    Buff pain damage from acid, a human having flesh literally turned to goo by a bioweapon should not be able to run and shoot. This would also make memey abilities like acid grenade useful as a CC, marines don't currently care about acid grenade damage, primarily due to the fact that it can be healed by a singular dose of kelo, and has minimal side effects outside of a paltry 20something damage.

    Or add in a certain amount of compounding permapain, that requires proper medical attention(nervous system restoration) at an autodoc or surgical bed, to restore. Ideally, the meta would shift from pushing over the dead, setting a timer and trying to hold to perma, to crippling marines with a combination of broken bones and perma pain, pushing whenever you break the lines and retreating when they have been treated and are at a battle ready state.

    I also find medical boring now.. but the removal would just go back to defib spam.. which is also kinda boring.

    Marines and SPECs are already being forced to take additional kelo because acid damage has been raised recently and we acid was never meant to outright end marines. It was always a support role and for sieging. one example where its INASANELY good is breaking splints (essentially as good as fraccing someone) from the edge of a marines screen and a prae can do it in 1 spit. This is exemplified by the fact marines get minimum 2 fracs when they die in melee because of damage creep now. Not to mention they then get to heal the queen by HALF of her health and can store enough to do that twice. On top of all this mairnes usually have 3 uses of tricord and kelo. So they themselves can withstand an encounter with a good prae 3 times before they are forced to find now a full wey-med to refill...

    Xenos already win the battle of attrition so why does yet more permanent damage need to be added.

    Trapper boiler is cancerous enough, given there's no way to physically block it. Adding perma-damage on top will turn the game into dodge-the-endless-ability-circles.
