JML definitely needs a buff!!

He obviously needs a buff and here are the reasons:
1. He has less Mastery than the other 3 GLs.
2. On top of the previous point, he can't manipulate Mastery, either on his allies or the opponent's team. (Jedi Lessons or legacy doesn't count because it's completely preventable and it's temporary).
3. As said previously, all the buffs JML gives to the squad are completely preventable, dispelable and when they do stick on the toons, their effects are meaningless.
4. His Ultimate does literally nothing, 100% Mastery? He's the only GL that has a limit on how much Mastery he and the squad can gain. The buffs that come with his Ult are, again, useless, they only last two turns and are dispelable.
5. He can be underdoged, beaten by old toons, does nothing special in Raids and just made a good Jedi team for LS GeoTB a little bit better.
6. He's only good paired with the so called "Titans".
IIRC CG said they're looking into him too (not only SEE), so I expect both of them to be buffed.

Not sure what metric you are using. I don’t know a single person with all 4 GLs who thinks Luke is on par.
He is a liability on defense. He does nothing in the raids. On offense you need very expensive teams to compete.
Kylo is competitive without stealing a single character from another team.
I can show you several videos where SEE does the same
So if you're taking that video as your base, SEE doesn't need a buff either
Btw. Rey uses those "expensive toons" for her team as well.
Ah, that's why the whale/kraken guys on my shard that possess all 4 GL's switched from Rey to JML.
Autoing something is not a metric on how strong a team is.
Btw, no, Rey doesn't need to use those toons for her team, but that's another topic.
His ulti is slow AF and honestly.. useless since by time it is up, battle is long over. Other jedis than the so-called titans don't stand a chance.
The above might be valid for SEE, I don't know. This is my uJML experience so far.
You mean when he deals 200k with his AoE AFTER he gets his ultimate and takes another turn, and ONLY deals that dmg against jedi? In fact, my 14k offense SEE with 220% CD doesnt even deal that high dmg against Jedi, who he ignores defense against, and the JML in the Video used a Speed set. Thats ignoring the fact that JML is a tank who protects his team, whereas SEE pretty much does nothing until he gets his ultm
He does not auto Rey teams. He can beat them if he is extremely lucky RNG-wise - but hardly auto. Most of the players in my shard have to switch back to their Rey teams to take down other arena Rey teams.

Mine didn't. They use JML to climb through SLKR - but switch to Rey to fight Rey and leave Rey in on defense.

This is part of the problem with how people argue this point. Personal arena shard experience hardly counts for the community at large. If JML is underperforming or there is an unintended kit interaction, they will buff him. That is it's own discussion. But if we plan to base the argument on how many people brought their shiny new GL into the arena, we won't know if he's underperforming until the meta settles and most of the players who will get him actually unlock him and relic him and mod him etc.
Arguments about his performance should mostly settle on *how* he is underperforming, not numbers alone. Especially since, by this metric, SEE is almost twice as bad as JML and desperately in need of a buff, and all GL's are underperforming compared to SLKR. Individual arena shard data doesn't matter as much as the testimony of people who own the toon.
Agree about not autoing Rey teams, but i win 95% of my fights against my pupil (not bragging, really didn't know it could.be an issue). However, I use Luke as a leader and i had a far harder time against her when I used Jkr lead (ww on Luke hurt her i guess). Or maybe it's a 'my jkr is faster' thing ?
That is interesting.
Which Luke as lead gives you 95% win rate? And against what Rey comps? Seriously curious.

GML, yoda, Hermit, GAS, Revan. I don't have any problems beating any Rey. The problem is other GMLs, in that case revan lead is better.
Still, I'm in for a buff on his ultimate. It is really terrible atm
I field jml lead with the usual suspects: gas, jkl, jkr, hyoda. I fight variations of jedi Rey (Rey lead with gk, Rey lead with hyoda, jkr lead). I use hyoda like a lot with teaching (the student has become the master !) so my team stays in good shape and tank the aoe part of ww and the ultimate. Usually i lose a few comrades during the fight. If hyoda is in with Rey, i don't focus rey and leaver her to the end.
Yeah I have had no issues with rey teams when I ran grumpy luke lead, just takes too much paying attention to charge his ultimate and the jkr team is so much easier to use.
To quote the title of a great underappreciated movie: 'my name is nobody'.
Or over 3 minutes.
Done!
