LV/Maul [MERGE]
His AI is awful. Overall if they are going to make shiney new toys worse than the previous, what’s the point? He should be targeting CAT 100% on the time with the CD increase. But instead it’s rand...

Something the Devs are really strong towards is rewarding the player for investing more into characters and units in game.
The nerfpocalypse derived off of the fact that CG wants characters of the same investment to be able to beat each other and units with lower investment to struggle / not be able to beat them.
With this being said, they haven’t followed through on practically any of their intentions of rewarding investment.
JMK & LV:
Since it’s clear all GLs aren’t equals (Sith Eternal exists) that argument doesn’t really matter anymore.
Lord Vader has currently been a fairly underwhelming and disappointing unit. Considering he’s the most expensive unit in game:
(Requires 2x more R8s & 4x More Kyro-heavy marquees than JMK)
It would be expected that he would be amazing and have the best team in game (Especially since Maul is the hardest conquest unit to get while CAT was the easiest conquest unit to get upon their releases)
However that’s not the case, on offense, he’s solid and can usually get the job done. But on defense it’s just laughable. JMK can auto him & can get full 60 banner wins, JML isn’t having too much trouble with the right comp and the top guilds have found a Rey comp that can auto LV & Maul squads. (Can’t disclose this info yet since they want a competitive advantage for PVP). While JMK can do it on both ends while being miles cheaper than LV.
Lord Vader currently isn’t worth his massive investment and gives players who invest into him a large disadvantage as they’ll have less resources for the next GL who will be the top GL in arena.
It’s clear he needs to be buffed like JMK was because the difference is just too large between investment & performance.
Executor:
2 main issues with this ship:
1. Upgrading the ability “We only need to keep them from escaping” makes the ship much worse and people who don’t have the ability upgrades are given a competitive advantage because they didn’t fully invest into the ship.
2. A lower geared / demodded BAM is superior for the Razor Crest because a slower RC can cleanse itself while keeping the enemy RC breached. Again, penalizing players who invest more into their team.
Side note:
CRancor: With the equalization of R8 mats, there’s no longer a reason to post the most damage in the raid. Because the lower ranks give much better gear rewards than the higher ranks. Which rewards the player for doing less.
KAM - Lots of people argue the taunt omega makes him worse which again, shows that underinvesting in a character provides a competitive advantage.
It’s kinda funny how CG goes against their word with this. Especially since it shows that investing less (spending less in some instances) just gives players a much stronger advantage in the game. Hopefully some of these can be addressed (Mainly Lord Vader / Executor) because it’s annoying to the player & hurts CG financially as well.
