Dooku Still Broken
Even after today's update, he's still broken. I got to the last man standing on both teams. Both were at full health and same level.
4* Sidious vs 3* Dooku
Sidious gets one attack.
Dooku gets 8 attacks. He attacks twice first, twice on counter, and then four more times consecutively.
When is it enough? Does it take a mass exodus to fix it like what just happened in Swtor?

1) Dooku attacks first, then gets a bonus attack. Bonus attack adds turn meter.
2) Sidious attacks once.
3) Dooku counters, then gets a bonus attack. Bonus attack adds turn meter.
4) By this point his 2 counters have given him enough bonus turn meter to give him his next turn.
And of course he then he gets another bonus attack and gets bonus turn meter again.
Are you then saying Dooku takes another normal turn before Sidious?
Sounds like you either got unlucky with the bonus turn meter gains on Dooku or he's still bugged because the proc rate should only be 25% now, not 100%.
The fact that Dooku is "must have" tells me he should be toned down, imo. And truly, EVERY team I run into in GW has Dooku on it, and almost every team I challenge above me in arenas. I'm sure as **** farming him, that's for sure. There's a reason EVERYONE is using this guy. The only *reliable* counters to him that I've seen are lucky pulls from Chromium packs.
So far I can build a team to beat any other type of squad (similar power level of course) that has no Dooku in it, but Dooku is impossible for me to deal with.
Of course I do use my own dooku... but I wouldn't mind if they reduced his base speed. At level 44 with max gear it is 139, 40% faster than average plus all the turn meter procs, counter attacks, and bonus attacks.
If the Dooku is not leveled and geared up and there's only one Jedi healer, sometimes I take him out on the first turn as follows. My Dooku stuns their healer. Then everyone focuses fire on Dooku. Luminara's special even at level 48 can crit for 3k and often wipes him right off the map. Otherwise, use other characters with high offense.
If Barriss is not on the opposite team, take out the healer, then use Sideous and just wear him down. He's annoying, but usually not a big problem unless he gets very lucky.
I do agree that the double-counters need to go. A counter-attack should be one attack only.
Is that true vs a 7* Dooku? I haven't seen one Dooku over 4* yet and, at 4*, he's really strong.
I could just have horrible luck RNG wise but honestly the guy is overpowered. Individually his abilities are not so bad but the way they synergise is rudiculous. Bonus attacks and counter attacks should be damage only. They should not proc anything, affect turn meters, or be able to trigger additional bonus attacks. Take that crap away and increase damage by 5%, hp by 10%, and reduce lightning cool down by one.
He is more than a glass cannon. He's a spiked glass cannon, because every time you hit him you get hit 1-4 times in return. Again, it's the synergies between multiple abilities all had by one guy
ability lock or stun pretty much kills his ability to counter attack... I was surprised when Luminara ability locked him, he didn't even move... Once more people realise this.. you'll probably see less of him as people will start using various characters that either stun or ability lock
Once his abilities are locked or stunned, he goes down very fast!
Game used to be fun when it wasn't a grind... if I wanted a grind I would have went and played old school Everquest or some Korean MMO!
Pretty sure he still counters and double attacks through ability lock.
I like to throw a stun and heal immunity on him out of the gate and have my team focus him. He's got pretty low hp.
Leia is legit broken at the moment though. Once her proc is fixed to not be 100% she will be average at best.
Luminara, Old Ben, Sidius. All full health.
If you just lower the counter to 50% it would still be a decent pick.
My RNG against him:
100% counter, 75% stun (on jedi ofc), 50% bonus attack.
If you had those three characters and still lost to Dooku then it sounds like you haven't levelled up your characters or their gear/skills enough.
My Lumi had a 1v1 with Dooku today and still came out on top even with all his stuns and bonus attacks.
2) It sets a wrong precedence. This is also mentioned a lot by many players. If CG caves in and nerf an hero due to "popular demand," then expect a future wave of nerf requests which will eventually water down the game and make every hero perform the same, but with just different skins. In addition, it is quite clear that people who complain about Dooku (and Barris) have not come across Old Ben, who is incredibly powerful and the hero that I want the most (hint: look at my ID and profile picture). Pairing him with a couple of healers almost assures you that you will run out of time.
3) It's not fair. What is more unfair? Aside from few lucky draws, free players complaining a paid hero to be "over-powered" vs. people who paid hard-earned cash not getting their money worth in return? Let those few P2W players enjoy what they paid for. They deserve it. I am fine with them dominating the top leaderboard while I enjoy this game. The great thing about this game is that it still offers other ways to remain competitive - albeit with a bit more patience
4) "It's the economy, stupid." Most importantly, at the end of the day, someone has to pay the bill - i.e. the cost to run servers, pay the developers, etc. It is that very small population of players with generous pockets that enable the majority of players to enjoy this great game for free. If you fail to incentivise them or nerf an hero after being purchased, why would they continue to spend money on this game? Chase them out for the sake of "balance" and guess what will happen after that. Either CG will have to jack up the price of future packages because there is a smaller population to draw cash from or EA will pull the plug if the game fails to generate enough revenue. What a shame. People failing to see the larger picture will drive away the cash cows and slowly kill the game
5) Join the Dark Side. If you truly think Dooku is over-powered, then why not pay a small sum and unleash his power against your opponents? Was the Rebel Alliance on equal grounds fighting against the Empire? Bu, bu, but, that's not the point here! Well, no one is forcing you to play this game. Besides, can I remind you to re-read Point 3 and 4?
