I don't know what's worse, the number of Ops out or just the defenders of them. What makes me laugh more is the number of people trying to legitimately say Ops are not OP, yet the number of them per match has been steadily increasing. Well steadily being that consistently 4+ per match I've been in now.

How anyone can defend 3 second stun that doesn't break on damage and 50% armor reduction buff on the same class that has stealth is beyond me.

if the two you are takling about are a battlemaster powertech with a battlemaster merc healer who is guarded then...um no.

even in equal gear popping consumables you arent giong to break open that powertech or that merc

It's a old train of thought. If their favorite no talent class has the potential to get nerfed their common excuse is L2P to the people they easily steamroll because of broken mechanics and OPness.

I was in a match with 7 Jedi Sages does that make them OP by that logic?

I have a guy like you in my guild. If anyone beats him, their class is OP. If they were the same class, it becomes a lag issue, etc.
Preventing Hackers and Exploiters from ruining the game is not a priority. Preventing you from mentioning the fact that they exist and go unpunished is.

Actually, sages and sorcs would be the runner up for most overpowered class after operative.
Get balance right, and you fix pvp.

If they are op, can't wait to read the forums when they get the nerfbat. That's always a good time sink.

except for teh fact that healing opreatives/scoundrels are very squishy compared to healbot sorc/mercs with no real defensive cooldowns. therefore if you start seeing matches with all scoundrels/op's it's easily countered with tanks and heales and use of guard.

yes one person may be bursted down through guard by 2 ops/scoundrels on them at once, but think about that for a minute.
