Invisible Woman Synergy Needs Improvement
Savage
Posts: 621 ★★★
Okay so I've always wondered why does Invisible Woman have such a vital ability gimped by an ineffective synergy?
Her main weaknesses are the inability to parry on all matchups in order to obtain maximum damage output and also multiple hit special attacks that cancel her invisibility entirely.
Yet Red Guardian, a fresh champion from Kabam has the ability to prevent the loss of his damage output on parries (not multiple hit specials but you should get what I'm saying here.) In addition, Sunspot can gain incinerates back by parrying once during a multiple hit special!
I think it's unfair that Invisible Woman who already arguably requires the most amount of skill to play when it comes to a champion has such a huge disadvantage which makes playing her not worthwhile. Why does her Fantastic Four synergy not give her complete immunity to losing her invisibility through parried hits? It doesn't increase her damage much... it would just be used defensively when you need some room.

It's been a while now so wouldn't be it good to take another look at invisible woman again?
Hell I even think it'd be great if she was toned down to 30 invulnerabilities rather than 50 and had more potent invulnerability debuffs.
This synergy works okay for everyone else (maybe not Maw so much) as the opponent can Miss them repeatedly. But when you 'Miss' IW, it unpauses her Invisibility, so you can benefit at most once or twice before losing both your Invisibility and all the Vulnerability debuffs.
If it triggered when you Dodge an attack whilst Invisible instead, that would be way better; although it might need dropped down to 5% or have a cooldown to stop it being unbalanced.
Here's a balance suggestion for if/when Invisible Woman gets revisited:
Vulnerabilities have a duration of 0.5 seconds, but are paused when Invisibility is active. When Invisibility is lost, Vulnerabilities begin to be lost one after another, in series (i.e. they diminish like CMM's Binary charges do).
50 vulnerabilities would take a full 25 seconds to be completely lost. With an Invisibility cooldown of ten seconds, you'd still have Vulnerabilities active by the time you could reactivate Invisibility, so you wouldn't need to start from scratch each time.
This mechanism would help to sustain her damage a bit better, without fundamentally changing her abilities.
