If it's not operating as the description says, it is indeed a bug. A simple reading of his Stats would show that. Obviously it was known well-enough to be mentioned on Social Media. It was not a nerf. It was a bug, and it was fixed.
But where does it say it will only remove one? If everyone is going by the description it clearly states if you have any of the 3 the restoration kit will drop and the debuff will be removed. It doesn't say only 1 of them will be removed. It clearly states it will purify the debuff if it is one of the three.
If X, Y, or Z.....once per Fight. It doesn't say it will remove all.
Does it say it doesn't remove all? Nope. It states if you have any it will remove debuff 1x per fight.
All Champions except Nick: If Nick is alive, once per fight when a teammate is inflicted with a Bleed, Poison or Shock Debuff he will drop a Restoration Kit, Purifying the Debuff and Regenerating 10% of their max health over 3 seconds.)
CLEARY STATES IF ANY OF THESE DEBUFFS, RESTORATION KIT WILL DROP, PURIFYING DEBUFF. It doesn't say just 1, it never says only 1. It clearly states ANY. ANY is the key word, if you have any of these kit drops and debuff is purified.
Yes English is an amazing language!
They allowed the content creators to post videos stating that all debuffs were removed. Waited a month and then said its a bug..............they knew a week before the champ was released.
Any is never mentioned in the description. It says that THE (means ONLY ONE) debuff is purified

It says it'll drop one kit per fight that will shrug off those specific debuffs. That's how it is written. This is 100% a nerf due to the vid BG put out the other day.
No, it said if you have any of those present, it will shrug off the Debuff. Not all of them, just one. Whichever one triggers it. Why we're even debating this, I don't know. We all know it was a bug.
Where does it specifically say that? It does not, it was show cased in the content creators program. It was never stated it was a bug. They clearly read the description then showed how it worked. And you are arguing because you sit on the internet all day.
No. I don't enjoy arguing. I'm trying to point out the sheer absurdity of this conversation. The Abilities are listed there. People knew it was broken. Now they're trying to complain that Kabam fixed what wasn't supposed to happen to begin with, and they're justifying that with looking for the slightest loophole in the wording. They fixed a bug. Plain and simple. People can conjecture all they want about "They allowed it to happen....they only fix bugs that benefit us...", what have you. The bottom line is it wasn't supposed to operate like that. Period. It was fixed. There's not much else to say. All the complaints that come through about fixing things, and all of a sudden it's a problem when they do fix something. We've been through this before with Hela, Loki, etc. Ultimately, it's their product, and it goes out how they want it. However, the difference between those cases and this one is it was literally indicated how it was meant to function. That doesn't change because people consider the bug advantageous. It's fixed now, and that's how they intended him to go out.
It's pretty clear from the description that only 1 debuff would be purified. That said, it's a pretty bad showing that, once again, the devs failed to properly vet the content they are putting out. I 100% understand how some could feel that this is false advertising to get more $$$ for a champ. If they're really going to be this bad at testing their own game, then they really need to move a lot faster on squashing bugs.

Sure you don't, all you do is argue on the internet all day against people creating hostile environments. That is exactly what an internet troll does.
They fixed a bug. If everyone and their dog ran out and tried to capitalize on it, knowing it was a bug, that's on them. There's no timeline for fixing things, or when they get around to it. Whether they fixed it 3 weeks after, or a day after, it was well-known that's not how it was meant to perform. People complain when they don't fix things, they complain when they do fix things. It's not their fault if people went broke for a bug.
Define "well-known". Fury is a brand new champ. If people realize that an ability works in a certain way in a fight, not everyone will go into the abilities to figure out why that is. They just know that it works the way it does. He worked in a way that shrugged off more debuffs than intended. People noticed that and spent time and resources on him. Then his value was reduced. Yes, the reduction was a fix and was justified, but that doesn't mean it didn't screw over a lot of users.
Well it wasn't clear to BG who had him in the CCP and who's literal job it is to play this game. But to everyone else, it was super clear.
It's pretty clear from the description that only 1 debuff would be purified. That said, it's a pretty bad showing that, once again, the devs failed to properly vet the content they are putting out.

How is that clear? Be specific.
I'm guessing the actual video evidence from the content creators program showing it purified all debuffs wasn't clear to people. They allowed that to go out and not say a word for a month about it being bugged. It was show cased through their program and then they changed their mind. I'm done spending on arenas and going for champs. I will hoard my 5* shards and test my luck on crystals instead.

