Neutralize working too well?

Biggie__________

Can someone explain this one?
Red Godian is buff immune.
When you dex with neutralize applied it "fails the buff" and slaps on an incinerate.
But there's no buff to fail.
This is also the case with other buff immune champs. Cassie and Titania for example.
Thoughts?

Theres a lame excuse that even though they are buff immune, the neutralize prevents the buff from triggering. They are immune to buffs but supposedly they still trigger buffs. Kabam logic. Smh. Dumbest thing i ever heard.

He cannot be immune to something that does not get triggered.

It’s not a lame excuse it’s order of operations. It makes perfect sense. Ability accuracy check has to happen first because a champ that is immune to something can’t trigger that immunity if the effect fails its ability accuracy check.

A great example is sunspot vs maestro. Maestro is incinerate immune. Sunspot gains power when an incinerate fails to apply due to AAR. When sunspot attacks maestro while glancing is active, he gets the burst of power despite maestro being incinerate immune.

No wonder my Red Guardian and Spiderman 2099 got melted by Wiccan without even being touched by him.
