The Potency/Tenacity Problem
The uselessness of raw tenacity has long been known, but the return of Palpatine to the meta is a perfect example of how unbalanced potency vs tenacity is. I’ve been theory crafting some counters ...

the ability to debuff is way more important than the ability to resist debuffs, that's why tenacity sucks and that's why it's a good thing that it sucks.
I don’t understand this logic at all.
If the characters ability to inflict debuffs is so essential (I agree it is for many characters), then investing in potency should be important. Right now potency is useless because tenacity is useless. This means these characters that rely on debuffs can invest in protection/offense/speed/etc instead of potency, since there is no threat of high tenacity characters running around.
I guess what I’m saying is I’m fine if a character who goes all out on potency can get it so high that their debuffs can’t be resisted. But require them to invest in potency. Make it so a team that goes all out on tenacity against a team that completely ignores potency will resist almost everything.
