Mysterio is affected by ability reduction

We all know that while his helmet is active, Mysterio is immune to concussion and any AAR.
Well... I found out that, against the Glancing mechanics, he suffer from ability reduction.
Video proof here: at 60 seconds I land my 5th hit, a medium hit. That hit has been glanced and I didn't receive my chemical gas.

As you will notice, after evading the sp1, I tried to build another chemical gas, but the 2nd medium dealt didn't give me that chemical gas.
Then, tried to make the 4th light in order to heal block. No heal block, since the 4th hit glanced.
It's from 4-5 months that there is this bug.
I hope that explains why your Mysterio couldn't get his Chemical Gas.
Has nothing to do with ability accuracy reduction but it is just his offensive ability that will trigger from his attack (the chemical gas) being glanced.
For me, the fact is clear.
A champion is immune to AAR, therefore he can't get AAR. There is an ability that lowers AA? It can't lower ability to an immune champion (since it's... immune)
Have you tried to give them a ticket about it? You can try report them through the in-game setting and from my observation, they seems to get in touch with you much faster than replying in here.
There are a lot of other stuffs to address too.
I think I read his statement differently than you did. I think he agrees with you.
He said that CURRENTLY, Mysterio is being affected by Glancing.
It seems that he shouldn't be affected by Glancing. By "getting this interaction cleaned up", I think he means that they are going to try and fix this bug.
That's my interpretation of his comment...that this is a bug that's being investigated. Hopefully he can clarify.
I am disagreeing with @Haji_Saab and @Bendy ...or at least disagreeing that it’s limited to defensive AAR and that glancing should be a special case.
I hope this gets the attention it deserves.
At the beginning, it could be simply ignored by a Black Widow, who prevented the activation (thanks to her AAR)
Then, Glancing has changed, ignoring the AAR reduction of Black Widow, since Glancing is a passive ability and not a simple Defensive ability.
Last Year, Glancing beats the famous "Cannot beats Always" : Guaranteed Critical Hits cannot be Guaranteed Critical Hits against Glancing.
Now, we discover that Glancing ignores even Immunity to Ability Reduction.
Conclusions:
If a node, ability, interaction works in a certain way from many years, it's harmful to continuously change it, because it creates confusion and spreads an atmosphere of precariousness, where any ability could potentially be changed in the future months. This has happened several times this year and sincerely it's getting stressful: after pulling a new champion, the first question a player ask is like "is it a good champ? Deserves the Gem, right?"
Now, it's more like "is this Champion working as intended?"
Tmk glancing has never changed aside from taking away the ability to guaranteed crit against it.
Something's really wrong all around...
Mysterio, OML and AA (and maybe others) all are subject to part 1, but SHOULD NOT be to part 2.
What does this mean? It means that characters SHOULD have the damage reduction, but not their abilities should still proc. For example, even if Mysterio gets glanced on 2nd M, it should never prevent him from procing Gas.
