Basically if I am stacking magic missile while fighting an npc (say 12 times), then get knocked prone and an enemy-PC player walks in to catch me by surprise while I'm still prone, I want to flee or quaff recall. But there's a couple seconds of lag for each of those 12 magic missile commands. By the time I regain my footing, I've probably gotten through 3-4 "you need to regain your footing" responses - I still need to work through the remaining 8-9 magic missile spells before I can do anything else.
In the old days, you get bashed and whatever is stacked clears out in one round.

You are stunned, but will probably recover in a year or two after finding yourself again.
