Cap can nullify unstoppable buffs when he has at least one kinetic charge. For the nullify to happen you need to hit your opponent. There are two ways of doing this: parry or intercept.
One of the two methods won't be viable anymore after the update meaning his nullify just got 50% less useable.
This will affect everyone except the top 1% of players who can 100% intercept every time. For example I consider myself above average but still I use the parry sometimes just to be safe.
Thoughts on all this?

He also is one of the easier champs to intercept because his AI is so insanely aggressive.
You can still parry to get your charge. But then you have to take a combo and bait out his heavy. Good thing is cap takes hardly any block damage.
I dare say juggs will be a better defender than he ever was.
I dont like this change at all i think it is BS.
Just saying how to work with it
It also depends on juggs recovery time after getting parried when he's unstoppable. As long as I have time to evade back after the parry is shrugged off, I am ok with that. But if its a parry and automatically have him hitting me like the SM/NC evade/attack bug. I will not be so happy about that. But at least you can avoid it by not parrying him and hopefully you don't get cornered trying to bounce around him.
Im sorry but what makes you think the "top 1%" can 100% intercept every time?
Its a buff to make Juggs better as a defender. I actually like the change and think it adds value to Juggs. Quit screaming nerf when there is none.
You're nitpicking too much, I meant that as in only the top best skilled players can intercept almost all the time.
Since you say it's a buff to Juggie you have to accept it's an indirect nerf to cap iw. You can't say otherwise since parry+hit=nullify is a strategy that was very viable before the upcoming update. It's a fact proven by other comments above you.
To sum it up: juggie got a buff, cap iw got an indirect nerf. I'm not sure I like the change, I'll have to see when the update comes. Cool that you like it.
Imagine if Iron man was changed to be bleed immune, is that a wolverine nerf? A blade nerf? A carnage nerf? No, nope and definitely not.
No he didn't. Evey champ has that ability to parry then hit. He can still do what is intended. That in itself means its not a nerf. If anyone is nitpicking, its you. Also, you dont have to be a super skilled player to intercept all the time. You just have to watch for the opportunities. Its no different that him being on stun immune. You arent going to see 50 juggs on defense. Let it go and move on.
If IW Cap has a kinetic charge, just punish Juggs like you would any champ after evading a special. No intercept needed for Cap. This makes IWCap a better option against Juggs as everyone else gets worse due to no parry.
To be fair, if you have an ability to shut down unstoppable, which only applies to a few champs, and one of the ways you can do it is stopped, that's not even close to making one champ bleed immune. At the same time, it's not a big deal. Shutting down Jugs isn't what makes IW Cap valuable.
I just tried him and he can still negate the unstoppable
Well the update hasnt happened yet.
