Useful for champs that reduce ability accuracy
For example, OG black widow reduces ability accuracy by 80% I think, and the relic will give her a precision effect each time an enemy ability fails to trigger

Basically it has a 100% chance to do nothing. If this ability fails, then it makes a 'Beep' callout appear when the opponent gets hit.

By itself, that's just a cosmetic ability; and may sound a bit stupid.

However: it means that the opponent now has an ability which can fail.

If the attacker can punish ability failure (like Black Cat or BWDO inflicting Sabotage damage), then the Beeper debuff is an ability that can fail every time they get hit.

A lot of champions don't have intrinsic abilities that happen when you hit them; so there's nothing for Sabotage to punish; so no damage gets inflicted.

Against these opponents, the Beeper debuff gives them an 'ability' which can fail; giving the Attacker something for Sabotage to punish, and inflict a burst of damage.

W write up

Just to make it crystal clear to OP since Magrailothos did such a good write up, the beeper debuff only shows up when you use the striker ability of the black widow relic. If you have that attached to some skill champion, then that would be why you're seeing it everywhere.
