Infamous Iron man infinite special lock situation

in General Discussion
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:

    And here’s proof that I’m not joking, he really is my next rank 5 SPECIFICALLY because he can infinitely special lock.

    Uhm… like I said… until I have my confirmation from @Kabam Miike himself, I just can’t trust that info. They clearly never test this kind of stuff as proven by the root incident, so I feel like any champion could just get nerfed for having a 100% reliable lockdown rotation.

    I've actually had him at rank 5 for a while and the way it works feels completely different to the entire Zemo lock situation. It's closer to how mystic doom has the potential to lock opponents power-wise. That being said. Kabam will kabam and i genuinely will not be surprised if it's announced both dooms will be changed.

    That’s why I wanted to make the post, even if they never answer, it’ll be here. Waiting for them to find some "bugs".

    IDoom is not the same as Zemo. They didn't magically find a bug either. IDoom is way past his rebalancing phase so they won't touch him. He was designed specifically do what you're talking about.

    Zemo was still in his rebalancing stage as well. Y'all just love to make stuff up.

    I have a R5 sig 200 6* iDoom and he can indefinitely power lock any opponent.

    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

    That’s not infinite, the special lock ends once you refresh your iron aura by activating the SP3 again.

    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.

    Kraven was well past his non existent balance period too. Kabam can decide to change a champ whenever they want to and you know that. No bug doesn't mean they can't change the champ for being OP.
    I'm fully aware they can change any champ at any time. iDoom won't be on that list. Kraven is a byproduct of Zemo/Root changes. That's why people are getting RDTs.

    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.

    This is a pretty good example of what i was trying to say earlier. It's closer to how Doom works than to how Zemo was working

    OP thinks they’re important enough that mods will reply directly to him at his specific request 🙄

    Wrong, you parry stun before you sp3 and use the striker after doing a combo, which lands you to another sp1, special locking again.

    Yes, because it seems people don’t even know about this rotation, so neither does kabam, I’m sure.
    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.

    You two are the salty ones, I’m just here getting things done. From the Root post now to this, I won’t be taking any bs from Kabam.

    Lol why is one person disagreeing with the picture? That you @GroundedWisdom ?
    I disagreed,
    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.

    And 1 trick pony MidDoom mid.
