Ghost Rider not incinerate immune in AQ

Why is Ghost Rider not incinerate immune in AQ Map 6? Human Torch just killed my GR in 10 seconds without landing a hit. No way he could do that unless GR still takes incinerate damage from him. What is going on?

Nova Flames and not incinerate effects. They are passive DoT that deal energy damage.
There is no bug here
Instead of "Nova Flames", let's change the same to "Maw Slaps". Maw Slaps is a passive ability that deal energy DoT.
Now, why do you think Ghost Rider should be immune to the Maw Slaps? He isn't immune to energy damage, isn't it? You don't see Maw Slaps dealing incinerate damage, or even be incinerate effects at all, do you?
It says nothing about being incinerate effects. In fact it states the opposite.
Colossus is not immune to nova flames either
Your issue in AQ is the node on Torch. I assume its a map 5 mini. At 7 shoulders he goes into nova form which he gets from you hitting him as a mystic and raising his temperature. GR isba terrible matchup for AQ Torch because Torch can automatically go into nova form. Colossus would be fine as he won't raise Torch shoulders or temperature as he's not a mystic
There isn't any bug and both interactions are working exactly as intended. Just because you don't believe something should be the way it is, doesn't mean it's wrong.
Torch gains smolders differently against mystics as every hit will had 1 smolder. The torch in AQ states he enters nova at 7 smolders and max temp which is your issue.
This is clearly an intentional interaction
Try to duel GR against Torch and the fight will be fine as he won't be abke to activate his nova flame without incinerates on you or his lvl3
Nova Flame Passives are treated as Incinerate Debuffs for all of Human Torch's abilities.
There is also a specific dev note on the champion spotlight
Dev Notes: Nova Flame Passives deal the same damage and last for the same duration as the Incinerate they’re replacing. In addition to the effects listed here, they can also bypass an Opponent’s immunity to Incinerate. And with the number of Incinerates Johnny is able to apply in a short period of time, it’s possible to build up a lot of Power Stings very quickly.
