Scorp evade

Sachhyam257

I was just doing a bg fight earlier- my quicksilver vs scorpion; and I swear I had my slow up on him (I was on 600+ charges), yet scorp still evaded my basic attack and countered with his sting. Is he immune to slow or sth? I was playing comfortably knowing I had the slow up but that completely caught me by surprise and cost me the match.

Victory track meta btw (clarity+dazed). I had the true stike from the node up too, but not 100% sure it was on me at that very instant.

So there's this but at the end of the defense tactic that for each resistance charge they gain +5% evade chance against medium and light attacks

Slow isn't guaranteed to stop evades, it's only a -100% chance. If there's something increasing evade chance past 100% (like House of Mirrors does), it can still leave a chance to evade while slowed.

True strike should've stopped it though.

It's not increasing it above a 100% though? It's 8% base +5% per resistance, to a max of 7 resistances. So 43%? Unless some order of operation interaction is going on, slow should still work right?

The house of mirrors are not affected by abiltiy accuracy i think.

You’re forgetting that House of Mirrors provides a chance to evade (and autoblock) that is explicitly unaffected by ability accuracy reductions like slow. Quicksilver can prevent Scorpion’s base kit scorpion-sense evade but not the one from house of mirrors.

If you had the true strike from Enhanced soldiers then yeah that just straight up blocks evade and that would be a bug, but I suspect you’re just mistaken.
