What is actually expiring?

Kinda a follow up to my rant about MD… (wait)… I was originally only looking at the disease itself (MD) as the actual issue without fully realizing that it's benefits are important as well.

So instead of trying to kill the symbiotic relationship with this parasitic plague, sorry, I figured why not attempt to take away a negative symptom

BUFF-REFRESHING!!!
We've all seen this: you're cruising with Hulk or Thor or Wolverine or someone else limited to a certain number of buffs. They activate another buff on top of the old one but instead of stacking it simply refreshes the timer. Or even when using multiple dexterity in a row…

Now I don't see why this need to count as "expiring" because from the stand point of Dexterity and Hulk… nothing has expired. You still have the same Dex buff and hulk is still furious that the enemy hasn't died yet… so should it count as "expiring" if nothing changes?

You don't have a the same buff you have a new buff that caused the old buff to come to an end (expire).

Hmm I've always seen it as "extending" over expiring... guess it's how you interpret it

OP sorry bro but just Give up, Kabam don't care about this topic, never once have they comments on hundreds if not thousands of posts about the broken mechanic of buffs replacing themselves then triggering Mystic Dispersion. Funny how Hood's stagger replacing itself doesn't trigger his heal the same way (even though it holds the same wording).

Exactly it "expires" by @CoatHang3r logic which REALLY irks me. Also X23 bleeds when at 5 bleeds each one can trigger tanacity (very hard to get 5 on AV to begin with but whatevs I guess)… Same with GP heavy Bleed but at least that says "replace"

90% of the complaints about mystic dispersion would disappear if they changed the way dexterity works instead of nerfing mystic dispersion. A simple change like turning the crit buff into a passive buff like punisher's physical resist charges would solve most peoples problem with mystic dispersion being "unfair"

Well you'd still have many champs like Thor and Hulk just brutally feeding power even through they never actually reduce the number of buffs
