Magik's Limbo has been nerfed

Scoop1eScoop1e Member Posts: 9
First and foremost, I have been using my 5\65 sig 200 Magik for a long long time, and since she had been max sig, her limbo would proc literally every single time, with the very rare times that it wouldn't. Ever since the most recent update, her Limbo only seems to activate about half the time and I don't understand why this has changed, or what they did to change it. Any kind of answer would be appreciated, preferably the truth.

    Nothing has changed. This is fake news/rumors, and isn't allowed on the forums.

    As the previous poster said, is not a guaranteee proc, and can fail due to other reasons like ability accuracy for example.

    What would they be able to answer. All you have is a "gut feeling". You've provided zero information for them to review and still want answers. Its like going to the mechanic saying something is wrong but then you don't bring your vehicle but still want them to fix it.

    At max sig she has a ~50% chance at 1 bar, a ~75% at 2 bars and a ~100% at 3 bars.

    That's still quite the chance for it to not trigger.

    Also you need to be more specific. Where did this happen and against whom?

    @UmbertoDelRio , How do you get to those 50/75/100% numbers ?

    From her Profiles, 4* and above give her 25% base chance at 1-Bar, then increases by 12.5% if at 2nd Bar or by 25% if at 3rd Bar.
    So assuming it is additive (0.25 + 0.125), instead of multiplicative (0.25 * 1.125). And that between 2nd vs 3rd Bar is not cumulative (2nd AND 3rd numbers), but rather one OR the other extra...
    Then Base chance is 25, 37.5, and 50%. And then you Multiply the variable Ability Multiplier to that (which is just 100% so no adjustment only if at MaxSig, or somewhere lower which reduces those 3 values above if below MaxSig).

    (Note, 3* and below has slight difference to just initial Base Chance being 20% instead of 25%, rest of everything is same).

    Best case would be when reaching 3rd Bar Power, and if at MaxSig, would only be 50% chance of Limbo in that case.
    ???

    Is this why OP is questioning her, did her Profile used to say higher numbers earlier ?

    On an MCOC Champ website (forget which one) I did see yesterday that they still had it listed like you said (increases it by xx%)

    But think Magik has always been (multiplies by xx%, so basically reduces it from a max).
    Unless I’m thinking of another champ's Ability which sets a Base Max stat but has the same type of (really only gets xx% of base stat %) ?

    Thanks for the help on this, gang. We haven't touched Magik so this is definitely a clickbait of a thread name, but either way it looks like misinterpretation could've happened. I'll bring it up as feedback in regards to the descriptions.
