What's the Worst Stun in Gaming?
- Thread starter TheGreatDirector
- Start date
Getting knocked down on Secret of Mana. Enemies can keep attacking your helpless corpse since they dont need to charge up for an attack. The werewolves were particularly evil about this.
Don't get fooled by that cute face.
Brigitte from Overwatch. The #DeleteBrig movement says it all.
every time i get paralyzed in pokemon since i have the worst luck in the world
but for a less subjective answer, yeah stun lancers in xcom 2 suck ass

I didn't really have anything in mind coming into this thread but hoooooly shit this one's really bad
People on this site actually want this game to be remastered lol
Took way too long for Monster Hunter to get mentioned (shout out to Diablos when I fought him the first 10 times).Also fuck this monster:
play pso 1 v1 and get stunlocked into oblivion by trash mobs because theres no after hit invincibility frames that allow you to try and maneuver out of a bad situation or fight back.
Lost Planet 1 was a big offender imo. You could just get chained between stagger animations while your life chipped away and your inputs did nothing.
Accidentally hitting a chair or something mid dive in Max Payne 3 then having to watch Max ragdoll for an eternity before he gets his fat ass back off the ground.
In a game where you 90% of the time feel like an amazing badass its like the game put in a built in ego check

Getting hit by Wrap/Fire Spin in Pokemon Gen 1 was pretty annoying, as it just left you immobilised for several turns while your health got chipped away.
3 seconds during a teamfight is an eternity in LoL and became worse as the game pace increased. Thankfully these were patched and reduced several years ago.
The real worst stuns to deal with in Monster Hunter are Khezu roars.
If you don't block/dodge the roar, you'll get hit by the next roar. And the next roar. And the next roar.
I've had Khezu sit on its ass and roar 5 times in a row. It doesn't even do damage. All it does is waste time.

Because only a few monsters cause tremors. All monsters can dizzy you.
'Well-timed mace stuns' from Warriors circa S3ish in WoW arena. For those who don't know it, warriors had a random, 10% chance or whatever to trigger a stun with every attack, which due to RNG, would sometimes just absolutely shut you down at random.
Was a sarcastic remark that became popular because you'd get terrible warriors pretty high on the ladder, since their job was to just sit around and get lucky eventually.

Can you shield stun through shields still?Brigitte's shield stun is the most annoying thing in Overwatch for me. They've nerfed her since her introduction but it did it's damage for me. I angrily aggro this character whenever I see them on the enemy team.
WoW classic stun lock rogues were fun to be and frustrating to be against.
Long before WoW though, Meridian 59 stun lock Qor mages could "hold" you and burn you with acid touch till you died, and nothing you could do about it lol. Qor PK'ers were the plague of that game for a long time.
EDIT: Note about M59... when you died, you dropped all your gear on the ground for the PKer to sift through. Only the gear you had equipped would stay with you. And only gold you had in the bank would be safe. Everything else. Gone.

Either of the two "small" colossi in Shadow of the Colossus. If they ram you, you have just enough time to get up before they hit you again, unless the colossus randomly charges in early, in which case you're stunlocked until you're dead.
In WoW: Burning Crusade pvp, Warriors could use a 2handed Mace called Storm Herald that would stun you for 4s, and it could proc extra stuns while you were stunned, also they had more than 1 ability that could also stun you to weave in, if you actually got a moment of not being stunned. Being a cloth healer was pretty frustrating during this time.
Not really a stun, but anyone who played Destiny 2 knows that fucking mission at the start of the game where you have to slowlllllly walk to exit the city is actually the worst stun in a game.
Yeah this has to be the one.
I ran a full backstab DPS undead rogue and my friend had a stunlock orc rogue w/engineering.
I remember one time when we traveled into low level alliance areas ganking until finally some higher level took notice and tried to hunt us down.
We set up the perfect trap that still gives me a laugh to this day. I played the bait and had the would-be alliance hero chase me into a river,
where my friend was hiding stealthed with his crafted underwater helm. We ended up just double team stun locking him until he drowned.
Enfeebled in Sekiro is pretty bad. Pretty much just able to watch yourself get killed while being able to slowly slowy slowly try to get away. From the wiki:
I vote for the Monster Hunter shock status.
Especially bad in the older games where your character does that stupid "electrified" animation as they fall over. Infuriating.
This has to be one of the greatest video game gifs of all time.
Love how at the end they just sit there, utterly broken.

However, you can still do this.
