That being said, if we looked at the Star Wars: Legion worlds breakdown it’s a 50/50 split. With more players there are more reps, more matches against Empire and just more data for people to work from. I think the Empire is easier to play, more forgiving and has shinier toys and therefore attracts more players.
I think that the rebels in most cases are being misplayed. There has been a lot of talk in the Star Wars Legion community lately that the Rebels are not good, or specifically, are out matched by the Empire… I don’t agree. At that time, I didn’t take it seriously and used it as an excuse. I didn’t want people to see how bad I was (or at least how bad I thought I was). We had been maybe 14 episodes into our Star Wars Legion podcast ( The Fifth Trooper) and we were picking up some notoriety in the community and I didn’t want to be embarrassed. At the time I was deathly afraid of losing. I dabbled almost a year ago at PAX Unplugged and ran a double air speeder list as an excuse to not actually try to play for real. Let’s start off by saying that this isn’t the first time I have stepped out on my love: The Empire.
