Professor X silently nerfed

So after fighting Stryfe and then other champs with the new “Psychic Shielding” tag, I found that champs with that tag (Stryfe, both Mags, Jugs, UC, Sinister and Prof X himself) are treated basically as tech champions when fighting them using Prof X. This means that he gains no vigilance passive at 25+ charges (which first tipped me off to this since I tried and failed using Prof X to bypass falter from Stryfe’s node in EQ), and he loses a lot more power after using specials during mind control.
It’s a mechanic that I guess makes sense logically, but I gotta say I’m not a fan of Kabam introducing new mechanics in the game that nerf characters with no announcement. This champion tag may be a small pool, but what’s to stop Kabam from suddenly saying Quake can’t cause earthquakes/aftershocks against #Flying champs one day. Or whatever other tag-based nerf that’s introduced and that affects basically just one champ, well after that champ is introduced in the game. Just not a cool practice.
Anyhow, just thought you’d all want to know. If somebody has already seen Kabam announce this then please correct me.

So I would turn it the other way around. Professor X wasn‘t nerfed, he was stronger/not working as intended before. He never should have worked against those Champs due to their Char/Lore abilities. They just fixed what they screwed up before.
