Unless our hand is forced we generally want to avoid changing vanilla mechanics. We also like to keep most strategies viable and not nerf things so far that they will never be used.
To us, the biggest issue is the lack of counterplay. While you can block debuff arrows with a shield, you currently can't do anything if you do get hit by one (except drinking milk buckets).
Our solution is to add a new potion that is similar to milk but only removes debuffs as opposed to all effects on the player. This prevents the need to carry extra buffs to replace those removed by milk and means you spend less time out of the fight. It also provides us with the flexibility to make more powerful versions of the potion that grant a set time of immunity to debuffs after drunk, or adding splash varients. This will obviously be dependant on balancing and finding the right spot to keep debuff strats viable but also ensure they have appropriate counterplay.
