I think it's time we address the issue with stun

I have been one of the strongest proponents of stun teams going way back. I do not support this idea.
Making a character completely miss a turn is a powerful effect. Allowing it to stack would be overpowered.
Timing your stuns is part of using them effectively.
I do think that fixing dodging while stunned is overdue. I also don't think a stunned character should be able to automatically take any action, such as taunting.

Well, if they aren't going to fix the issues, might as well just make it more powerful, right?

Stunning is already the most powerful debuff, it needs no changes.

Stuns are a somewhat strategic choice (which character am I going to keep locked) and the paper to 5's/Dooku's rock of counter attacks. It's fine the way it is.

But you're going to want stacking stuns when 5's is buffed with either group healing ability or the new "submissive opponent" I've been hearing rumors about...

Uh no. With Daka and RG with a Phasma lead you could stun everyone to infinity if it stacked. That's just dumb and yes I use stunners.

Exactly!

+1. Stun is a great mechanic as it is now. Strong, not broken. Don't go screwing it up.

Stun works fine.

But just think of how much better it could be! Fives stunned for 5 turns, and all these people calling for 5's nerfs can stop complaining...or look how effective AA works be with "its a trap". He could literally heal a 7* Kylo or RG from the red. But then I suppose everyone would want him nerfed...

Stun should only remove tm. Stun is just as bad as dodge now.

This is one of the most self-centered and ignorant requests I've seen on here.

Basically: "I run a stun team and want to be able to perma-stun the whole enemy squad and walk through every battle without effort."

Heck no! It's bad enough Daka, Dooku, and RG teams are stunning 4/5 toons at once, there's zero reason to add stacking stuns. If you need that, you should reevaluate your skill level and learn some strategy, because you're terrible.

Lmao! I'm going to go with your last sentence as what is really going on here.

And this would totally balance it, right?

If this is your way of balancing, I seriously consider you to re-think.
Your suggestion will just give rise to another "beast" which will be called for nerfs sooner or later.
Its just gonna be another vicious cycle where one toon sits on the throne for a while before it goes into irrelevance due to the nerf hammer being swung.

Well yeah your stun team would be imba during those halcyon days....which begs the question.
You asking for a change for the better of the game or cause of a personal agenda?

Wow...I read the thread title and thought it was another crappy request. But then I read the content and realized you were going in the entirely opposite direction than I thought you were. That's when I realized your request was even crappier than I originally thought.
