People Are Ignoring This About Bishop

Holros

,

People seem to be ignoring the fact that this bad boy can reduce ability accuracy by 80% while blocking, I'm sure this won't be as good as Red Mags AAR because you have to block for it to activate, but there's no denying this will come in clutch in certain situations, what do y'all think?

Not Ignoring

Just not talking about

SkyLord7000

Starting with sp2 seems better

Yeah it's not that it's bad, in fact can be situational useful. I just don't know how good 80% AAR is when I'm holding block and unable to do anything else and pray to RNGesus that whatever I'm blocking to prevent doesn't trigger on the 20% chance.

It’ll be good for things like Bubble shield, only a 20% chance to reduce your block proficiency is nice.

20% chance for masochism to trigger (assuming it works the same as Proxima)

Parry stunning black widow will be even easier

That sharpened claws won’t work well against him

If it triggers on a parry, then it'll be vastly more useful (I mean a parry is just a well timed blocked after all).

But yeah, it's situationally useful, but not something that I would rely on (unless the parry counts for the AAR then I would TOTALLY use it a good amount)

I see no reason it shouldn’t work on a parry, Proxima’s ability reads similarly, and hers works on block. I’d be very surprised if it didn’t for Bishop too

I'd have to find somewhere to test it, but if so that changes it a lot. But I'll still be aiming for that extra incinerate damage in the majority of situations. Don't need to worry about AAR if the opponent is KOd fast enough!

It should trigger on a parry just like Proxima. Her AAR isn't based on a parry either in her description.

Hmm, wonder if that ability makes him a decent Annihilus counter. Not sure where I could easily test that

BigBlueOx

Apocalypse at 4 charges shut down

altavista

Wonder if this would work against Stunning Reflection or those other nodes

Holros

I'm sure the uses will come out with time, I just wish it wasn't locked behind his sig

Ercarret

It's a neat ability but whenever people compare it to Magneto's almost full shutdown of robot champions I get this confused expression on my face. They are two very different beasts.

I'm sure Bishop's ability will come in handy on several occasions when something triggers on block, but Magneto just completely bypasses all abilities of a decent chunk of really annoying champions in the game. They are not really comparable in my eyes.

There's always an Annihilus on the eq. You usually find him on the mystic quest

Doom might be interesting. His SP1 is only unblockable when his aura activates, so with the right timing you can shut it down completely. There is still a 20% chance it fails though.

Not sure why people are talking in hypotheticals for this ability ... Proxima has a better version for ages, so we do know a lot about this ability.

I had no idea, it would be nice to know things it works for, what are some of the things proxima can do with it?

I wonder if taking Doom's sp1 into the block would prevent the aura

Nameless_IW

It states that starting with 1 bar of power it gives him stun immunity while blocking. So that means he will be good for the encroaching stun in AW. So just block everything the timer is about to expire to bypass the stun. I believe right???

It's as if he is a punching bag for mystic champs 😂
