Is this node worded wrong, or am I a knucklehead?

Colinwhitworth69

So when I get a taunt debuff on me, how is it supposed to make me more likely to throw a special? I mean, if it works, that’s some scary AI interaction….

Every time you reach a bar of power a shock will be sent through your phone to your fingers that will move your thumb 70% closer to the special button

You won't throw more specials but you do lose the attack rating.

Imagine if you got a taunt as an attacker you had a 50% chance to randomly throw your special with no input.

Every time I throw a special now, I’m second guessing myself. Did I do that, or was it Kabam?

ChaosMax1012

So basically the node tricks you into thinking you’re outsmarting kabam by turning on auto fight, so you are never likely to throw a special attack because you are not playing, when really it causes you auto fight AI to throw a special attack into the opponents block and making you look foolish

Did a popup come up provoking you, forcing you to throw a special?

I mean that node is honestly helping you. Just gives you another debuff to shrug off

This would become one of the most annoying nodes

The probability of me throwing a special is zero, until I decide to throw a special and then it becomes 100%.

The node increases my chance of throwing specials from zero and 100% to 70% higher which is ... zero and 100%. So, working as intended.

Imagine just playing the fight and a pop up like these come up

“I bet you blame failed intercepts on the AI”

“You getting KOd isn’t bad RNG”

“You use quake as a crutch”

dot_ditto

the sp button moves a bit for each taunt debuff on you ... O.o

Don't give them ideas... The light intercept thing is becoming an annoyance

Kerneas

For the roleplay reasons, I sometimes throw SPs into block while I am taunted.

Basically your champ is taunted but he's under your control so he can't use it but he's crying inside to launch that SP so much. Once you auto run the match he'll go boom shouting "freedom" but kabam didn't give them any mic so we can't hear sadly

I just explored this quest, and I used this nice weakness to build aegon, using sp1 instantly to get in extra combo hits.

Colonaut123

Taunt causes you to get Special Syndrome, so you're 70% more likely to tap the special attack button.

SHIELD4AGENT

just autoplay on that node so it won't go to waste.
