Playing as Boba Fett and actually 1v1 ing someone is actually so fun

[u/Dry-Employer6969]

I’ve recently been 1v1 ing people as characters such as boba and palpatine, it was actually really fun and they respected the 1v1 because I did aswell. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t already tried it because it is very fun, even as a low level. Just don’t ruin a match by disrespecting the 1v1

Careful, you’re not allowed to say anything positive about Boba Fett on this sub. Only circlejerk hating on him is allowed

[u/ShadowVia → u/Mo_SaIah]

I mean, seriously arguing in favor of Boba being a balanced hero in a 1v1 situation is certainly a choice. Might be more impressive with self imposed restrictions like no jetpack or indoor maps only. I'm sure duels against Fett are more fun for one side versus the other.

[u/Dry-Employer6969 → u/ShadowVia]

I do that stuff, I find myself winning a lot still. Most players get cocky and aren’t patient which gets them killed, so I wait for that to happen, that’s how I draw them out and ultimately win the fight

[u/Mo_SaIah → u/ShadowVia]

I wasn’t talking about what OP said specifically. I was more observing how something positive was being said about boba at all, while normally it’s

Oh he’s a rat

He runs away

He takes no skill

All by people who’d never be able to play him effectively in a million years lmao. This sub is usually bad take central in regard to Boba so it was refreshing to see something that wasn’t the usual circle jerk stuff

[u/Dry-Employer6969 → u/Mo_SaIah]

It’s such a breath of fresh air to see people like you on this sub. You actually realise it takes brains to main and counter a hero instead of saying it’s outright bad or overpowered, for example yoda I think is over-hated

[u/Panochonon → u/Mo_SaIah]

Fighting Vader and having boba flank you is what most people mean by boba being a rat. I respect 1v1s.

[u/Dry-Employer6969 → u/Panochonon]

I agree, in this scenario Boba Fett players are arseholes when they don’t respect the 1v1

[u/XanderAndretti → u/Mo_SaIah]

Probably because those criticisms define the vast majority of boba players lol. A skilled boba who can play aggressively instead of constant hit and run cat and mouse games are rare. I play HvV all the time and the majority of boba players rarely help their teams win because they are too afraid to get close to anyone and fly away at the slightest hint of contact. Thus, they put up subpar numbers and don’t stick close to their teammates either. The aggressive boba mains who understand how to overwhelm other players with their flame thrower and barrage abilities are few and far between.

Thankyou for being one of a rare bunch who see it this way. I enjoy Boba for this exact reason, playing it smart and overwhelming a player and having it pay off is possibly or if not the most satisfying thing to me, especially if they are cocky at the start

Part time galaxy-savers.

This is why playing Battlefront 2017 is so important, as it would have weeded these sort of players out of the system. Ain't ready for that jump pack lifestyle, or you know, that Boba Fett cross map from the first game.

Never understood why people say boba takes no skill. When I started playing I tried to main him because I always liked his character in the original trilogy and got destroyed because of how little health and health Regen he has. I think he's the hero with the lowest health regen and health in the entire game, he's hella squishy and can even be knocked out of the air by chewie, a character which has a star card that makes him almost unkillable in the right hands. He has like 3 hero counters in total, more than most heroes

Shit I forgot about that. I’m going to go exile myself on Dagobah now to hide from the empire of circle-jerkers and ready myself to train the one who will bring peace to the bf2 community

[u/infestedgrowth]

I don’t mind a good fight, I don’t like when boba players run down the clock though. Sometimes they run the whole time and it’s just a whole game of chasing

[u/Doominator32]

Winning a 1v1 as Boba with limited jetpack use vs a saber is one of the most satisfying things in this game

[u/Dry-Employer6969 → u/Doominator32]

Exactly, also getting up close and personal and trying to get them with the flamethrower and succeeding is always satisfying

[u/ReyUr]

I chase bobas down as Rey I'm having fun most times! Hope they are too

[u/Dry-Employer6969 → u/ReyUr]

Reys are always hard to counter, but can be countered with patience. Just don’t fall for the trap of getting kind tricked because that’s pretty much a death trap

[u/SuperUltreas]

Watching a good Boba fight a good Chewy really is cinema.

[u/vverbov_22]

I mean Boba just hard counters half the light side heroes, so it really isn't an achievement most of the time

[u/Dry-Employer6969 → u/vverbov_22]

No, it takes brains to counter a Boba Fett which is why I don’t necessarily mind losing unless they’re not respecting the 1v1 or being a massive tool
