Black Widow Claire Voyant Nerf

I just found the thread where Kabam is now saying the wording on Black Widow will be changed so hat way she cannot nullify pre existing buffs as long as she has charges. This is a MAJOR change to her abilities and needs to be posted publicly if this is this case as I myself and other people are ranking her based on this ability, this is not a mistake and was clearly worded this way purposely, changing it changes her entire ability and I would expect rank down tickets due to the nerf of her abilities, this is not an adjustment but a complete removal of the way she is supposed to be able to nullify buffs as long as she has charges, the counterbalance is already in place that you have to have enough charges to nullify the buff. Who are we supposed to rank and why get excited about new champs when they will continue to be nerfed????

It might seem obvious that the correct description should have simply said "if the opponent triggers a buff when striking or when struck by Claire Voyant, the buff is nullified and a charge is consumed." But that might also be wrong. In the past, abilities like this would affect all buffs triggered at the same time - Kabam even said at one point that the game engine at the time couldn't distinguish between one or multiple buffs triggered simultaneously in that context. Perhaps Claire Voyant's abilities involve new mechanics that can do this, and the intent was to emphasize that one, and only one buff is nullified when buffs are triggered. And that's what triggered the clumsy and ultimately incorrect wording.
100% chance to Nullify Unstoppable Buffs on hit.
This is what Claires ability says:
After landing or receiving a Light or Medium attack and the Opponent has 1 or more Buffs, a charge is consumed and 1 Buff is Nullified.
His happens ON hit, hers happens AFTER hit. All they are doing is clarifying that because people seem to not understand the difference. They are not changing it so it will somehow not work, you are worked up about nothing but your misunderstanding of how she works. They clearly stated in the post they are updating the DESCRIPTION of the ability, not the ability itself.
They are either going to change her description to accurately match how she is currently working --- (she can nullify the unstoppable buff but the unstoppable effect PRECEDES the buff's nullification, and she CAN nullify 1 of any active buff every light or medium hit in exchange for one of her charges)
or
if you directly use Zibiit's explanation + example...she is NOT working as intended and she is only able to nullify a buff that she causes the opponent to gain after landing a hit, like rhino's defensive fury buff that is sometimes gained when the opponent lands a hit on him. This would mean that she will not be able to nullify pre-existing buffs or any other buffs that are triggered without getting hit by Claire..like Hyperion's power gain.
It's most likely not the latter, but a quick clarification from Kabam would ease the worry some summoners have.
SHE IS NOT CHANGING. Lol. They're rephrasing their wording so people can understand better.
If they change her description to match how she currently acts then I think most would agree, no big deal. But that’s not what you’re saying and the mod’s explanation isn’t entirely clear either.
