Malak...

Now that Malak has had his day in the sun. Might you lot reign his ridiculous kit in a bit? Something like limited his drains to the 'max 3' limit would be super. He's already disgusting in every way possible.

Ridiculous health steal, steals turns/buffs on crit, passive taunt, health drain/annihilate, applies shock, applies heal immunity, applies tenacity down, stuns, one of the highest health pools, ridiculous crit avoid mechanics.

His counters are so incredibly limited that he is unbeatable in 3v3 except via another Malak team.

    Imagine the kits a year from now? Oh wait, game is dying, so won’t be around a year from now, right?

    Those kits though will be hilarious.

  • Malak is probably the most annoying thing in the game. He replaced Nest as most hated. IMHO

    He is a sith lord, he should be hated.

    Apparently people's hatred is not making them more powerful.

    Yeah ok, you're the one who said "just malak" so that's what I responded to.

    So arena Malak is countered by GG Nuke, UP, and Padme (it's consistent for the people at top of arena). Seems like three counters (at minimum) is more than enough for the second most recent EC.


    Yea, my Padme team wrecks Sith Empire. I can just get stuck waiting for the heal immunity then Malak catches a lucky drain on Anakin and it's game over. It's super annoying.


    I like to run Padme with a fast GMY for this reason. I only use 3PO vs teams with Sith Trooper. If you're down to Loincloth Magneto and Anakin goes belly up, you still have a chance of beating him with Padme, Ahsoka and GMY if you can manage to stun him repeatedly.


    Loincloth Magneto! hahaha Brilliant.

    Yea. Just being hopeful. All he's missing is self-revive and the kitchen sink. Garbage design.


    So I'm confused, is he post-meta or is he still overpowered due to "garbage design?"


    Still overpowered due to a garbage design and lacks counters. General Skywalker is the meta. What is difficult to understand?


    General Skywalker isn't even that much of a "meta." Sith Empire with Malak can still eat Skywalker alive with much lower relic levels

    Offense is usually better than defense to create the illusion of good play. It's good for the game if people win when they attack, because then they get to pat themselves on the back for a job well done and when they lose ground overnight they get to reclaim it. This creates a churn that keeps the competition alive.

    I don't have an opinion on how good or bad Anakin is. I'm just saying that Sith Empire with Malak can eat Skywalker alive, but I wouldn't be surprised if Skywalker ate Sith Empire as often. Teams of the same tier won't be better or worse than one another, just better than everything below it and then a matter of personal opinion and subjective playstyle when compared to one another.
