If Poe was to be nerfed, how should he be nerfed?

I personally think we need to wait till TRUE endgame to nerf anyone. But with all the OP cries he's probably going to get nerfed.

Get rid of 10% turn meter down so your whole team goes before the other.

If they decide to change abilities on somebody, I think it's only fair that they provide a way to refund the gear and ability tokens that one used to get that character up. If somebody spends weeks gearing up and getting materials to get to a level and then they change the abilities of that character it is not only a game changer, it's pretty unfair to the players.
With Barriss they refunded $$, that is one way to do it, but for a Poe or a TF (or an ewok even) there might not be that avenue. This might make things a little more palatable. I know other games have used this method and it does lessen the sting of the nerf bat.
.... And before anyone says "He was OP" or "They should have known", remember the bat might fall on you next time.
Just a suggestion, I really like this game and don't want to see it affected in these early stages by unforeseen circumstances. Adjustments will inevitably have to be made for balance, but try to make it fair for the player base.
I just hate to see another F2P toon Nerfed..
I wonder what makes you want to nerf him.
One thing is "OP" and gets nerfed then another thing that never was mentioned before is now "OP" because it's getting more attention and the vicious cycle continues
QGJ is an example of how to get rid of poe's taunt. I trade places with a guy for 1 spot in arena. He runs lumi, jc, barris, qgj, and fotp.
I like that idea. I think that would work.
Nobody gives a darn about the taunt
Wrong. I run a 7* qgj in gear 8. Sure you can drop his taunt, but that's after 2 or 3 of your characters are dead and poe has done his job. His job that there is no counter for.
Even without turn reduction, poe would still be a powerful character, as there is only 3 people that could drop his taunt, and only qgj is fast. But I would be all for resisting as well. That gives reason start useing toons like aayla or fisto as leader
The problem is people die to fast. If Poe was just a target for one turn, died, and both teams started the "second round" at 4 v 4, he wouldn't be overpowered.
If they are going to nerf Poe though, they should at least replace the turn meter reduction with something that helps resistance. I would say two turns of speed up for Resistance team-members and 10% turn meter boost for Resistance on the last level up (the one that jumps the reduction from 20 to 25%).
When QGJ removes the taunt, the damage is already done
Also think the option to resist the turn meter AOE is much, much better. While Poe is the main turn meter culprit today there are others out there.
Make all turn meter penalties resistable
I'm for slowing him so a few players will go before him to give you a shot, or removing his turn meter down so you are not a sitting duck for 1 shot toons.
Regardless I think tenacity needs to go down whichever. He is next to impossible to stun. I face him over a dozen times per day with fully leveled stunners like Daka, Luke, Ventress, Dooku and if I stun him 1/12 or 12 that is a lot. Heal immune sticks maybe 1/4.
Yes I can beat teams with him, but I also lose to them too, nature of the beast. His overall package though "leaves other tanks in the dust and makes them obsolete" Which was EXACTLY why Barriss was nerfed we were told.
Yeah $500 is one way to lessen the effect. Any other idea?
