Archangel's poison on opponent blocking changed, assuming it's a bug [Not A Bug]

When AA first came out his poison ability was such that hitting a blocking opponent triggered poison on them.

A few weeks later it was reversed to the harder-to-execute poison if AA is blocking (not the opponent).

Based on some threads elsewhere I assumed this was an intentional nerf. However @Kabam Miike recently stated that if they haven't said it's a nerf it's a bug (in the Dormammu broken sig thread).

@Kabam Miike Can you confirm that this is indeed a bug and wasn't a nerf? If so it looks like no one on these forums has reported it yet (I did a pretty exhaustive search in the "bugs and known issues" category).

So just to clarify:
  • March 1st — March 15th: Archangel poison procs when he is hitting a blocking opponent
  • March 16th — Today: Archangel poison procs when opponent is hitting him while blocking

If this was unintentional can you please let the Game Team know so they can put it on their bug fix roadmap?

    you cannot find the references because it happened on the old forums.
    I have an update on a couple things here:

    First, Archangel causing bleeds [poisons] when the opponent is blocking is a bug, and we will have to fix that. Sorry guys, I know that some of you liked it.

    Second, his Ability IS meant to scale when his signature increases, and we've got a fix prepared for that as well.

    We'll be pushing these fixes later today. Still working with the team on his Attacks doing energy damage and looking into LC and DE instantly causing Neurotoxin.

    The bug was from March 1 - March 15. His description states that poison procs when your opponent hits your block. Not the other way around. So the change on March 16 was not a nerf. The bug was fixed and AA is now working as intended.

    It was a bug.
    Archangel was probably the champ that was released with more bugs than any others ... Some of those were fixed until now, but his passive ability is not working since he was released

    Thanks for this, I'm mostly a Reddit user and didn't know that they didn't migrate the content from the old forums. Do you know if they backed it up somewhere?

    Hey OP. The poison was always supposed to proc on block, and was fixed on the March 16th update. Sorry for the confusion!
