CG, thanks for checking this issue. Since your last update, LV struggles a lot more against other GLs like JMK and JML. I used the same starting squad (LV, maul, RG, DV, piett) before and after against the same squads. Before I won all the time against JMK (GAS, ahsoka, cat, GK) in about 3 min with 4-5 toons surviving at the end. Now, the win rate has dropped significantly and if I win, only LV is alive and I must "auto" the fight if I don't want to potentially timeout.I understand that LV is terrible on defense but now he's also terrible on offense (the amount of banners lost in GAC is now insane). Please, remove this "fix" or give him the ability to ignore taunt when he's activated his ultimate. Like that you would fix the slkr-nightsisters cheese at the same time ;-)

What a stupid toon. Everything about him. His kit is stupid. Big health, and damage over time. How utterly and tragically boring for Lord Vader. His team is stupid. It’s just so desperately boring, has little synergy beyond the big health from LV, and breaks up so many teams. Tragic. They changed the entire game for this terrible character. The great nerf of 2021, all those beloved characters changed, for this guy, and he doesn’t even work anyway. So they keep changing more. All for the most boring and utterly tragic character in the whole game. Not even just the most boring GL, the most boring character and team in the game. Phoenix have a better kit than Lord Vader. CG absolutely dropped the ball on this iconic character.

Don't forget to look at his story in the movies for in-game realism1) He lost to a solo JMK2) He was killed by a solo pre-SEE PalpatineHim not beating everything in existence in-game is consistent

I don't know why everyone insists on trying to compare in-universe lore to the game. It has been stated numerous times that game balance takes priority over lore. Padme could never 1v1 Mace Windu. SLKR couldn't beat SEE. Stop bringing this up, it's irrelevant in the context of game balance. The most expensive GL in the game should be more dominant in the game, especially in conjunction with a Conquest character.

Lol how are you supposed to infer that based on what was posted? It's pure text, not sure how you are supposed to pick up on any nuance that it's a joke

I hoped when they announced Lord Vader, he will start the game in his cape and his ultimate turns him into Vader in dark armor. That way it would be a GL version of the most iconic character of Star Wars.
