Warlock infection interaction with KP

Caleb1705

I have a question about Kingpin's regeneration vs Warlock's infection. I had a recent BG match where KP shrugged off the infection (would reach 20 nanotech charges and then the passive would disappear outright). KP would also get several "immune" call outs during re-(re-re-re)parries and would not gain any nanotech charges at all.

KP's discription says that he is immune to regeneration modification


but to my understanding at least, warlock does not modify the rate but rather prevents healing entirely


I have always been able to counter KP willpower healing with Warlock, and have tried recreating this interaction in solo content without success.

Is there something in either kit I am not understanding, or something to do with the BG regen meta that I am overlooking?

Warlocks infections drop off quicker the more buffs the opponent has. Does KP get lots of buffs in the meta?

Stacking regeneration buffs from attacker proximity, that must be it. Thank you!
