So youtube is blowing up with people beating LV + Maul with R7 and 8 JML, some even without GAS and JKL. Guess R9 JML was the real next meta all along.

I am confirming that the AI is not hard coded to target CAT. It's not, and that doesnt seem to be a solution to anyone's problems.
Everyone knows it’s not coded that way. But you said WAI. Meaning it’s working as intended….walking that back?
Sorry, I misread what they were asking for WAI. Thought the discussion was targeting, not CD increase. Would need more than screen shots to being this up, but I can ask. The CD increase should be always there if Maul has 5 stacks
So the developers do not want maul targeting cat every time? Even though mk targets cat every time?
Maul uses his 5 attack once on CAT, once on GK, then Fervent Rush GK (36% charge)
LV's next turn is Harbinger to gain around 30% charge (66% charge)
Maul's next turn, you can use the 5 attack on CAT x1, GK x1 again, and another Fervent Rush (100% charge)
This puts buff immunity on GK and removes his taunt completely, allowing you to go after Snips who has the lowest H+P by far to trip the savior early. Darth Vader's second/third turn (I forget which, have only ran this strat twice tonight) is a Culling Blade that kills GK (should have 20+ debuffs) BEFORE JMK has the chance to ult.
The downside to this is that LV enters ult with only Harbinger off of cooldown - Unshackled still needs 1 more turn.

Yeah LV has his moments, but I think the issue is that Kenobi can just turn his brain off and still beat LV easily, whereas Vader needs specific strategies + a little bit of RNG to beat Kenobi before the timer runs out. If anything LV + Maul feels like a slightly better JML team. Hell, swap LVs ultimate for a slightly adjusted JML ult and hed be 10 times better.

That would certainly be one improvement. What I would love to see is Ashes of the Republic turning all LV's debuffs into locked versions. Ulting first and popping off a mega Unshackled is amazing until JMK ults and just cleanses everyone.
Absolutely. Seeing that sea of dots just disappear hurts your soul

1) when DV finally goes into MM he saber tosses GK just to follow it up with a basic on GK, completely ignoring all the other enemies and wasting his MM
2) Maul also focuses GK when he absolutely shouldn't - not only does he still target GK with his first seething (at 5 stacks where he could ignore taunt) but even when GK has damage immunity he's still wasting all his attacks nonetheless
He’s coded terribly, but apparently that’s what CG wanted. The most expensive GL to date, to be the worst.
