Mace Windu being underplayed

In my opinion the dev's do a decent job balancing so that there aren't many OP heroes. However there are a few standouts like Yoda, Dooku, etc. What confuses me is why Mace Windu is made into such an irrelevant character.
Just to recall: Mace Windu was considered the champion of the Jedi Counsel amongst nearly every other Jedi we are aware of, even Yoda! He was such a bad@$$ that at one point he was even elected Master of the Jedi Order. In fact the backstory pretty clearly highlights that he was the most gifted fighter within the now 7 movies. He is responsible for the gastly state of Sidious, was amongst the first to sense Palpetines plot, killed one of the Fets, etc. His only loss was trusting Anakin. On top of that we can see him as an absolute monster in the Clone Wars series. In one episode he makes a ~300ft vertical leap.
My point is we look at Yoda with all his flips and quick moves and praise him but forget Mace Windu is the undoubtedly top 5 most powerful characters in the 7 movies and TV series. In fact the only person I'd argue could fairly beat him is Luke at his peak (hopefully 8&9 reveal this power).
Which leads to my conclusion: The game is decently balanced to the actual canon abilities of the characters, but their are some cringe worthy exceptions. For example GS would whoop Mace Windu 1v1....WTF!? I honestly don't think any of the characters available would stand a chance against Mace Windu 1v1. I have my Windu at 7* with maxed armor but I would be willing to earn more shards or whatever to make him as powerful as he rightfully should be. Which is the undoubtedly strongest character in this game.

P.S. I know my complaint will have no effect on the overarching meta, so I guess I'd like to see a discussion about Windu obviously out matching anyone.
