Why does my 5* BP-CW have a Zero Armor Rating in Attributes?

Exploring Attributes and discovered a weird (to me) "fact"!

Admittedly... I am not well-versed in the "nuts & bolts" of MCOC... but my other Champs have significant Armor listed in the same spot! Example:

Can anyone explain this!

I use Panther in AW-Defence and he was "Killer" (often 2-5 enemy KO's)... and lately he's zero kills and a speed bump to most AW Foes!

This can't be correct... can it?

Please and Thank You!

Just looked at KillMonger and he definitely has an Armor Rating!

Seriously... this would explain my BP-CW's poor performance lately!!!

He has always had zero armor along with Karnak and IF. Its by design.

That makes sense???!!!

How???

Rogue has no "Armor" Ability and has a significant Armor Rating!!!

KiltMonger has virtually identical "Armor" Ability (and presumably identical armor) and has a higher than Rogue Rating (ok Rogue was chosen for NO Armor ability)!

BP-CW has got to have something as base armor rating!!??

VIBRANIUM ARMOR!!!

Right??!!!

It is by design - BPCW, Karnak and Iron Fist have zero base armour.

I'm not saying it makes any sense, particularly in the case of BPCW. It was a design choice, in an attempt to balance them against other champions.

It does at least allow us to disprove the theory that there is no such thing as a negative armour rating, since you deal more damage against Iron Fist after an armour break.
