Taskmaster Buff, Inspired by Below Thread

"Wow, two buff ideas in one day? This guy is a machine!" Thanks, I try. But I saw the thread below about Taskmaster's synergies, and I thought about it. And thought about it. And came up with this. The idea is that instead of him exploiting the weakness of your fighting style, he does what he does in... well, I've never read the comics. But... Ultimate Spider-Man? And copies your fighting style as his own. So...
TASKMASTER
(Insert base stats here.)
ANALYTICAL MIND
Taskmaster learns his opponent's fighting style.
Whenever his opponent strikes his block, he gains +1% block penetration.
Whenever his opponent strikes, he gains +1% attack.
Whenever he strikes his opponents block, he gains +1% block proficiency.
Whenever he strikes the opponent, he gains +1% armor rating.
Whenever his opponent activates a buff, he gains the corresponding ability.
Fury- +5% attack.
Precision- +5% Critical Rating.
Cruelty- +5% Critical damage rating
Armor Up- +5% Armor
Whenever his opponent evades an attack, he gains +5% chance to evade.
Whenever his opponent auto-blocks, he gains +5% chance to auto-block.
TACTICAL RECONNAISSANCE
At the start of every fight, Taskmaster enters reconnaissance mode for 5 seconds.
While in reconnaissance mode, all stat gains are multiplied by 5. (So, when he's hit, he gains +5% attack instead of 1%.)
While in reconnaissance mode, Taskmaster is only testing the opponent's reactions, so his attacks deal 0 damage. However, because his focus is on them, his reflexes are more effective, giving all their attacks a 100% chance to miss. (These misses count as attacks, so he still gains attacks from them.)
SPECIAL ATTACKS
Enter Tactical reconnaissance mode for 5 seconds.
AWAKENED ABILITIES
PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY
Taskmaster copies 1 Fury, Precision, Cruelty, or Armor up buff per fight, storing it as a persistent charge.
At the beginning of the fight, and after using special attacks, he gains the buffs in his persistent charge for 15 seconds.
I mean, it's not the craziest buff idea ever, but I think it's a good one. It works for Taskmaster. Comment if you want to see synergies, but I'm not doing those right now.

That said, the concept is great! Adds a bunch more much-needed damage and safety to Taskmaster's kit in a creative fashion.
Only real issue would be reading up on all this in-game.
This is a really solid idea! This would make Taskmaster go from avoiding the champ and pretending he's not there to a fully enjoyable skill class beast of a character.
