    Look guys/gals, whatever, you’ve provided zero data or even an explanation of why you think HT is not OP. You could at least try and submit something?

    DR without Malak has never been OP, so it has only ever been Malak and isn't now. The rest wasn't particularly relevant, it was just you saying you felt HT was also OP because it was more plug and play. If you want to provide literally any validity, answer the points made and give a reason why meta is the same as OP to you.

    I felt I already answered that.

    Meta has only and always only lasted 6 months tops with specific teams around said “OP” character.

    HT has lasted 18 months surrounded by multiple meta teams as a plug and play character.

    Serious question, has anyone disputing this provided anything, even an explanation as to why they think HT is not OP?



    How long did toons like DN Thrawn and Rex hang around in various forms on Meta arena squads? What's the difference?

    On a separate note, nothing you said still explains why meta and OP are the same thing in your eyes, but out of sheer courtesy, meta and OP are not the same thing, as there is always a meta, not always based around an OP character. OP, or overpowered, means stronger than should be, which would imply no effective counter, hence it applied to Malak because they destroyed the counters people found to ensure he was OP. Meta means using the most effective tactic available to achieve your goal, which in arena battles would be the best team with fewest counters. HT is an effective choice to use if you have a slot free, but that in no way makes it a meta ship when it is so easily and often countered. Hence, it can be the most used ship in arena, so is meta, but is not OP as it makes no fleet unbeatable. Uses the definitions of the terms, the forums have left me too emotionally dead inside to decide things based on feelings. That wordy enough for you?

    I certainly never said meta and OP are the same thing, where you got that is anyone’s guess but mine.

    You may actually think you know what meta means in terms of games, but what you have written shows you absolutely do not, you just go with what everyone has termed it to mean now, but that’s an entirely different discussion and a distinction I’m sure you wouldn’t grasp.

    I’ll concede to you though and bow to your infinite wisdom. HT is not OP, nor has any other char/ship ever been OP in this game.

    You win sir and the original poster of this thread is wrong and HT is average at best.

    Happy now?

    At least you had more to say than that TVF guy, who loves to one word snipe people and then recoil when anyone challenges his ridiculous comments.

    Your entire (failed) argument was based on the length of meta.

    I’m genuinely curious what you think. What data could be presented that would prove meta other than the data you presented yourself?
    Those charts show HT is widely used, which falls under the meta category. IMO, just being versatile doesn’t necessarily make a toon OP. Also, keep in mind, the pool of available ships is much smaller than the pool of characters. That also plays a role in HT’s longevity. In the last 18 months, how many new ships did we get?
    In my mind, to prove a toon is OP would require some type of win/loss percentage comparison of teams with and without HT. Do you have those numbers?
    I reject your reality and substitute my own.

    Not only that, but an agreed upon standard by which to measure toons.

    Without that, "OP" can only ever be an opinion.

    Nah, I’m done. HT is not or has never been OP, which means absolutely no char or ship has ever been OP.

    You guys win, HT is not OP

    Can we at least agree that if HT is not or has never been OP, then no char or ship in the game has ever been OP? I’m willing to concede that point, are you?

    I think CLS was OP for a while

    It’s funny, I watched a video last night of an interview of a person and the interviewer asked if they could ever disagree without insults and just have differing opinions. The interviewee basically said no way Jose, which is what you’re saying to me.

    I never made a baseless claim, just followed up on baseless claims by people who tried to make the OP look foolish. None of them provided any data whatsoever to back up their claim that HT is not OP, that’s what I call “baseless claims”, obv you don’t.

    I provided data that I feel supports my claim, but am willing to concede that the data means something different to you and others, aka “meta”, not “OP”.

    Definitions are by definition defined, it isn't a matter of opinion, but you already knew that, nice story though. You never have to prove that something is not true, there is no reason to believe it without evidence being provided as with the drop rates you have brought up, something you have failed to do based on the definitions of the words you have used.

    Disagree.

    And for clarities sake, I fight and beat HTs at least 5x a day in fleet, so my views on this matter have nothing to do with my personal anecdotal opinions, was just looking at the best overall data I could find that wasn’t anecdotal feely opinions.

    But hey, you win the internet and I’m a complete **** who doesn’t know anything, good for you.

    Yet when people questioned the validity of that data, you insulted them and claimed you "felt" otherwise, only to completely cave and refuse to provide any answers once people elaborated and asked you questions you presumably didn't have answers for.

    If you wish for a more polite and reasoned discussion, this is perhaps not the best initial response.

    I have, I've provided definitions that show you're wrong, invalidating your data and meaning you need to provide more. I've also told you that it is impossible to prove that something is not true unless there is evidence that it is, which you have yet to provide. Plus you haven't started arguing with me, you've just whinged when someone has suggested you're wrong, you need to actually read what people write and counter it before you can be "done arguing".

  • HT is not OP it is just a good tank that can take enough hits so that your offensive reinforcements can get in before it’s taken down. It doesn’t do any real damage it just buys us time to make strategic moves. It is definitely killable and I can knock out any HT one hit once reinforcements are in.

    I see Bossk in every fleet line-up in my shard.

    It’s undeniably overpowered.

    Denied.

    You’re anecdotal denial is denied by actual data.

    According to swgoh.gg HT is used in 72% of rank 1 fleets.

    85% of top 10 fleets use HT



    I was referring to the "undeniably overpowered" part.

    Well I’d say if he’s used by so many rank 1 and top 10 fleets, more so than any other ship, he might just be OP, no?

    HT ranks higher than any other ship in top ranks. He also ranks higher than any other character in top of squad arena, including malak and sky guy.

    If any character or ship is considered OP, the data shows that HT is the top of the list, based on data, period.

    When people say overpowered they mean it's too strong for the good of the game. HT is nowhere near that point anymore, if it ever was.

    You are arguing meta, not OP. HT is the most effective tactic available, or at least that's how people perceive it so they're still using it via muscle memory. But it's definitely not overpowered anymore, because it's easily beatable.

    Still relevant.

    This is necro and kind of pointless

    I agree though, me feeling that the data supports HT being OP definitely doesn’t negate TVFs or anyone’s feelings that the data does not support that.

    I'm frequently late to the party, and those close to me know I love my dead things. But what's "relevant" is that this whole conversation has become purely subjective, and I hold no real stake in this - I don't have HT maxed, and hate fighting it- because I never focused on ships- and that's my fault. I just really wanted to point out the redundancy in your statement.

    I will say that in my Mal fleet, it's still very useful to survive the Neg ult, so maybe the "using due to muscle memory" thing is unfair. And actually now that I think of it, everyone in my shard is still using it with Neg, and from what I've seen of Y-wing, it's because Y-wing is not good.
