Defense up/down buff/debuff rework

I think it would make the game much more interesting if defense played a more prominent roll in damage calculations. Then toons that give defense buffs/debuffs would be more useful and make gameplay a little more diverse. For example, I would imagine that if you gave an opponent defense down, it would behave in a similar way as giving all your toons an offense up buff when attacking that target. Or if you give your team defense up, it would be similar to giving the oposing team offense down. Then people might actually want to use RGs special, and it would make ima gun di more useful. Right now, offense buffs/debuffs are way more useful than defense ones and it makes the game more boring.

I always thought it should be this way. Defense needs to be more important

It could work like evansion buff/debuff. Just a straight % off damage.
DU: 15% reduced damage taken
DD: 15% increased damage taken

Edit:
This would also make Chewwy a much better leader. Everyone procing 15% damage reduction buffs means the ENTIRE team is tankier as a whole. It would make other characters (like RG) better since he can provide a useful benefit as well. Right now? Popping def up on RG is a waste of a turn when you could be stunning.

Summoners War has done a good job with defense, imo. But yes, I agree, I like the idea of defense down/up having more importance. More important than evasion, especially.

Yep, I wish defense mattered.

Right now defense is meaningless

Oh I'm afraid my defense up will be operational when your team arrives(after CG fixes it I will be UNSTOPPABLE)

yeah, chewy would be awesome. I think they intend it to make more of a difference since they have these character abilities. It's just not implemented correctly. It would be cool to see defense heavy teams just like there are speed teams, offense teams, or evasion teams in the arena.

Just imagine if it ends up being set to 50 percent damage reduction.(Plo Koon will finally be meta!)
