Champion Spotlight - Falcon


About Falcon
A former air force pararescue who went on to work with recovering veterans, Sam Wilson aided the legendary Captain America in adjusting to modern life, quickly becoming Cap’s close friend in the process. Using an experimental winged harness, Wilson takes to the skies as the high-flying Falcon.
Falcon’s Mechanics
Falcons kit revolves heavily around managing the timing you apply your lock on to the opponent to get the biggest bonus effects and damage you can. Reduce the Opponents Defensive Ability Accuracy by -100% to have them never trigger an evade, thorns ability, or Rock Stack ever again. Use this in tandem with his amazing Critical Damage and on-hit bonus damage to handle many of the most difficult Defenders the Contest has to offer!

STRENGTHS:
- Anti-Evade
- With Falcon’s Lock On Mechanic you can have the Opponent never trigger an Evade gain. On top of that every time they fail an evade you get Bonus Critical Damage Rating letting him tear through any champ with a consistent Evade.
- On-Hit bonus Attack
- Falcon will now gain a Passive on-hit Attack increase against any opponent currently under the effects of RedWing’s Lock On.
- High Critical Chance
- Falcon’s Signature Ability has been increased further, and in addition he now has 100% Critical chance on the 2nd hit of his SP2. This will give you a sure fire way to get a Critical when you need it in any situation.
- Anti-Crit
- Falcon’s Damage relies heavily on his ability to Critical and pump out some massive yellow numbers. Running into a fight like Mister Sinister can result in a pretty brutal match-up for Falcon’s new kit.

Double Edge

Heck, I remember there was that whole scene in Ant-Man where Ant-Man was running circles around Falcon before Falcon "Recon-Locked" and started smacking Ant-Man around.
This would have definitely upped his viability while just being a more subtle change to his kit if you added these things in. It wouldn't even be a hard change to do. Right now, he only seems to have had a damage increase with maybe a minor bump up to a couple other abilities.
"...abilities cannot modify the ability acc, duration, or potency of this ability..."
i guess this means even Redwing lock on cannot prevent the passive regen.

i'm still having trouble with mix master and tunnel vision node. hope this Avengers could make it up.
"...Hey Cap, on your left..."
"Reduce the Opponents Defensive Ability Accuracy by -100% to have them never trigger an evade, thorns ability, or Rock Stack ever again.”
This statement is misleading and actually false. Once locked on goes on cool down wont the opponent be able to evade? Not sure how we are supposed to get a permeant locked on? Am i missing something?
Is it bug?
