Normal STAB description per NDA:
Raised by user TMan87, the issue about this is that the 3 action cooldown before it takes effect, plus the requirement to match the arena's dominant type, makes it unreliable and often forgotten or enforced. Therefore, there are users whom support changing it. Starting questions will be:+1 BAP on attacks that match dominant arena type after 3 actions. Unable to have Thrash or Outrage disrupted by oncoming damage.
- Do you think Normal STAB requires a rework? Please state the reason behind your stance.
- With effects like Normal STAB requiring a cooldown timer, how do you propose referees and/or battlers remember/enforce it in their battles?
- Given that the arena dominant type is a relic from a previous era, do you think it should be included in standard formats in the future, or should it be relegated into custom/flavour matches?
You may propose any rework you have in mind if your answer to question 1 is "yes", but please be as precise and clear as possible in the mechanics if you want to see it slated. Feedback on other users' proposals are very much welcomed, as is any constructive arguments on why the rework isn't unnecessary. In case I gave off the wrong impression, the vote will start with the first question before Council moves on to the slated details.
I'll track discussion progress in this OP if we get to 2 pages, so fire away ^_^
