Current battlegrounds - broken

The node affects in the gladiator track says if suffering from shock or incinerate then defender suffers -200% evade and auto block. This is broken. The defenders are able to evade and auto block with 100% accuracy while shocked or incinerated. Attuma defender evades Shuri while shocked (rebuffed and passive). Red skull evaded and auto blocked while incinerated from Human Torch. This is a node affect not a personal affect and so it should not be affected by any defender ability that avoids or negates ability accuracy. Thoughts?

1: Attuma reverses all ability accuracy modifications, so the node causes him to actually gain increased evade ability accuracy. Not a bug.
2: I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume you activated Torch’s prefight as you usually would, in which case he inflicts nova flames instead of incinerates. Nova flames are not incinerates, so no evade AAR. If my assumption is correct, that is also not a bug.

Also the effects of nodes are treated as an additional ability of the champion. Barring abilities that explicitly only look for champion abilities (e.g. Red Skull is only immune to nullifies from champions, not nodes), nodes are to be treated as extensions of champion kits. If a champ like Shuri is unaffected by AAR, node AARs don’t get special exemption and reduce her AA anyways.

Very nice response Squidopus. Your assumption with HT was correct. Thank you for that.
