Stun bombs as a Debuff are a "negative action", they "take" something from the target. An extremely lethal environment is not really conductive to fun and engaging matches, consider this is a current ongoing issue and it will be significantly aggravated by Stun mechanics. Increased lethality invariably generates a "negative" impact on the meta, increasing the player skill gap and promoting a more cautious, speculative, passive play style. High tiers are already plagued by the problem of ever increasing lethality, with Superships literaly turning up the volume to 11. what makes you think that pilling an even more grievous element on top of spotting would be a good idea?.Īn additional issue to consider is how the Stun mechanic will negatively impact ship survivability. If the spotting "problem" hasn't been resolved 3 years after the rework, and is still an open wound in the game.
All those are central balance elements for every ship, which now could be removed at will by another player. Ships will lose their distinctive identity: Smoke ships, will lose smoke. With Stun bombs we find an even worse version of the spotting issue as this ability breaks not only Concealment, but also breaks the use of ships consumables, which are also a central balancing factor for all ship. This Imo is what makes that ability obnoxious to many players, one player is given "absolute" power to negate a cardinal Characteristic of a ship. Plane spotting is a wild card, unaccountable and under some circumstances unavoidable. Other forms of Concealment break like Radar/Hydro can be accounted for, played around, evaded or mitigated. Concealment is a very critical balancing variable, many ships are built around Concealment and resent the fact that their cardinal advantage can be taken from them without a clear way to counterplay. One of the most problematic issues about CVs is their ability to break at will a "cardinal" element of the game: Concealment.
" Understanding that just saying "The players as a whole, are unified in their dislike of the idea of Stun Bombs" might carry some dramatic impact but not much detail, let me add some more logs to the pyre of Stun Bombs.
