Empire allies have +15% Max Protection, +25% Offense, and gain 20% Turn Meter whenever they Resist a detrimental effect or suffer a debuff. Whenever an Empire ally gains or loses a status effect, they recover 2% Protection. Thrawn gains a new Special ability, Maneuver: Dispel all debuffs on all allies and grant them their opposite buffs, if any, for 2 turns (Cooldown 4).
Now only Thrawn gains Maneuver, but he can cleanse all allies instead of every single one having to individually cleanse himself. And the cooldown is increased from 3 to 4 turns.
Thrawn is the best unit in the game. He does not need buffed. Nor does his lead, which is arguably the second best in the Empire faction, after Palpatine, which is one of the best in the game. The only reason Thrawn's lead doesn't see much use is because the AI isn't good at determining when it should use Maneuver.

Maneuver does need changed. It’s a negative on defense and would be better if it didn’t exist. It’s frustraring that Thrawn lead is a perfect counter to debuff heavy teams, but it doesn’t work because the AI butchers that ability so bad.
Use it in the sith raid to reduce cooldowns and don't use him as leader elsewhere. Problem solved.
Basically saying “don’t use him” is hardly problem solved. If I was to make a list of 50 things I want changed with the game this probably wouldn’t even be considered, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a problem that a zeta lead is nearly useless because the AI butchers it.

My statement stands.
