Robots should be immune to life steal

Dear kabam,

By your logic, robots can't "Heal" from willpower. They should also be immune from life steal of any and all forms (magik/ rogue) because their health isn't "life." They are robots after all.

How can they steal robotic energy and use it to heal themselves?

They must therefore be immune to life steal. Also, degen shouldn't work on them since they, again, are robots. They don't degenerate like organic matter. Especially ones made of vibranium.

    And when robots become degen immune kabam will release a new offer selling robotic clones of all champions in order to defeat 5.2 for only 69.000.000$

    Ultron can regenerate. Why shouldn't he degenerate too?

    Cause he's really repairing himself with little nano bots or something whereas regeneration like wolverine is cellular based. That's what I always figured in my head, maybe I need to use Kabam logic to make it pass muster in my head.

    But that doesn't necessarily mean Ultron should be unable to degenerate. If something can regenerate, it should also be able to degenerate (i.e the opposite). Degeneration isn't exclusive to living matter.

    Nerd alert warning!

    Well, i believe ultrons healing isnt called regeneration but self repair. Self repair is like re-welding ripped parts back together while regeneration is just making new matter to replace the old. Since Kabam calls ultron healing self repair it doesn't follow your logic of "if something regenerates it should be able to degenerate."

    If I ripped ultrons arm off, is he degenerating?

    Tomato, tomatoe. I think degen should be living matter based but hey, I also think electro shouldn't take shock damage from electro.

    I don't think $69mil makes kabam enough money. I think that offer would be at least $299 billion. Lol

    To Degenerate is to slowly wear away or fall apart. Technically​, robots can Regenerate​, they just call it Self-Repair to sound cool, so yes, they should Degenerate.

    OK, fair enough on the wording of self repair- I hadn't noticed that. But your original explanation did essentially describe the creation of new matter (how else would nano bots be able to repair his components?).

    I would agree that ripping of Ultrons arms would not count as degenerating, but how about the degradation of cells (be them organic/inorganic)?

    In any case, I agree we've probably gotten too far into a game mechanic which exists essentially because robots are currently immune to damage-over-time effects (other than shock, I believe? But that doesn't seem to make sense canonically with most champs that have degen-inflicting abilities). Call it whatever you wish, but I do not believe that robots should be immune to pretty much everything.

    Off topic: I agree on Electro, much like I don't think Iceman should take damage from cold snap...
