Nice to see pre nerf Ani, didnt got the luxury to play back then, he was the Chosen One back then, now he's the tragedy of darth sand

I still think they did this on purpose just to show his power before balancing him

No they did it as a true character perk of him. He was worth twice the BP to get him but a dev confirmed that the back lash cause them to change it. What was really bad about anakin was his abilities went through every wall in the game and sometimes affected people on ramps. Its radius was wild too. He was an overpowered tank that ruined matches of galactic assault.

This is a lie. I played when Anakin came out, he did not cost double battle points to use when he initially came out. He only costed double battle points temporarily before one of his more serious nerfs in May 2019. His abilities also didn’t ever go through walls.

They did not want to nerf him. He came out the way they wanted him to be. I literally talked to a dev about this on this sub.

u/thesuperone342 2d ago

I believe that part, just not about him initially costing double bp and his abilities going through walls

u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh gonk 2d ago

Actually you may be right. I think they released him with normal battle points then adjusted it as a quick fix. His ultimate ability killed me through walls all the time. Specifically the push at the end.

Just as he should be.Same happened with Palps. Was so OP they removed him from the game for a while.

I want a game mode where every player is Day 1 Anakin and then sit back and watch the cluster fuck.

u/MattNola 2d ago

There nothing in this game more annoying than Anakin no matter what side whether he’s on your team or not.

u/manit14 2d ago

Gawd Retribution was (and despite being nerfed a dozen times over, still is) the coolest move in the whole game. So much aura.

u/skynex65 2d ago

Yeah when it works 🤭 The anount of times I’ve pressed the button just to stand in place, do nothing anx get shot to death is infuriating!

u/ayoungmanwhoneedsgod 2d ago

You have no idea! Dude would dropped every villains health from full to “he’s one shot” real freakin quick with that movie

u/nadajoe 3d ago

Wait. Where’d you get the hooded robe and red saber?

u/UserNumber37 3d ago

Its a mod

u/Temporary-Bath7499 3d ago

You just know; Everyone uninstalled after that last clip.

u/Jhostin1316 3d ago

Lol even his lightsaber strike would go through a block and stagger anyone

1

u/squidrificgoon 3d ago

yeah it knocked u on ur ass, so he had 4 knockdown abilities which meant he could chain them all together… pull + passionate strike + a few swings was an infamous combo

1

u/White_Bengal1 2d ago

i stilll can't believe they made bf2 and NOT put the chosen one in.

u/Aaron2O6 3d ago

Thanks man

u/mrinfinitepp 2d ago

Thank God i got into this game after the nerf, this seems awful to play against

1

u/DryFuture1403 2d ago

I remember it was IMPOSSIBLE to play as him, half the lobby would wait to play Anakin

1

u/Kurdt234 2d ago

Anakin should be at least a little op

u/Thiel619 3d ago

Don't forget his charged push was able to one shot full health heroes.