The synergy as written: "All Champions except Nick: If Nick is alive, once per fight when a teammate is inflicted with a Bleed, Poison or Shock Debuff he will drop a Restoration Kit, Purifying the Debuff and Regenerating 10% of their max health over 3 seconds.)"
It says the kit will purify the "debuff." It doesn't say the kit will purify the debuffs. It also lists the debuffs with an "or" rather than with an "and."
If you honestly look at the description without any previous bias from videos or other sources, you wouldn't read it as purifying more than 1 debuff. There are a lot of descriptions in this game that are poorly worded. This isn't once of those instances.

Note the logical "or" and the singular "a" and "the"...
it triggers off any singular buff, not when they receive debuffs and it removes a single one.
@GroundedWisdom You don't even have Nick Fury Why the hell do you care so much????
And you keep stating that the community knew it was a bug. I didn't and would be willing to bet a majority didn't either. We honestly have no way to know exactly when this interaction caught Kabams attention. They fixed Sinister pretty darn quick.
IMO the description is not clear enough about how many buffs it will remove. It does happen 1 time per fight, that is clear, but how many buffs it was intended to remove at once is debatable. I can assume many thought it was working as intended because of how other mechanics like masochism works with multiple debuffs.
At the end of the day, I didn't spend time or money trying to get Nick (but I have been saving shards in hopes of getting him), so I am not personally effected by the change. And the debate on whether this is a nerf or a fix is beyond counter productive. The English language is complicated enough that arguing over the definition of slang words is pretty funny.

Its 22 days, 29 days with content creators program.

If you dont read the description of the abilities before you rank up that is on you.
Are you people literally arguing whether this is singular or plural?
We are arguing what was showcased in the content creators program, and then the change a month later.
So because it was in the Program, and they didn't fix it right away, what? You do realize there are a number of reasons that it could take time. Also, didn't BG spend his own Units to get him, if I remember reading correctly? If so, that wasn't given through the Program.

You don't understand.
Each debuff is singular but there are three debuffs that can be listed. Each individual debuff gets purified once, making it possible that one, two or three total debuffs will be purified depending on how many are applied at one time.

It would be really tough for a native English speaker to make the claim because it shows a severe lack of understanding of plural and singular words. "the" "a" "debuff", only one of them is slang, but the others define singlurar nature of it.

That is not what it says. If 2 or 3 debuffs get purified then the effect happend 2 or 3 times, but the effect can only happen once, therefore your logic fails.

Say what? the kit explitily says "the debuff", that means it can only remove one, singlular vs plural.
If Nick is alive, once per fight when a teammate is inflicted with a Bleed, Poison or Shock Debuff he will drop a Restoration Kit, Purifying the Debuff
It only drops once and it only removed 1 debuff. If something happens and you get multiple debuffs at one time you only get one removed, the first applied. The kit explicitly says "the debuff" meaning it only applies to one debuff.
Comments
We've been through this before with Hela, Loki, etc. Ultimately, it's their product, and it goes out how they want it. However, the difference between those cases and this one is it was literally indicated how it was meant to function. That doesn't change because people consider the bug advantageous. It's fixed now, and that's how they intended him to go out.
This is another step back after Kabam had actually made some progress the last few months.

IMO the description is not clear enough about how many buffs it will remove. It does happen 1 time per fight, that is clear, but how many buffs it was intended to remove at once is debatable. I can assume many thought it was working as intended because of how other mechanics like masochism works with multiple debuffs.
At the end of the day, I didn't spend time or money trying to get Nick (but I have been saving shards in hopes of getting him), so I am not personally effected by the change.
And the debate on whether this is a nerf or a fix is beyond counter productive.
The English language is complicated enough that arguing over the definition of slang words is pretty funny.
Each debuff is singular but there are three debuffs that can be listed. Each individual debuff gets purified once, making it possible that one, two or three total debuffs will be purified depending on how many are applied at one time.
The kit can only be dropped once and each debuff can only be purified once. It does NOT say that if there are multiple debuffs that only one can be purified.
If Nick is alive, once per fight when a teammate is inflicted with a Bleed, Poison or Shock Debuff he will drop a Restoration Kit, Purifying the Debuff
It only drops once and it only removed 1 debuff. If something happens and you get multiple debuffs at one time you only get one removed, the first applied. The kit explicitly says "the debuff" meaning it only applies to one debuff.
