I've mentioned this in a few other threads but it might need a topic of its own. If FFG and others want to move away from opposed dodge, then perhaps we are looking at the wrong issue.
Perhaps the issue is with a lack of defensive maneuvers, existing defensive maneuvers not being good enough or a lack of protection from cover.
If this can be addressed then I would advocate for limits to dodge and instead enable players to be more tactical in their approach to PC defense.
