The event Darth Malak also inflicts Fear on units that inflict a Damage Over Time on him, similar to his player ownable unit. Bastila Shan (Fallen)’s AI inadvertently changed in the last release to where she no longer prioritizes Fear. We will be updating her AI to prioritize Fear over Wild Lightning. We’ve discovered some Darth Malak match-ups that we’d like to improve in Darth Malak’s favor. We’re going to be making some changes to his kit, but we’re still finalizing what those changes are at the moment. Once we are finalized, we will let you know the changes.Original Post (LINK)

At least this is more honest/direct than the work around they did when nerfing Finn/Nest. This is just directly saying, "It's not fair that a lineup that didn't cost hundreds of dollars is wrecking Malak, even by ai, so were just going to nerf them into oblivion :p . Remember when Revan first came out and it was so difficult to counter him that just putting one in a territory could stop a guild from progressing? I guess thats what they want.And for a Malak lineup to stay parked at the top of arena all day long since they clearly have never wanted a Rock/Paper/Scissors meta which they could have let stay if they really wanted PVP to be healthy.

Agreed. This is ridiculous. The road ahead said they wanted to get away from over powered characters and yet here we are

Every time a new underwhelming character is reworked or released, they always say that it is because that we aren’t missing them properly or using the right team compostion (See GG rework). But Malak just got released and they are already buffing him when he was already good.

Lol, we released a healing character that can’t heal with a debuff that’s rampant in the meta in which he was released- SHOCK!

Are you trying make us quit this week?!
Please just let other teams be able to beat Malak and let bygones be Qui-gons, the community isn't happy as it is, this will just make it worse

Hi, we still don’t test crap. Thanks for complaining so we can fix it later.

Yep

People say to wait and see how a character preforms before making assumptions about them but when Malak is even slightly venerable to another team it seems even Cg isn't willing to listen to that line of thinking anymore

Players: "The Grievous rework sucks"
CG: "You guys are modding him all wrong"
Players: "Shock prevents Malak from healing"
CG: "We will work on buffing him asap"

And people joked about Cg fixing Dr when he wasn't the dominant meta like Jkr was
Guess that joke became a reality with Malak huh?

So much salt. Call Morton's.

The hardest Character to get in the game SHOULDN'T be easily beat by an old lead or character. Poor show on CG's part on letting it go out like that, GJ on owning it and doing something about it.

In other news, loving Malak - keep up the fun, challenging, and inventive ways to release new toons CG. This is lightyears better than marquees :D
