Helper card concept: EMP-bomb

Stunning for that long would be too op, maybe just slowing movement and camera movement like bullet time does, simulating commotion

3 - 5 seconds stun will be ok instead?

[icy frost]

depends of what we consider a "stun"
Is being flashed a stun? is making the character unresponsive a stun? tampering with their controls or camera?

2nd variant

Yea... anything over 1 second is a death sentence
The TTK for an idle player is very short

You're exaggerating.
In match where even heavier shit may fall upon your head, this card is just another nail to your coffin that won't do much, if you're already about to lose.
From other perspective, you have a solid payback chance with that timeout (especially against literal rats).

I mean
There's a reason why people wins with Painkillers and Frozen guns

Or that Tin man is meta

Seconds were you deny opponent's damage or defense lines start to stack up fast

On the other hand, even with the nicest deck in your layout, FvF is still a poker-like game: if your card combo sucks - you will suck as well.
So if complete stun will be a meta, why not add another one as well so at some point win chance will be equal for each other / one another?
Moreover, this is just another type of bomb you need to learn how to use. It's easy to missthrow any of them anyways, especially on maps with no walls.

Last plus, I didn't prohibited using cards while being stunned.

[icy frost]

so what you're basically proposing is an explosive that works like a bear trap, with the exception that you can't also shoot

which i'd be fine because you'd still be able to counter it with a nuke, iceblock, tin man, etc.

That's the description if you use against players, but it also suppose to work against all electronic stuff as well. It should be like a lightened torch tossed into a burrow filled with Kluster jrs, but I guess for that a better stat description is required.

So how about this:
EMP radius is equal to standard bomb, but for electronics there will be their own radius, within which if another technic is stated, it will be destroyed as well with animated lightning connected to each other.
