Thermal Detonator Rework
We all know thermal detonators are one of the worst debuffs in the game. Here are a few ideas that I think would make them a useful debuff. 1. After a detonator explodes and does damage inflict stun...

It seems like this mechanic has been pretty much abandoned by the devs, or it's WAI, so this might be an exercise in futility. But here is how I think detonators should work anyway.
They can be dodged, but not resisted.
They can be dispelled.
Once applied, they will explode after 5 heroes end their turns - ally or enemy - not counting the turn that applied the detonator. This acts as the countdown. Alternatively, they have their own speed meter (speed 150), but that might be too difficult to implement.
A critical hit on a hero with a detonator gives it a 50% chance to explode.
If other detonators exist on the same hero or their allies, there is a 50% chance for each to explode whenever a detonator explodes.
For each additional detonator that explodes in a single chain reaction, damage is increased by 20% for all detonators.
An exploding detonator has a 25% chance each to apply stagger, daze, stun, or add a DoT to the hero it was applied to.
Right now an attack that only applies a detonator is only marginally better than losing a turn due to stun.
