OG Storm “Fix” vs Change

Storm’s prowess pausing has been a known bug listed here - was happy to see that it’s being resolved in the next patch but looks to be more of a change/nerf than a resolution of listed abilities.

Original buffed ability implies that knocking the opponent down with a heavy pauses prowess. New “fix” makes mention of pausing prowess on “heavy crit”.

These abilities are much different if they are crit based versus knockdown. Hoping for clarification

Will have to see how it works as it could just be more poor wording from kabam since previously if the heavy didn't crit it'd pause them fine but if it did then it'd go wrong, so hopefully the now pauses all prowess following a heavy crit is purely referring to the issues where a heavy crit would cause it not to pause and not be a new requirement for it to pause them.

We'll see..

I don't think that's what's changing here. As she is right now, gaining a prowess from a heavy crit doesn't pause those prowess from the heavy crit. Sounds to me like that's being fixed now

well she’s certainly broken currently, that’s not my point.

her abilities as written imply that knockdown on a heavy pauses prowess. the patch update says heavy crit pauses prowess. those aren’t the same

there was a problem before. when she threw a heavy that was a non-crit, then it paused all prowesses like it was supposed to. if it was a crit, then it gave her the prowess for the crit, but didn't pause the prowesses. hopefully the fix allows her to both gain the prowess and pause the prowess, and nothing more

Patch notes aren't a change to her abilities, it's fixing part of the ability which isn't working since when she crit on her heavy her knockdown on heavy pausing prowess wasn't working.

I think what magnus was saying is that currently, heavy knockdowns pause prowesses EXCEPT the prowess gained if it’s a crit. The bug fix is to make heavy knockdowns truly pause all prowesses, including any prowesses gained if the heavy crit.

Yeah they could've used a few more words when writing that one
