**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Does silver surfer take Incinerate damage against Torch?

These are the nodes and I have video as well.

Does anyone know why Silver Surfer took Incinerate damage after launching SP1?

    Enhanced incinerate. SS reduces the damage by 100%, but the node increases it by 40%

    So 140 -100 = 40%

    Yes he does
  • rockykostonrockykoston Posts: 1,505 ★★★★

    Torch does 140% incinerate damage.

    Surfer reduces that by -100%.

    Surfer takes 40% incinerate damage.

    Each smoulder adds another 10%

    Hmm , makes sense in a certain way but still odd.

    Surfer reduces damage by 100%, so whatever the incoming Incinerate damage, he should reduce it. It's not like his Ability to reduce damage is affected.

    When you take percentages away from percentages, you're left with a percentage.

    You’re thinking of it in a (fair) logical way where 100% of something is that entire sum.

    But think of it more as a stat. Torch has 100% base damage for incinerate. And surfer has base 100% resistance to it.

    Normally, torch does his 100% of X damage, and surfer resists it by 100%.

    So if torch does 500 base damage by incinerate, surfer resists 500 of it.

    100% x 500 - 100% of 500 = 0 damage taken

    But when torch has enhanced incinerate, and he does an extra 40% incinerate damage, that means he now does 140% incinerate damage. But unfortunately surfer can still only resist 100% of the base damage, not the enhanced damage.

    So we take that 500 damage figure and we get the following

    140% x 500 - 100% x 500 =

    = 700 - 500 = 200 damage taken


    That’s how he can take damage against enhanced nodes
    Yup yup

    Numbers make more sense instead of percentages but I get it.

    Just tried against another regular torch and I think it's safe to say, never use SS against Torch (any SS)

    Thanks everyone I get it.

    for that they make champs incinerate immune, not resistent.
  • AverageDesiAverageDesi Posts: 5,260 ★★★★★
    it does not help that some percentages do work like complete immunities like omega reds tentacle and namors sig and things protection

    SS is great for HT, just don't launch sp1 and don't block las hit of his specials.

    I prefer to simply evade HT's sp1 in it's entirety

    Does this also factor into the math?

    Meaning Surfer still has the Debuffs, is 100% immune, but Torch’s incinérâtes do this where other incinerates don’t affect champs this way.

    I believe that will only affect any willpower healing from them, it won’t affect the actual damage the incinerates do.

    If surfer came up against the enhanced incinerate node elsewhere it would still have the same effect on damage regardless of torches specific incinerate healing reduction.

    No, because the regeneration would only affect something like Willpower healing.

    Surfer is resistant to incinerate, not immune.

    But for people seeing so much damage from Torch’s incinerates who have willpower on, wouldn’t that just enhance the visual of the amount of damage Surfer takes. Especially in AW if the opponent Torch has despair?

    Kabam thinks percentages are units not percentages of a total. Its psychotic but thats what's going on. They don't understand that reducing 100% of anything is all of it, whether its 100%, 2%, or 150%, or they do but they don't care.
    It’s absolutely not psychotic. It’s how the game is built and works. Kabam understand this clearly, so I do i. The only example of someone not understanding it, appears to be you I’m afraid.

    They do understand that 100% of something is all of it, but they have decided to use the other method as previously explained. You can disagree with that all you want, call it psychotic, complain to your hearts content. It doesn’t change that the logic and the numbers are sound no matter how much you may think it’s not.

    What *could* change, is the in game description and clarity. Based on the fact we have these threads every couple of weeks, it could be explained a little more clearly in game to avoid this issue. Although to be fair, I have explained this to you a few times, and you still seem just as angry about it so I’m not sure it would fully solve the problem.
    It’s absolutely clear as day what @BitterSteel is saying is correct. Also at this point you can’t change it because it would massively imbalance the game both in our favour and not in our favour
    Yep, this system works in our favour with longshot’s increased ability accuracy. Hell, when using Torch on offence you can damage surfer, it saves you having to use pre fight. Oddly enough, people are only complaining about the part that negatively affects them, conveniently forgetting the part that benefits them.

    Taking 100% reduced damage from *anything* incinerate would be OP, willpower healing with no con. Game balance is a thing people.

    I understand the frustration but I think it’s best understood with a simple notation change. All of these things are additive. That’s why a 200% attack node dropping in AQ doesn’t cut Apocalypse’s attack to a third its prior value.

    We wouldn’t have these discussions as often if it was presented as

    +200% attack
    Or
    -100% damage from incinerate.

    It’s also a contrast to immune champs and no-damage champs. Electro takes no damage from shock so he’s immune to shock enhancement. Mephisto for incinerate should operate the same way. Circus’s glaive immunity too. “Does not take damage” is their “multiply by zero.” -100% is just that.
