Kabam wants to limit the surprise of the defenders to only the defenders themselves but not these extra abilities. The one referred to before was Rag Hulk's "Smash" synergy with Rag Thor. Kabam doesn't want players to be surprised when he suddenly can go unblockable.
The issue is that they cannot reveal synergies without also revealing other hidden champs since these new synergies are champ specific. So if you face a Medusa, you will know that player also placed a Blackbolt depending on how many fury stacks she can generate or if they post the synergy is active or not.
Before, if you used synergies they would apply to the whole team and were done without revealing what other champs are in play, whereas these new ones would reveal specific champs if enabled or not. You could boost crit rates or perfect block chances with any number of combinations, but wouldn't necessarily be surprise abilities.
