Korgs unblockable and unstoppable are caused offensively. So absolutely no worries of that ever changing 🤙
Actually, it's more complicated than that: they can be either offensive or defensive.

If Korg triggers an SP1 with sufficient Crowd Excitement, becoming Unblockable is an offensive effect.

If Korg triggers a Special-3, he'll also gain enough Crowd Excitement to trigger them as an offensive effect.

On the other hand, if you're increasing Crowd Excitement by hitting Korg's block, that's a defensive ability. So Warlock shouldn't stop that.

If you're increasing Crowd Excitement by dodging his attacks I don't really know if it's a defensive or offensive ability; although I'm guessing offensive (since he's attacking at the time), so Warlock should probably be able to stop that...

So Warlock's virus shouldn't shut Korg down completely; but should make him a lot easier.

There is a third category of abilities, which are just... abilities for the lack of better classification. These are abilities that trigger, usually dependent on a timer, without hitting or getting hit. The best example of this is LOL X-23’s enigmatic ability which gives her periodic regen. As far as I know neither offensive or defensive ability accuracy reduction affects this. The same would be for things like plagued mind or tranquility. These abilities you can stop altogether with champs like AA and DV, but not with champs like CW, CB, BW, or Warlock.

best heal reversal in the game since its passive and has very little ramp up time

I have a 4 star warlock at r4. Stuck on act 5 at present. Subsequently stuck in the horrendous conqueror status too.

Shall I r5 warlock then? How valuable is he for act 5?

Beyond God Tier Utility, Good Damage, Tanks a Very Healthy Amount of Damage, 4 Immunities, and Doesn't Require his Awakened Ability. Meaning you can pull him right out a 5/6 Star Crystal and start using him Immediately, also his Animations are just really fun to watch.
So yeah, very good to say the least.

His abilities should have been to reduce defensive abilities and not offensive ones. They wanted to make him a pain in defense than be useful on attack. That is just a wasted potential

A small taste of Warlock's ability to dominate endgame content:

He's an effective solution to roughly 80% of 'problem' fights in the endgame. Has all sorts of top tier uses in AW, AQ, All 4 Variants, Act 5 and Act 6!

This is pre "fix"

He’s this good. One of favourite champs. Solves a lot of problems.

nope. If your at the point in time where you mainly use 4 stars, its not worth the investment.
