I'm not even saying this because I think he's horribly overpowered or anything, but if no one else in the game can use an ability while stunned or ability blocked RG shouldn't be able to either.
I thought it was a glitch but it's happened twice. They need to make this fix because it doesn't make sense for a stunned or ability blocked toon to use an ability.

I am thinking this came up in one of their meetings, and is WAI.
No, they don't
If stun was changed to lock out passive abilities, that would have to include Kylo Ren's ability reset, Sidious' heal regen on enemy death, Daka's revive (her passive ability, not the group heal+revive), Barriss' debuff remover, and so on - all of which are passive abilities that activate on a predetermined trigger.
This would make stun ridiculously overpowered.
Something used on opponents is an active skill. That's why everyone else has to actually use taunt. But I guess it would nerf the character too badly and defeat the purpose if it was an active skill. But to use an ability on opponents while stunned makes no sense to me.
+1 We do not need Luminaras everywhere.
Too late!
Other peoples' unique skills are passive skills, not an active skill for everyone else that uses it turned into a passive skill.
5's can't counter when he's stunned. Why? Because shooting someone is an active skill.
Read what I wrote. I never mentioned or used the word stun. All characters including 5's that have a counter attack unique can counter when ability blocked .
Counter essentially activates your basic attack, and basic attacks can't be used while stunned. Passive abilities are their own unique ability - again, you'd be ok with stun stopping the passives of Kylo Ren, Barriss, Sidious, Daka, etc. from activating?
You're confused. Active skills are skills which require manual input. Passive skills are skills that do not require manual input. Your definition of passive and active skills is different from the dictionary's definition and the logic used in mmos and mobas.
Awsome description for RG. They should change it in game!
Again, taunt is an active ability for everyone else, they/player has to activate it. Passives are abilities that just happen naturally, no one ever has to active them, they happen on their own.
They took an active ability and made it a passive for one toon. That's my issue with it. I'm not even saying he's overpowered, that just doesn't make sense.
Debuff removal is an active ability for Ackbar and a passive ability (albeit, with limited application) for Barriss. At this point you're just stubbornly picking on RG because you can't out-play the people who use one.
You are wanting to change 2 things.
One is activation while stunned and the other is activation while ability blocked.
If ability block can stop RG taunt, it should then also stop counter attacks and other unique abilities. Why does it need to be specific to RG unique?
Never said I had any issue with RG, or even said he was overpowered. All I said was that I saw something happen twice and didn't think it made sense. Didn't even say it caused me to lose a fight.
Because RG is overpowered wah wah wah
>.<
You have this preconceived notion that taunt MUST be an active skill. And you formulate your argument around that.
A red apple is red. all red things are not necessarily red apples.
Active skills are skills that require user input.Most taunts in mobas/mmos require user input.Therefore taunts that require user input are active skills.However, not all taunts are necessarily active skills.
You're playing a game where people wave lightsabers and throw lightning at each other.Does that make sense?Yet you have a problem with RG.
lol
Well it's active for everyone else in the game, that's why.
But the last part actually made me laugh lol, perhaps I am overthinking this.
