So, to point of this would be to make builds that lean on speed even more off-meta?

I'm sorry but initiative is a very powerful stat already, while I do think evade is currently a powerful stat, even if it wasn't for whatever reason (as it can just boil down to who's in the fight) that is not at all the point here, the point is removing effects for a extremely little cost effect like skip, its likely not intended for you to be able to remove Painproof or unmoving or geist schritt, or at the very least knockdown immunity as its a huge momentum sway, simply because you're faster than your target is.

Keep in mind a change like this is not going to at all encourage people to be slow, its just gonna allow them to actually utilize skills previously removed easily, even in a speedster vs speedster matchup, one of them is likely going to be slower than the other, this helps them too.
