Change to Red Magneto Signature Ability

Kabam this is awesome! So happy with this change! Can you tell us when it will be up and running in game??

Here’s the old description:

And here’s the newly update one

woah that's pretty big

Iron_Patriot_is_lit

Where did you see this?

Lvernon15

That’s actually a huge change tbh

Iron_Patriot_is_lit

Was this a silent buff?

Etjama

Where'd you find this? I doubt they'd buff him further tbh.

Iron_Patriot_is_lit

It’s in the game now I just went to his abilities page in game. Looking back at older videos it indeed said excluding a special 3. Now it says from any single damage source.

That’s a pretty big change for him. Now I don’t have a single doubt in my mind that he’s a top 3 mutant.

Dayum, you're right!

How much can he loose worst case Scenario when there isnt a #metal on any attack? % wise?

At max sig the cap is 10% I think

Ok I just tried to tank an abyss sp3 and it failed. Could someone please educate me if this is just something that abyss can ignore or is this wording change just a classic Kabam troll?

Seems like it’s just a description bug as it doesn’t add protection on sp3. My Mags is Sig 32 so would have been cap at just over 10k

Yep he’s still the same magneto from last month. Just Kabam trying to fool us with their words.

hm I don't know which part of this is a bug because they never just nerf or buff champs, and if they do, they will definitely tell us, which leads me to think it's a bug, but the wording change is so incredibly specific, so I'm not sure

edit: ok the wording change actually isn't as huge as I thought, so it's probably just text that got cut off or something

Iron_Patriot_is_lit

So the question is: was the description change intended but they failed to insert it into gameplay properly, or was the description change unintended and he was supposed to stay the same?

exactly what I was thinking, but I think it might be text that someone accidentally deleted

This isn’t true. Kabam has done multiple silent nerfs and buffs in the past before. We even have a few examples that occurred recently. Sasquatch’s DOT got nerfed this month and I believe last month or the month before moon night got a buff where he was able to stack his bleeds.

I just tried dueling Hyperion with max sig 4* Mags. Killed me with 1 sp3. Maybe it's just a wording error then?

I think that's it.

Like me and thicco_mode said, it could also be that the wording change was intentional but him failing to tank an sp3 would be the bug. It could be either way but there’s no way for us to really find out. Galactus knows we probably aren’t getting a response from Kabam so only time can tell.

Sorry didn’t expect this many comments while eating dinner!

Yes I had tried tanking an sp3 before posting, hence asking when it would be up and running rather than saying how good it is.

Personally I agree with what a few have said - changing the description of his signature ability surely is intentional? @Kabam Miike can anyone shed some light?

Iron_Patriot_is_lit

I highly doubt we’ll get a response. We’ll just have to find out next month or whenever they decide to fix it.

Iron_Patriot_is_lit

Also it's weird that he gains block penetration when attacked

I just noticed this comment lol. Now I’m looking back at both descriptions and the wording for both is really messed up.

Iron_Patriot_is_lit

When Attacked:
- Damage is capped at X
- X critical resistance and... block penetration?
- [Magnet] this bonus is increased by +100%
- Heavy attacks deal a burst of X damage?

Normax_X

the text changed, but he still doesn't cap sp3 damage, not sure why they took it off the description but yeah
