CAP IW Unstoppable - Poor description wording, or bug?

in General Discussion


Hi guys. Cap IW has been my go to for a long time against any consistently unstoppable champs.

I wondered if he'd remove the passive unstoppable on the longshot in the mutant version of this month's side quest. I tried it, and he doesn't.

So long as he has a kinetic charge, Cap's description states there's 100% chance to nullify all unstoppable buffs.
ALL unstoppable BUFFS doesn't clarify active or passive buffs. I would say the inclusion of the word 'all' goes out of its way to suggest it covers both active and passive buffs.

I'm wondering if this is working as intended in game. If so, should the description be amended to clarify only active buffs?
Or, is this a bug?

    Remove all BUFFS
    A passive isn’t a buff the end

    Yep pretty much this.

    Passive EFFECT
    Active BUFF

    That's the simple way to remember.

    There’s something screwy with the wording of Longshot in the side event.

    The Brawl node says each player gains an Unstoppable passive, but the in game pause menu lists the Unstoppable as a buff. There’s no white border so it’s not a buff.

    Buffs are not the same thing as passives

    Buffs not passives lol, not poor description, wording nor bug.

    The "pause menu" descriptions are usually misleading, as in most of the cases it doesn't have different text's for both buffs and passives, but rather one text shared for both, that uses the word "buff" wrongly.
    Just disregard it, as it should be the last thing to do if you're trying to interpretate abilities

    I believe the “wings” (bars) above and below the icon is how you tell it's a Passive (as opposed to an active Buff) icon.

    There is no such thing as a passive or active buff. Effects are either passive or active. If they are active, they are buffs or debuffs. There is no further classification for passive effects

    Buffs can be nullfied. Passives can never be nullified.

    Active buffs have a white line on the outer ring for duration. Passives have the whole circle counting down duration

    Haha woke up to y'all wrecking me.
    Thanks everyone, I'd never noticed that the passive effects were referred to as 'effects' and not 'buffs'.

    Sorry for being stupid, have a great day!

    That's actually telling you it's an effect from the node and not from one of the fighter's base kits. The issue being that if a node AND the fighter's kit both can give the same effect, they still stack and you'll get wings for base kits and no wings for nodes. All depends on what procs first.

    I’ve always found the in game pause menu to be helpful and accurate. I really haven’t checked it much over the last month. Just noticed yesterday that the brawl nodes Unstoppable was listed as a buff when it is a passive. Instead of disregarding it , it should be fixed so it’s accurate , wouldn’t you say ?

    The buff is brawl
    The effect is unstoppable passive
  • GreanGrean Posts: 1,397 ★★★★
    FIRST OF ALL: he nullifies unstoppable BUFFS, meaning that he doesn't affect passive ones.
    SECOND OF ALL: Since it is a nullify, he won't be able to prevent thing's unstoppable
    SO: only bring him against champs that have unstoppable buffs like juggy
