WHY IS MY OMEGA TAKING THORNS DAMAGE

Evangelionlovr

Seriously? The major usefulness of a champ I 5/65 isn’t working in the new AW psychic thorns node? Is this a bug? If it’s not can I rank him down because if you’re going to introduce ways to prevent his major use then i wasted all my resources ranking him up.

what do you make?

I always thought the tenders, rather tendrils, are extension of ORed’s anatomy, therefore part of contact attack.

Nope. That’s why he doesn’t take damage from Korg.

Aerospace composites.

Contact has nothing to do with it. Omega reds abilities state that he takes 100% less damage from enemy abilities that do damage on contact. Yet he’s still taking damage.

“Tentacles Hits reduce 100% of damage inflicted by enemy abilities that deal passive damage when they are struck.”

Could it be that psychic thorns is not an enemies ability as it comes from the node?

Fingfangfoomfanes

Plausible. Node buffs override champion abilities.

Similar to how BW used to bypass thorns back in the day, then it was changed.

Anyone with projectiles is a good counter to psychic thorns.

You should see the other guy wrecked by Aegis node

Nope. Brother there are two realistic counters. SS and Havok. That’s it.

Quake works fine

OR does fine with Spiked Armor

Try to quake a 5/65 sig200 domino there! She will critfail all your evades, and wreck you in no seconds!

Maw and IMIW. Apparently energy attacks also do not get thorns damage so DS and Dorm would also work.

Not to mention their SP2s will heal you because they're projectiles.

Yeah everyone who uses her know the bad matchups, can see the nodes though so wouldn’t take her in that case. I’ll agree though once everyone figures out who to place where war is going to be a big pain.

Fingfangfoomfanes

This. I think OR is best for spiked armor. Not thorns?

Does domino crit failure trigger against her heavy? I've never personally experienced it, so it would be good to know

SidDDragon

We were planning to send one of our omega guys down that path but reading about omega taking damage made us change and now I take that path with my IMIW...yet to face a BS defender but overall it's really easy with him...he heals up over a mllll combo

PS fire your quality control team they suck. Never seen a worse company when it comes to releasing broken ****. I would be fired if my products were this messed up upon release. If it’s not ready DONT RELEASE IT

This has been a topic before. Not all his hits are with tentacles. Mediums and heavies are. Also, as a owner of a r5/65 omega red, this is just a small part of what makes him good. His other abilities far out weigh his tentacle hits.

I think you misunderstood. Even his tentacle hits (AKA medium and heavy attacks) trigger psychic thorns

Maybe. It doesn't say either way honestly so I assumed he/she meant all.

Yeah I think he was talking about the fact that OR tentacle hits still take damage from thorns even though his abilities state otherwise.

Cool. Psychic thorns is fairly new. Its possible its a different mechanic than thorns. In AW, OR would be a bad matchup there anyway unless you plan on parry/heavy most of the time.

Is there a psychic thorns node in act 6? I wouldnt mind trying it there too to see what's happening.

Yeah I'd agree it's definitely a different mechanic. But I still think strictly reading OR's description of tentacle attacks it doesn't really make sense to be taking thorns damage. Either OR shouldn't be taking damage or the node description needs to change.

As far as act 6 goes, I think this is the first time we've seen this node, so unless its in chapter 2 when that drops tomorrow I don't think we have anywhere to test. I won't be taking my 5/65 OR into that node in war anytime soon though.

I thought i'd seen it somewhere else. Maybe it was AQ. You're right, with a 3 minute timer, its a bad fight all around. My ally mate used Quake but not against domino.

The problem is there’s a second psychic thorns node on path 3 in tier 2 that is combined with heal block so you can’t heal back any damage taken from the thorns (so champs who combine both contact and non contact hits don’t work) also this past war there was a Korg on that node. So the options are pretty much either 5/65 SS/DS or quake (Mags and Dormamu would time out in this tier)

Now if Omega could be used, using only mediums and heavies would be a very reliable strategy and idk what sig your omega is but mine can kill stuff just fine with only his degen and a couple mediums.

Evangelionlovr

Also to anyone who’s saying “his abilities state that he reduces damage from enemy abilities but this thorns damage comes from the node not the enemy’s abilities” omega tentacle hits do not take thorns damage from both Spiked Armor or the regular Thorns node (15% attack is reflected as direct damage) so either those are both broken or this new node is. You can’t have both.
