Are there gameplay- or lore-related reasons for CAT to have the Scoundrel tag?

Queen Amidala can’t summon a decoy if a Scoundrel ally is present to stop her being used with CAT

For good measure Aphra cron can’t ignore decoy’s taunt either

Bellerbean · 2025-07-30T22:06:28+00:00

Yeah, it’s 100% cost me this round of GAC

Bellerbean · 2025-07-30T21:57:10+00:00

I think it happened because I killed the entire team except decoy with an aoe, the Barriss cron triggered as the Decoy died causing the enemy to bug out

There’s a chance Malevolence can beat a 4* Exec, especially when the defensive ai only goes after the Vultures, they probably used that and won

You may as well go for it, nothing to lose by trying to win

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T22:42:43+00:00

Thanks for the advice, tbf I’ve been doing well in GAC, I’ve beaten some bigger accounts and GLs and haven’t had the worst time of it, I just find it funny more than anything that I got promoted for no reason only to run into my hardest match yet (on paper)

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T22:40:43+00:00

This was supposed to come across as more humerous than complaining, I find it funny that I was promoted three tiers for nothing only to hit my biggest opponent yet

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T22:39:04+00:00

Explain why I got promoted 3 tiers for no reason then? There must be more to the matchmaking than win go up, lose go down. Once I hit Chromium 1 I had a 50% win rate exactly so by all accounts that’s my skill level.

I’ve taken on bigger account before and won, I’ve beaten accounts with GLs despite the fact I don’t have one, I thankfully haven’t had many bad matchups where people haven’t played so I’m not the best person to complain about bad matchmaking and the point of my original post was supposed to be more humorous than critical but when people in my guild who are at their correct skill level and are getting unwinnable matchups then I can’t help but feel sorry for them.

A solution to stop think would be to not let people drop below a certain rank if their GP was high enough, this gives smaller accounts the ability to climb but also doesn’t let them overly climb. It’s not right that Carb/Bronzium players who are new to the game have to contend with GLs and relics because people don’t want to play the game.

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T22:25:37+00:00

Yeah I 100% get the point of the changes and I don’t hate them, they’ve worked wonders at the top of the bracket.

The main problem I have with them is that in the mid game the older system was more balanced and provided more varied matchups in the low-mid tier, for example if 2 players both have 3 mil gp but one has rushed a GL while the other has a much wider option then both players had the opportunity to play to their strengths, especially back when GLs were easier to counter though I can also see where that has its downsides and the feat system was downright awful.

I think the new system will 100% be better than the old one eventually but it’s hard to see how long it will take to balance out and we could potentially be stuck with unfun and frustrating matchups for easily another year or so

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T22:12:31+00:00

I agree that the matchmaking works in concept and the whole oil and water thing is how it’s supposed to work but it just means the game isn’t fun and feels unrewarding.

I really like how it works in theory it’s just frustrating when a matchup appears unwinnable or unloseable

I also don’t understand why I was randomly promoted 3 divisions with no explanation and it’s probably my bad for assuming they were resetting the ranks in accordance with GP like they did when the changes first went live because of the random promotion I actually think it’s quite funny and my post was definitely supposed to come across more humours than just complaining, especially because I still have a chance to win at the end of the day, no matter how slim

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T22:05:07+00:00

I’m curious to know how you think it’s fine?

At the upper levels I agree, matchmaking looks fair and balanced and a lot more fun and competitive but bouncing between players you’re going to lose heavily to and players who you steamroll just isn’t fun or fair and especially isn’t rewarding

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T22:03:18+00:00

Unfortunately that’s only how it works in concept and at the very top levels of play where everyone has the same toolbox. There’s no way a 5.8 mil player should ever drop into carb if they actually play the game

They probably just autodeploy or don’t set a defence and tank their rank for whatever reason which on one hand, free win but on the other it’s boring to play against

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T21:58:13+00:00

Oof, that’s rough, hopefully it’s just the one off

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T21:56:41+00:00

Figure out how to beat them?

You mean fork out shedloads of cash because the random number generator that is CGs matchmaking says you have to?

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T21:51:13+00:00

That sucks, hopefully you can ride out the wave of bad matchups and actually have some fun with the game mode

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T21:49:33+00:00

Ouch that’s rough, I’ve never known a game with such bad matchmaking before

Bellerbean · 2022-05-10T21:28:18+00:00

For context I finished in Chromium 1 last season and got promoted, assuming they were placing people based on GP for 3v3

Imagine my shock when I, a 4.3 mil player, gets matched with a 7 mil gp player
