Tenacity Up is slowly killing this game!
Tenacity Up (as it is now: debuff immunity, and how easily available it is) is shutting down about one third of the creative possibilities of this game. What is this game about? Kill your opponents...

this was a good read.. my 2 cents.
when tenacity up was designed they had a choice to increase tenacity % by a reasonable amount but they went with full immunity. That is not entirely a bad thing but it closed the door to its natural opposite potency up, as potency up did just that, then a % increase doesnt quite compare. So now potency and tenacity leads were moved to the sidelines as a side effect (still has their uses)
That alone prevented many setups to come into being with squads that were loaded with potency vs squads loaded with tenacity.. and make it a stats battle.
So now then the strat that has the best results for you to play debuffs is to add a dispeler to get rid of the tenacity up.
Now as mechanics are most probably already set in stone when there are combos of a cleanse + apply tenacity up.. most logical counter will be dispel + apply desired debuff skill. think b2 or dt granade.
it will be more natural to add skills that dispel + debuff than to add this cant resist and immune shenanigans. Leave those to really special characters.
And lastly imo tenacity up will not kill this game
