Still wish they increased his attack/crits per taunt or debuff and didn't hide so much behind synergies. Annoying.
I'm going to need to see him in action stacking a silly amount of taunts and basically no-selling something more substantial than Winter Soldier's Sp1 to get interested in using him over all the other Spider-verse champs. I guess Decelerate is better than nothing, but I'd still use Anti-Venom if I needed that.
What I think his Taunts do is that it gives the 70% Chance for the opponent to Launch the Special Attacks, but it also reduces the Attack of the opponent by 1% (3% if duped). They intend for about 10 Taunts to be active on the opponent. so that reduces the opponents attack rating by a max of 30%. This is to be paired with the inequity mastery, which would reduce the opponent's attack rating by 6% for each debuff, totaling to max up to 36% reduction.
Which means he could have the opponent suffer -66% attack rating.
If his Taunts are the standard (Reduces opponent attack rating by 40% during special attacks) and the opponent also has their attack rating reduced via his passive ability and Inequity. It would decrease opponent attack rating during special attacks by 106%, which I don't think they would implement.
The doc-ock one allows him to inflict injury on the opponent with heavy attack for 13 seconds, reducing opponent by 100%.
Shang-shi one is if he does perfect timed block or dodge, he reduces opponent physical resistance by 1400 for 30 seconds and it stacks 3 times.
Hit monkey one allows him to inflict fragility if he has +6 webbing, increasing his Crit damage rating by 2400 and reducing opponent block proficiency by 50%.
These are pretty good, just would have been better if they were somehow implemented into his actual kit.
Also, no synergies with Venom, scorpion, etc.
I expect the same for Iceman buff
If the Taunt works like I hope it will he'll be a good controlling champion for many (other) fights.
I'm looking forward to giving him a try with Kraven and Doc Ock, to see what the synergies are like. I don't think we've seen the Sandman or Shocker synergies yet either, so there might be something juicy there.
Mine is sitting quite happily at 6*R1, and if he's okay I might rank him up to R2 but the problem is he doesn't seem to be special enough to upgrade any higher.
