What if 'Ability Block' blocked auto-abilities?
This is just a healthy discussion, no need for lighting of torches or sharpening of pitchforks...
There is an obvious application for this, it would stop RG from auto-taunting. Is that game-breaking for RG? Is it too powerful? Does it create a slippery slope for other effects that can automatically get applied that would otherwise be applied by a special ability?
Just food for thought, seeing as how RG rises above the rest of the pack primarily for his ability to get around ability block / stun / -TM with his auto-taunt, whereas every other taunt in the game is subject to those weaknesses.
Feel free to discuss.

Does she block passives?
No. She only stop buffs from activation in a character. Thus RG can't taunt. But she's so inconsistent with it, it's practically useless.
No she does not.
All she has is this: Deal Physcial damage to target enemy with a 60% chance to render the target immune to positive status effects for 2 turns.
Ah, yes. Indeed
The way to mitigate this is make RG your first target, get him before he can become a problem. Yeah he has a deep health pool, but blocking anything is so much of a gimmick it's not worth even attempting. You are taking one of your active actions to have a CHANCE to block one of theirs..
Only time I block is when its AOE, like HK-47, Old Ben, and Jedi Knight Guardian. That's why I play them, but they don't block passive either but if you block OTHER people from doing damage while you take on RG this would make RG much easier to deal with.
So if you had teams identical would it be a 50 / 50 chance? I don't think so, it all comes down to some strategy.. so how do those people get around RG auto taunt, they must have a way to deal with it.
He can't taunt on his own. He has to be triggered. A wise player can use that to their advantage.
That's right!!! What an under-utilized ability! Then COMPLETELY ignore that whole thing about ability block...
We should have more buff immunity in the game.
nah they will never do it. Look at sun fac who's supposed to be the counter to rg with his dispel on his basic. Yes, he can dispel every turn with his basic,and has a great kit that allows him to taunt,counter,heal and apply crit down. Expect every decent counter to meta toons to be locked behind a pay wall.
btw if you can't figure a way past RG then don't expect to rank higher. Most shards have a fair proportion of RGs or have dealt with Rg teams on multiple occasions. Everyone beats everyone,RG or not, except for the whale teams with good setups.
I run droids... I really only know of one way to deal with RG
The topic wasn't a "help me deal with RG" as I do a pretty decent job of handling him, it was more about considering ability block and it's role in the game.
@Zekex
I agree with you about Sun Fac, though. The very best will most likely be behind pay walls for some time and I understand this. Not what the thread was about, mind you.
There you go, there is a character that can do it, it's a different ability. My point is that there are already numerous ways to deal with his taunt, and ability block or stun is not one of them.
Anakin
I'd like to see buff immunity expanded to more toons. Being able to block Rey from gaining foresight or RG from gaining taunt or everyone from gaining Oup if it was an AOE.
I think there is space for a toon or multiple toons like that.
It'd be a great way to give currently underused toons more in their kit to make them more desireable. Seems like a WIN-WIN situation.
You are saying Anakin isnt useless? Interesting. I agree.
He has a higher potency too.
You just spent all morning arguing with me that he is useless...
Have you changed your position?
I never said he was useless. You keep using that term. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Did you know, Turtles only leave the sea for short periods of time to lay eggs and troll forum posts?
Turtle facts!
OP, i am sorry @Timitock got off topic for a personal attack, but I want to prove him wrong and hopefully show him why everyone thinks he is a troll. He says I said Anakin is "useless." The correct terminology was:
If you haven't noticed, that is the definition of useless to sheep and trolls.
