is Mole Man still bugged with his true accuracy and frenzy? skill r 3-4 gem

I got a skill r 3-4 gem from exploring 7.4. I am thinking about ranking up Mole Man because i use the suicides mastery.

However, i heard people talking about he is bugged with his true accuracy and frenzy. I did a quick search on the forum and found there are people saying both ways (ie. he is bugged vs he is not). Also, i did not find this issue in this post "KNOWN ISSUES (VERSION 34.0), https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/298896/known-issues-version-34-0#latest" .

Does this mean i am safe and Mole Man is not bugged?

I have no intention to rank up a bugged champion who is subject to change. This means i will have to wait for a long time to get my NF awakened (i pulled him three years ago and used my 6* generic on another champion....).

Kabam, could we please get a confirmation on this issue?

Your thoughts?

thanks guys!

    His current working is in direct contradiction to his kit description and even the way he works currently. Hence why people call it a bug.

    It is a bug, strictly speaking. It's not the best situation to be in. If they ever do fix it(I doubt they will, it's one of the reasons people rank him up, myself included), they should do the champion selling thing like namor and cull instead of RDTs

    Now the way Moleman works should not change, It's been a while but still you never know.

    But if it changes I hope they will give Rankdowns as I to have rakanked him to r3 , not knowing initially.

    No. Because people rank up a known bugged champion does not mean you deserve rank downs, especially if they ranked him for the bugged (not saying you did but in general)

    Most people are disagreeing because I might be "bringing it to Kabam's notice", but for those who genuinely believe it is not a bug:

    I made up a loophole some time ago to convince myself that MM remains below 10 when we activate frenzy so it should be fine but all the programmers and math people will know that I was fooling myself, the antecedent is clearly made up of two simple propositions combined by AND.

    sorry for the logic lecture, you probably won't read this anyway if you disagreed

    well, as you can see in this post, people definitely have different opinions regarding whether Mole Man is bugged or not.

    Champion’s descriptions are not definitive, we all know what happened with Herc regarding his signature ability descriptions and his ability to tank a sp3. Kabam can simply say it is a misdescription.

    Also, just because an ability has been in the game for a long time does not mean it is working as intended. We all know the Ultron “nerf.”

    Because mole man is such a popular champion, I think we deserve a clarification from the Kabam developer once for all. What is worse than the unknowns? This is particularly important for the new players. Let us make informed rank up decisions! @Kabam Miike

    If they “fix” him, it will change his playability substantially. I want to keep the true accuracy, I’m at 8 mole mass, so I can’t block? That’s not a sustainable playstyle. My guess is that the team is trying to decide ifand how to address this. It would be in their worst interest to change him, imo. But I’d also wait to rank 4 until we know for sure

    The problem with this is that your comment was edited by a Kabam employee but they declined to even say hold that thought - I’ll find out. Which in their case would be a case of shouting across a room or emailing a different floor.

    Mods moved it from general to bugs section. Thats all they did when it says 'edited'.

    Im pretty sure mods are also in the dark on this topic, just as we are.

    Can we have some updates on this issue?

    Still no words at all? Please pay attention to this issue. @Kabam Miike

    Why there is still no news? It is a simple yes or no question. @Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit

    I’m glad this thread was revived, it highlights the issue pretty well. People were asking for an answer on if moleman was bugged or just for simple clarification on the issue months back. This certainly was not the first time the community asked for an answer on moleman over the last year and a few months. Looking at the post dates there is at least 4 different separate where we asked for a response.

    This is an absolute failure on the part of Kabam. The big thread has nearly 200 reply’s and still no word, so much for an open line of communication in the future.

    Unbelievable that this amazing champion would be intentionally buffed with a supposed “bug,” allowed to remain as is for more than a year while all the inquiries about his abilities were ignored, then nerfed into mediocrity with a patch note the day before July 4rth deals. Kabam’s managed the near impossible feat of destroying my excitement and willingness to participate in the upcoming deals
