False. It's totally different than the current system. Because you're adding random chance back in.
No it doesn't. My method allowing non-heavy damage CC skill has an use sooner than current one.
Just ask everyone. If you don't go full damage on everyone on squad, you're playing it wrong (seriously?). This also partly get rid of bloated stat somehow (a band-aid); because you don't really need to strip 100% to CC. You can bet your luck half the armor.
Many thing are hard-coded into the game and cannot be changed in anyway, like damage type. Also keep how physical CC only affect physical armor and vice versa. Don't mix two up.
