An idea that would make Fives more interesting.
Fives main attack deals physical damage to a target enemy and inflicts speed down for 2 turns. While his passive skill Tactical Awareness grants him a fairly high counter chance with high counter damage. However, he is classified as a "Tank" but lacks tank functionality. e.g. taunts. My idea would be to introduce a new game mechanic of single target taunts. So that you can use this character to act as a blocker. Say his main attack at a certain skill level has a 25% chance to taunt and slow the target. I think that would make this character very valuable and add to the diversity of the game.

He's good already. No need for a taunt.
There are already a lot of conversations around tanks and their role.
A tank does NOT have to taunt to be a tank.
A tank's role is to disrupt the enemy team.
Fives is a good tank. He offers speed debuffs on his basic, allows dps to attack more with his assist and gives a defense buff when he's leader.
Well defense sucks atm but hey, maybe that'll change.
His counter is a threat to the enemy team, because it punishes AoE. If you leave him for the end of the fight, he's gonna be a pain to kill.
He offers a lot of disruption and forces you to make significant strategic choices.
He's a good tank. He does his job. He's balanced.
PS: Don't worry, he'll become better as more clones are added, and his next basic upgrade will proc his basic twice on enemies with speed down.

It would be too powerful. Just taunt a single glass canon and voila, you essentially removed a threat without taking much risk.
He's going to be a tank beast and will dominate if it comes down to 1v1. Unless of course that 1 vs 1 involves Yoda, in which case Yoda beats everyone because foresight.
What? I don't even
Did you actually read this post?
I can see him being great with phasma lead because of her lead ability and fulliside special that inflicts speed down, along with his counters possibly proccing more attacks . Actually this topic is making me rethink my team hehe
What about against heal-blocking characters such as Darth Sidious? I feel like it would be nice to be able to control some opponents such as that to some degree.
Tanks are about damage mitigation, not just a Taunt. Offense Down (Obi, Plo), Defence up (Plo, Ima, Chewy, ext), Slowing the enemy to reduce number of attacks (Rex).
His speed down sticks for two turns allowing it to stay after he counters, making him very annoying to attack early, and his high health makes him anoying to attack late.
He could do a bit more damage, I mean dude did discover the Code 66 secret, but no one believed him.
Edit: @Topic: imo Fives is fine as he is right now.
The fixed payout times are the worst part of this game and makes it absolutely family-unfriendly.
