When will we get any information about Lord Vaders potential buff ? Right now Lord Vader is the easiest GL to counter and hardest to get. Sith Triumvirate , Imperial Troopers , Fennec Lead without BSoJ , SLKR with nightsister cheese. I don't understand how CG released this character as he is right now and do not forget they did fix the crit immunity buff so this characters original state is what he is at the moment. Some youtubers, testers when Lord Vader launched talked like he is a beast or something like that but the problem is Lord Vader is not an Attacker he is a Tank. Game is saying he is an Attacker but he is not. Everyone who use him or fought against him says only he is thick. Not a single person can say Lord Vader is an Attacker he is not an Attacker until his 3rd Ult, but if you use ult at full you won't be able to charge up the ult until 4 turn goes. So he can turn into an Attacker but he needs at least 12 turn. And while using his ult he needs his 3 teammates alive, if not he needs another %100 ult. So i am asking this to anyone who works in EA CG, why did you make this character this way. He is a TANK, he is not like in the movies or games. As you can see from swgoh.com every Lord Vader user in high ranks using him with protection primaries this is not a good way to use an ATTACKER TAG character. Lord Vaders kit is really sloppy so please just don't change minor things like add some texts or anything else please turn him into an ATTACKER as you stated.

Yeah it's really weird to me how they have mentioned looking into him twice now, while also mentioning the hierarchy of strength in the last State of the Galaxy. But meanwhile they have completely ignored him and have not even hinted as to whether or not there will be any action taken for weeks now. Can we at least get some communication as to what the thought process is? Will there or will there not be any updates to his kit?

Reminds me a bit of SEE and the epic "SEE definitely needs a buff" thread that ran for months Eventually CG decided no changes were necessary. Agree with OP - LV is a tank,not an attacker.

It’s a lame team compared to jml. Who doesn’t love assist after assists LV and company get dazed asap and just sit there being meat bags for the next 3min.

Plus Armorer’s existence.I still think SEE definitely needs a buff, even if it’s more lateral.That's a separate point. The thread I referred to went on for 2 or 3 months IIRC and there was very little word from the developers until the community manager said CG weren't changing anything. The buff you refer to happened months later.

Its almost as if making a GL that does virtually nothing until the 3 minute mark is a bad idea

i doubt were going to hear much for the next few months on this. I guess a GL that gets weaker as the match progresses is WAI.

how does he get weaker

Consumes his allies’ negative mastery from SLKR’s Siphons. Leaves LV doing 1 damage.

Maybe don't use him vs SLKR? How do we know that's not intentional?

Nah just use LV solo against SLKR, easy fix.

And we know it’s intentional from EA_HighCommand

Yet the exact same issue could be possible with JMK but they intentionally wrote into his kit that he cannot gain/hand out negative Mastery.

It's almost pathetic how much they fumble LV's kit in comparison.

A mod (kyno) moved it to the appropriate place.

Simple fix is to replace him with a light side Anakin GL since CG loves LS and would buff him to the moon.

Not surprisingly, Doja realized that CG is very offensive towards his player base and couldn't stand giving answers that CG didn't want to give.
My credit to Doja for putting his judgment above them.

It’s in the same place where the Lord Vader buff & HSTR Sim is ;)
