Sometimes I think you make these arguments just for the sake of being argumentative. There is no way anyone could possibly be this obtuse.
1) Claire nullifies buffs at the expense of charges and that is intended and not changing.
2) This is an issue caused by inconsistencies with when she nullifies buffs in relation to other nullifying champions. She nullifies after an attack lands, others nullify when/before the attack lands. This is mostly an issue due to how Unstoppable works and this caused confusion.
3) Claire nullifies unstoppable after the attack lands unlike CAIW who nullifies before the attack lands. This is an important distinction because Unstoppable makes a champion “hit stun immune”. Since CAIW nullifies before the hit lands “hit stun immunity” is not in play unlike Claire who hits the opponent while they are “hit stun immune” then the unstoppable is nullified Leaving the opponent free to act. People were getting smacked around due to not understanding this and Kabam is changing the description to make this clearer. (IMO not needed as the current description adequately conveys that).
Yes, if you intercept Juggy, you nullify the unstoppable but still get hit. If that’s what they’re clarifying, that’s fine by me...
I see the word “safely” thrown in there...
The way it was stated she’s meant to nullify buffs that occur on contact makes it sound more like stagger tho...
So their wording to fix the wording is flawed, lol
P.S. Read, Reread and then notice the only person Saying she will not nullify preexisting buffs is not from Kabam.
And people wonder why there is a lack of trust?
Sorry but your defense of this change is not grounded in facts. The facts are clear:
The description will read something like “....after landing a hit Claire nullifies 1 buff at the expense of a charge.“

The video is actually the reason for the text change. People expected her to be able to nullify unstoppable without immediately getting smacked in the face.
All of this is speculation though because only Kabam knows what Kabam’s doing...half of the time.
If you’re saying Kabam Zibiit is misinterpreting what Kabam said, then what was actually stated?
This is all that needs clarification. The unstoppable part makes sense given her current ability description.
now we wait
Second, her Nullify is currently functioning as designed, which is to allow her to Nullify Buffs after she lands a Light/Medium Attack. The timing of this Nullify ability allows her to Nullify Buffs that are already on her opponent, as well as Buffs the opponent gains from her hit. So if the opponent already had an Armor Up Buff when Claire hits them with a Light Attack (and she has a Clairvoyance Charge to spend), she can Nullify that Buff. If the same scenario happened against an opponent who had no Buffs on them, but they gained an Armor Up Buff from Claire's hit, she can Nullify the new Buff as well.
Additionally, she can and will continue be able to Nullify Unstoppable Buffs with the ability, but her Nullify happens after her hit. In other words, if her and her opponent hit each other at the same time, the opponent will be Unstoppable at the time Claire's attack lands and will get the benefit from the Buff during that hit. While she may have to take some risk to Nullify and already active Unstoppable, she can still do so or she can prevent the Unstoppable, or other Buffs, from occurring by placing Buff Immunity on the opponent with her SP2. Since this question has been addressed, and since this thread had gone a bit off the rails, this thread will now be closed.
