Turn Order- A checkup
#15
If we are comparing the current iteration of turn order to what it was before, I prefer what it was previously.

In my personal experience, the problems that the new system aimed to address very rarely happened.  Initiative 'races' were always a matter of going first (even in one versus one capacities), and they would still exist with this system if the builds associated with them were powerful in the meta.  Additionally, in the 5+ years I have been playing, I have not seen a single meta squad that stacked high initiative to rush somebody down before they received a turn.  That is not to say it did not happen at all, but suggests to me that it was not a common problem that necessitated sweeping change.

That said, I would be perfectly content with the newer round robin implementation if edge cases and pain points associated with it were addressed.  For example...
  • The defeat of an enemy causes one enemy to receive two turns before your slowest teammate receives theirs, and vice versa.  
  • Getting stunned can promote the now unstunned creature in turn order, bypassing the detrimental status effect entirely.
  • Skip continues to allow characters to take two turns before certain enemies take theirs.
For that reason, I am still (though it was denied during the new system's inception) a proponent for using the current system to determine turn order, then locking those positions in place so that death, revival, etc, do not retroactively modify who goes when.  Skip, like always, remains a pain point.
