My buzz droids literally have not assisted the last 5 GACs. I have gotten beaten by some of the worst capital ships because CG is doing who knows what while their game has been broken for months. Malevalonce has lost so much viability because of this bug. It is literally one of the most worst capital ships because of this bug. Fix this ASAP.

Which means it doesn't get killed so early and severely reduces the chances of seeing the bug.
Mal is a key offense ship for me and rarely lets me down even with the bug.
Which capital ships have you lost to with Malevolence? Executor and Negotiator? A mirror match?
Outside of those 3 Malevolence should still be a pretty hard counter to anything else.
You say that as if no one ever puts Executor, Negotiator and/or other fleets Malevolence should be able to counter are put on defense.
The bug is significant enough that it destroys the "assist" design of malevolence, which means if you don't get any assists you're most likely not going to take out Executor. (The ship that actually does do assists and is working fine.)
I don't think CG liked malevolence beating their new shiny toy anyway. Will that effect the priority of fixing the bug? Tough to say, but ships are neglected anyway.
I’d like them to state which ones it has lost to. That’s all.
Malevolence should be able to have a high win rate against either, but currently it's only really consistent against 1 of the 3 due to the bug. This bothers me, but I doubt CG will ever fix it, looking at their track record with fleet bugs.
but, at the very least, EA has acknowledged the problem and will, maybe, fix it... possibly.. sometime.. if they feel like it.

The 100% to 70% is a false memory from you. The summoned droids always assisted at 70% rate.
i believe they were suppose to have 70% assist but were actually assisting 100% of the time, which is what the fix was about. i will have to double check
They were bugged at release and assisting too much but that was changed way before Executor was released.
UNIT - Updated player version of Vulture Droid to properly assist alongside Malevolence's summoned Vulture Droids.
I’d still like OP to clarify which cap ships have beaten him - failing against Exec or Negotiator is one thing, but I’m not buying that the Vulture Droid assist bug is the reason he’s losing to anything else.
And Vulture Droids have always been bugged in some way since they were added.
I recently lost to thrawn and I believe holdo. I get maybe one assist per battle.
well then guess CG should never fix anything then right? Just leave all the bugs as is.
That said, it is a mildly annoying bug and definitely should be fixed.
Executor also nerfs assists. That's designed that way. As long as you still land the stun that's all that matters
