Glancing Counter

mgj0630

I was just looking at the new champs and noticed Sersi has a glancing mechanism. If I'm not mistaken, that makes four champs with a glancing mechanic now (Sersi, CAIW, Storm-X, and Ant-Man).

So my question is...are there any true counters to that mechanic?

I don't believe True Strike/Damage/Accuracy or anything can negate glancing.

If I'm right that there's not a counter to it, isn't it time there should be? I think it's the only defensive ability that doesn't have a reliable counter.

I agree. A champ who could counter glancing would be great

Stryfe can glance too...

Scarcity27

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a True Something that counters glance will pop up.

AA mostly does

Yeah theres 0 counters to glancing mechanic as theres too many that glances now where we actually need a counter

I mean technically quake works since you never touch the opponent…

General ability accuracy reduction works for glancing

Blade' SP1 can't be glanced, at least the two projectiles: I don't know why, but it was really useful for that micro-reflect/stun immune ant-man in act 6 ^_^

@danielmath, you're not wrong, but it's dependent upon applying neurotoxins.

I guess hoping for an ability that's not dependent upon something else, cause if that defender were on some node that prevented bleed or poison, it wouldn't work. Likewise, if RNG is against you, you may never apply the bleeds cause of the offensive AAR against a glancing strike.

If I read Sersi right, her glancing mechanic is based on a buff, which means it could be nullified, but again, she could be placed on a node that prevents, or punishes, nullify.

@odishika123 good call. I forgot about him. That makes 5.

Doesn't crossbones get past glancing with furies up?

AA is immune to AAR

The glancy is caused from a buff....use a neutralize champion and the game is done
