Worst lightsaber duelists
In the SW mythos incompetence gets people killed, and there are many showings of weak duelists who die in combat. But who are the worst duelists by feats and showings, guys who get slaughtered by less skilled opponents, die to non force sensitives, and who generally didn't impress with blades. Who do you think are the worst lightsaber duelists in the mythos?

Sure, but he also has a lot of experience, is good enough to keep his saber from being destroyed, and he doesn't get injured every time.
If he was too weak, then he couldn't attack and kill groups of Jedi like he did even with immortality.
Volffe Karko was a useless duellist. He had to rely almost entirely on his Force powers. In a straight-up duel I bet start-of-series Kanan would trounce him, as would Johun Othone.
Darth Plagueis wasn't terrible but he wasn't particularly good either. Early in his career perhaps he was (when his own master declared him an expert), but afterwards his skills almost certainly atrophied.
Darth Zannah was good at what she did but was severely limited due to being overspecialised. Having a super-defence is great but it's not very helpful if you're in a hurry and don't have time to wait for the enemy to tire. Sometimes you need to take the initiative.

Yeah, so atrophied that Sidious was totally confident about facing him in combat so he just didn't find the need to kill him in his sleep.
Ohwait.

Oh wait, this thread is about duelling skills ONLY.
I'm sure that if Palpatine had faced him in battle it would have been a pure swordfight with neither side using the Force to crush each other or throwing lightning around or any of that stuff.
Oh wait.
