Blaster are not lasers, dude. Lasers make beams, not bolts, and move at light speed. Game balance decisions should only vaguely be shaped by canon. If the game is so LS biased, why are Jedi teams not all the rage?
My guild uses LINE, others use Discord. I would rather development time went towards gameplay issues. This issue was one of my reasons for initially objecting to guilds. Development time is never adequate in the best of situations.
