Lord Vader is a bust?

They weren't making enough money with just the exorbitant amounts people were spending on GLs, so they had to extend the costs to Conquest as well. Seems like the approach going forward is that even if you have a GL, you'll also have to invest in a Conquest character to compete with the top level meta. Game is becoming less about gameplay and more about purely money more and more every day.

This is literally the same reaction people had to GL Kenobi when he was released, until Commander Tano joined him. Now he's dominating everything. People have short memories, and no patience.

You’re missing Maul. It’s not enough to whale out on GLs anymore. In order to have the optimum team you have to get the shiny new character from three months of grindquest... oh I mean Conquest.

But seriously Maul is supposed to make the team better and without the ultimate he’s fairly weak from what I hear.

He sucks without his ultimate. I couldn’t kill a Bo lead team with him in Conquest. He doesn’t hit hard enough. They had 1600+ stacks of their locked buff too. He’s tanky. I’ll give him that

Kenobi could kill things without his ultimate. I was running him in arena with 3 zetas and no ultimate and holding. LV is weak. Thicc but weak

The fact that you're suggesting you have to wait 3+ months and invest a ton of time into a completely ruined game mode for a GL to be competitive is ridiculous to expect people to do. If you dump resources into the absolutely ludicrous requirements that Lord Vader needs, you should be rewarded with an extremely powerful character based on that effort alone.

Basher isn't suggesting it, CG has stated it as fact.

You might not be waiting 3 months plus as I think CG are going to try and make up for the Conquest hiatus.

I’ve had Lord Vader for a couple of days now and he’s not that good against other GLs. I’m about halfway to ultimate but really not impressed with him. A few friends have the ultimate already and he doesn’t seem to be that much better with it.

Better Call Maul.

Doesn't mean people should be ok with accepting it. The higher they raise the stakes, the smaller this game's audience will shrink.

Have you tried LV against all 5 GLs yet without Ultimate Lord Vader? How does he do against each GL with their ultimates?
