How is using the Vader cron a fair matchup

I was genuinely looking forward to the final GAC round until I saw this. While it may be technically within the rules, my opponent has deliberately chosen to exploit the unfair advantage created by the Vader datacron.

A number of content creators have explicitly advised against using this interaction, on the basis that it clearly goes against the spirit of fair competition within the game – a view I share.

The question this raises is why CG continue to allow this behaviour to persist. When an interaction is so widely acknowledged as broken or unintended, and openly discouraged by the community, it undermines competitive integrity and erodes confidence in the mode itself.

    They've already fixed it:

  • There have been many exploits through the years in this game.  If no one cries foul, it is allowed to persist for a very long time.  An influencer was banned for showing an exploit a few years ago and he even said in his video not to do it.  His account was banned regardless.  

    As another player has stated, CG says it was fixed.  That still does not excuse that it was a known issue and many players with cash chose to use this defense to their benefit.  This is fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your POV, not Blizzard Entertainment so there will be no ban hammer or consolidation prizes given out.  Best of luck in your battles.

  • Post-fix, this is a dumb team to set on defense. You put Omega in captive state and she can't do anything. Vader can be controlled with stuns and ability block. MM can't be targeted, but AOEs will still hit her and all she can do is summon her summon guy and heal a bit. 

    Bring some mid-tier team with some AOE damage and a stun and you're getting high banners on this battle.
