Either CG is completely incompetent to balance their toons, and they don't care about it.
Or the new Grand Inquisitor will take LV to a new level, so they can't buff him now or he might end up being too OP with the GI later.
I would like to hope it's the second option, but seeing how they handle their game, I'm not too sure which one it is...
Lord Vader is a GL for Gods sake and he is not a standard GL he has the highest requirements. He shouldn't need new legendary character who needs 5 new marquees to unlock.
In my opinion CG already confessed that Lord Vader/Maul is not at the same level as JMK/CAT just by looking at the conquest bosses. Sector 4 Boss is Lord Vader w/Maul, Sector 5 Boss is just JMK. It is crystal clear that we got robed by CG.
They just used Lord Vaders name of how iconic character he is and put the highest requirements, 4 marquees and 1 character that is no use for this game (Tusken Raider) so that they can get enough money to please their bosses.
Based on CG's Tier list, the only thing Galactic Legends are, is top tier for cost of money and resources. Multiple non-GL teams can beat GLs. Conquest characters are supposed to be right up there too, but again StarKiller can take out Rey, the queen of defense, and DB Fett is just "okay". (And Fennec doesn't even need him to beat LV, she can do it with marquee BH.)
It's ridiculous that we keep seeing teams that are able to take out LV, except of course the sector 4 boss in conquest. That should be the player version, THAT is a real Galactic Legend.
"Galactic Legend" appears to just be a marketing technique. A fancy name on a type of character same as "New and Improved!" to make us think they are a big deal when they really aren't, they just have a big price tag. Granted, JMK is the best GL and they remind us of that all the time as they consistently improve his AI and even have his AI set to purposely do his ult at 60% to get around JML's taunt every time, but don't seem to go that deep into the weeds for other GL's. (and even MM teams can beat JML)
Does anyone have success getting refunds for resources spent for LV? Because this is **** ridiculous, it was hardest and most expensive toon to get and yet, it's April 2022 now still the weakest GL. CG is really a big bully, love to spit on the faces of their (paying) players... And they keep releasing stupid toons when there's tons of issues to address. No quality, just quantity, take out the fun! I guess this is the way, for CG.
Looking back, it's ironic that Lord Vader has balance issues since Obi Wan cut his legs off when he tried to gain the high ground. He could have just jumped on to the rocks, but his own arrogance was his downfall.

With the push towards Palps working better with Mara Jade, and judging by the journey event for the inquisitors, I wouldn't be surprised if GI is designed to work with OG Vader rather than the GL. Which also makes sense from a timeline perspective.

It's A.
If it was B, they would just wait and nerf it when it becomes an issue.

Oh, and you can beat JMK/CAT with Padmé/CAT so it's not GL-only.
Lord Vader is great, he can beat Rey🗿
Dont forget that he counters Jawas
Sarcasm. It's sarcasm.
Is that always going to be the excuse? First it was, "You HaVe To WaIT fOr mAul!" Now it's, "YoU hAvE to wAiT fOr iNqUiSitors!!"
Seriously. Just admit they screwed this super expensive toon up and just start over.

like lord vader
ayyyyyyyyy
how does he get weaker
Consumes his allies’ negative mastery from SLKR’s Siphons. Leaves LV doing 1 damage.
Maybe don't use him vs SLKR? How do we know that's not intentional?
Wow ...
U wanna try solo SLK with zombie sisters ?
Nah just use LV solo against SLKR, easy fix.
And we know it’s intentional from EA_HighCommand
Yet the exact same issue could be possible with JMK but they intentionally wrote into his kit that he cannot gain/hand out negative Mastery.
It's almost pathetic how much they fumble LV's kit in comparison.

yeah I agree
