variant, or a variant of Thrawn in fleet arena. The developers are so freaking lazy in this game. The only thing that saves this game is balance, and that is the one thing we will never have.
