**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Nimrod’s Bugged Sp2: For Better or Worse?

For those who are unaware (which I imagine is most, since Nimrod is still fairly new), Nimrod’s description states that the shocks he applies on his sp2 are meant to be passive. In reality, he is applying active shock debuffs.
My question to the community is this: Would Nimrod be better with the shocks as debuffs or passives? Below I will lay out what I perceive to be the pros and cons of each.
Benefits of Passive Shocks:
Bypass damage resistances on champions like Silver Surfer and Magneto
Bypass debuff immunity nodes
Cannot be shrugged off
Cooler looking icon on status bar
Benefits of Active Shock Debuffs:
Can be augmented by War Machine prefight ability
Can be augmented by Mr. Fantastic prefight ability.
Potentially useful for nodes like Diss Track.
I’d lay out the cons, but it’s basically just flip the two lists I just made and you’ve got them. So, what do y’all think? Is the ability to buff his already huge shock damage via prefights and other potential utility as a debuff better than the versatility of the passive? Or does that ability to bypass resistances, especially against magneto, and defeat debuff-shrugging champions outweigh the circumstantial damage boosts?

debuff immune? Doesn’t matter, they’re passive. Just overall work better than a debuff
I really don't see the benefit of having his shocks as a debuff. In situations where you need debuffs, he's rarely a good option.
However when he gets fixed, if he's a champ you use a lot, then I think I ought to remind you that you forgot one big, , green, very angry drawback to inflicting passive shocks...
