Useless Toons because of failed A.I.

I understand the reasoning of releasing new toons on a regular basis, but why a lot of toons with great potential are rendered useless with A.I. script that bad:
- Ventress who try to dispel Rey foresight with a Dooku's lead and give offense up to all the ennemies or who prefers try to dispel an undispellable buff (Savage, Chewie,...) than killing 2 ennemies in the red with her AOE, ...
- Qui Gon Jin who uses Humbling Blow to removes Rey's Foresight with a Dooku's Lead and give her offense up, ...
- Mace Windu a master duelist who failed to hit the exposed target every single time (except when there is no one else) ...
- Teebo who uses Bring Low on a target with no buff or taunt, ...
- Old Daka who uses her Chant of Resurrection as soon as an allied toon is defeated regardless of the heal of her teammate, wasting a futur heal, ...
- Ahsoka who uses her Protective Manuever right away, wasting futur heal and potential finisher on a target with less than 50% heal, ...
- Talia who always try to killing herself, using Water of Life regardless of her health, ...
- Ackbar who use his Tactical Genius when all the Special Abilties are on cooldown, ...
- Grand Master Yoda who sometimes uses his Masterstoke right away with no positive status effect on the opposing team, ...
Honorable mention to healers (Bariss excepted) who tries everytime to heal an injured target with healing immunity or tank who waste their taunt cooldown using it with a buff immunity above their head.
We need either all those failed script corrected or a way to make the script on our own like in Dragon Age.

I think Mace is a powerful character, but the AI never attacks the exposed toon, so I usually can ignore him.
It was crazy. He actually did damage!
I feel you on Yoda, he's one of my favorites to use on offense but he's an **** on AI. He always gives his squad just tenacity because he uses it right off the bat
You forgive that Ackbar use "it's a trap" when nobody have red icon.
At least it knows how to focus a little.
However, I doubt they are fixed anytime soon. They are all farmable, not premium toons.
Vader
Ventress
Mace
Ahsoka
Yoda
Any character with a bomb
There are a few characters with significantly better AI that the rest. QGJ for example only uses his dispel on a valid target (well, he still derps on foresight but oh well) while Teebo and Ventress will blow their dispels with wanton abandon.
A Final Fantasy XII / Dragon Age style gambit system to set up our own if/and/or statements for each character would be amaaazing. Also a ton of work so unlikely any time soon if ever.
If at least [2 allies] or [Rey, QGJ] < [60%] HP use [Master Healer's Belssing]
If at least [3 enemies] have [buffs] or [1 enemy] has [taunt] use [Strike Fear]
etc.
Vader's AI is fine, but I 100% agree on the rest.

Vader would be better if he didn't saber throw when there's no dots in place.
*confused*
On defense with her, I drop like a lead balloon.
Thats why I wish they would allow us to create a separate defense team. Dungeon Boss has this feature and it helps a lot. At least we would be able to assemble a team that could adequately compensate for stoopid AI. Probably the only solution would be to use lots of tanky assist toons that don't require much decision making. They just shoot a lot and take lots of damage.
(amazing, the censor does not permit the word ****. I suppose I should try to be more erudite and use the term 'unintelligent'.)
F**K! I hate political correctness.
No it really isn't.
There are lots of issues to be fixed with some toons who have more than 2 skills. Asajj and Yoda are nice examples. Most of their specials are used on incorrect times.
And I remember a dev stating that,
"if we improve the AI too much, then players will just play all the time with automatic mode and quit the manuel directing, which is not something we want."
Chewie should be able to give himself speed down
