Magneto vs Peni Parker: Bug or I'm missing something?

KnightZeroKnightZero Member Posts: 1,450 ★★★★★
When using Mags vs Peni Parker in the Cav EQ, she obviously gets Magnetized since she's metal. And Magneto can't be autoblocked when it is on the opponent.
But if you hit her when she has above 4 spider charges, the screen says 'Autoblock Failed', but the hit doesn't connect, she holds block and Magneto gets power burned.
Is this intended? Or am I missing something?

    The power burn part is happening because peni's power burn triggers when an autoblock would have happened not just if it happens. So even though magneto disables the autoblock itself the power burn applies because the auto block would have happened. It definitely could've been worded better in her abilities.

    The hit whiffing part could be a bug but without a video it's hard to say for sure

    If autoblock is failing, then she isn't technically autoblocking my hit. So the power drain shouldn't happen.
    She doesn't need to actually autoblock. Only attempt it: "When Peni would auto-block a hit, ...". Nothing about blocking anything.

    It is all about the wording. Ngl it feels kinda cheap lol. She is gonna cause some painnnnnn on AW defense.

    The wording sucks.
    Her abilities also state: 'When Peni would be struck...'
    Does that mean that if you have a falter and you attempt to hit her, she can autoblock you? Because it would be pretty dumb. As per the wording explanation above, that is supposed to happen.

    This character is just so badly designed. You need to have both an anti-autoblock and anti-powerburn champion. There's only Venom at low health.

    She's gonna be a pain on Explosive Armor nodes if the node has mystic ward as well or if u can't use Venom, Venompool or KG

    Her info clearly mentions that her auto block ignores ability accuracy reduction and can't be prevented unless sync shield is removed

    She's certainly annoying.

    Annihilus with Darkhawk synergy will punch straight through and suffer no ill effects. Not that either is necessarily a first-choice champion for War Offense.
