A tank that starts the round taunting?????

People have had this idea in the past (like giving it to JKG or old Ben), but we've seen no interest from the devs.

Like any other idea, it would be cool, unique, and viable so long as its overall perceived power falls in line with the rest of the passives and overall character strength.

In this case such a unit would be easily countered by someone like QGJ who would be able to remove it very quickly.

I would consider it to be in the same class as RG being an auto taunt... but less powerful because it only triggers once.

Yeah but at least it would give toons like Rey a chance to get set up with whatever buffs they need.

Then it would go back to QGJ lead to remove that taunt ASAP in my opinion. It would be a good way to kill off the dodge meta.

Good I'm tired of All of the Old Bens and Dooku's in Arena.

I would prefer a unit wit ha "targeted taunt". Select enemy, that unit alone is taunted to attack your tank. Its limitation is obvious but it would have to be cleansed instead of dispelled. The current uses for cleanse characters are very limited.

It would be cool if they made a character that synergized with a group and stuff...... For exappmle, Ki Adi Mundi.... Jedi tank who starts the round taunting, and has a 15% chance to taunt each time an ally jedi is damaged or is evaded.....Thats just an example with a character that isnt even in the roster; but you get the picture

Someone started a thread regarding a FO Stormtrooper doing that. I felt it was a beautiful idea.

The issue lies with dispelling. Sure, tank taunts first, QGJ dispels, starts the other team off with full power and offense up.

It's a trap!

this is a swell point you got here

AA (L)
Stormtrooper Han
Leia
HRS
RG
You start the round off with heavy damage by Leia and HRS possibly killing or stunning QGJ. Then you follow up with a taunt by Han and even if somehow that taunt was dispelled you have RG for an extra taunt.
