Sooooooo.....we're back to talking about how a Dice Roll for chance on status effects coming back in some form, such as we had in Div:OS, is better than a straight up No Armor = Perma CC?
Man, we keep coming full circle to that; this is why'd I'd simply like them to try bringing back the old defensive stats for an iteration and seeing how it's received. Just don't make them as effective as last time since we do have the armor system.
EDIT: Does leadership effect yourself as well as teammates?
