Infamous Iron man infinite special lock situation

Given the recent scandal regarding the nerf of root, which I will no longer call a bug since the devs have said it themselves "root was too reliable so we wanted to change it", which is nothing close to a bug fix, I have realized that another character can infinitely lock opponents down, leaving them unable to fire a single special attack and that is INFAMOUS IRON MAN.
I plan to take him to rank 5 next and I wanted to come here and make this post directly asking @Kabam Miike to CONFIRM that this is intended and that they will not nerf this now or in the future, so that me and many others DO NOT put more resources into this champion to use him the way he works here:

take him up and have fun
Zemo was still in his rebalancing stage as well. Y'all just love to make stuff up.
He only blames the community
For those who don’t know how to apply the indefinite power lock this is how you do it
Race to nearly 3 bars of power
As you cross the full 3 bars of power during your combo action your heavy - as this triggers the aura or iron and hit SP3 after the first slap
Now each champ gets a power gain buff
Get to and action your SP1
Your opponent is now power locked.
If it’s a long fight race back to SP3 and keep the lock active. Repeat until they are KO’d
He has always functioned like this and Kabam knew, there is no reason to nerf him, especially since the special lock is limited to simply the duration of the iron aura.
There's nothing that IDoom does that makes him more OP than what was happening with root. As pointed out, it's not infinite either. It relies on the defender cooperating for the sp1 where with root, they're locked into place.
It's possible that down the road, if they introduce another champ of similar abilities that breaks that mechanic as well that changes could come but chances of that are small.
Idoom can infinitely special lock using a striker after the sp3, that’s just the way it is. Doom still has a lot of risk, but Idoom can do it without any risk and with plenty of time left on the aura, so much so that you can fit an sp2 aswell.
Overdramatic much?
You don't get to name call anyone in a public forums.
People have opinions which are not aligned with yours. The number of disagrees says for itself, Welcome to the internet.
