Lord Vader Balance Issue

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.

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


    So this would be anakin like 5 min before he turned?

    Confused Anakin Skywalker?


    Yeah that about sums it up

    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.


    They did give SEE a buff with the Great Nerf, though. Now he gains TM when enemies gain locked buffs, which makes him at least difficult to counter with IT. Plus Armorer’s existence.

    I still think SEE definitely needs a buff, even if it’s more lateral.


    They buffed SEE when they released Wampa's omicron...

    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 ;)

    Power Scale between GLs

    5. LV + Maul (GL + Conquest Counterpart)
    6. Rey (GL)
    7. LV (GL) with 3 Relic 8 + Relic 5 Tusken Requirement
    8. SEE (GL)



    SEE is not good enough for being a GL, his design is just awful. He needs Armorer, not a team of Sith.
    But he is way better than LV without Maul. LV without Maul can't do shit. He can solo some SLKR teams, which makes him seems strong, but other than that he's just awful.
    SEE can beat every other GL. LV needs Maul and an arena setup to do that.
