Gwenpool not Reducing Antman's Sig Ability [NOT A BUG]

After doing some testing and questing in 5.2, I noticed that GP was not reducing Antmans Glancing Ability. I reached a combo of 50 and he was still glancing. Seeing this I continued the fight (5.2.4) and got to a combo of ~200. Antman was still glancing. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but in his sig ability it states "When Attacked." Shouldn't this be considered a defensive ability which can be reduced? Or is this a bug?

Actually it works the other way around, antman's glancing reduces others' offensive abilities so that's why black-widow, gwenpool, DV and (maybe) archangel's ability reductions don't work against him.
At least that's what i think.

See that was one of my thoughts as well. As I stated earlier, he was still glancing at a combo of about 200 with GP. Out of those 200 hits, more than 50 did not glance.

I can see why this one is confusing, but it is not a bug. Ant-Man's Glancing ability takes precedent over Gwenpool's, or Black Widow's abilities. He's one of the few counters to a high Defensive Ability reduction ability.

So even though 50+ hits in my 200 hit combo didn't glance, his glancing ability still isn't reduced?

Yes. Not every hit is going to glance anyways.
