Dragon Man has been nerfed / patched after two years?

A lot of people in the community know about Dragon Man’s ability to regen the damage you would have taken if you dex an attack while unstoppable. There’s countless posts praising this “hidden ability” on the forums, reddit, and youtube. Here are a couple:

Everyone who discussed the ability seemed to enjoy it, it was a good part of Dragon Man’s kit and wasn’t overpowered (most don’t even consider Dragon Man to be A tier, let alone S tier for mystics). We’ll, I’ve tested all today and the ability is gone. When Dexing and unstoppable, you no longer regen. I’m perplexed as to why Kabam effectively nerfed Dragon Man without so much as a word. I think they should either undo the nerf or give out rank down tickets. I for one have Dragon Man as one of my 4 R3’s simply because of his powerful regen ability that has been nerfed into the ground.

There were issues in Act 8 beta when champs that would proc an effect when they autoblock would do it even if they didn't .

Ghost will gain power when she dexes and attack while phased even though she didn't 'miss'. Sunspot consumes incinerates when he dexes. Hitbox issue ?

Im aware DD was a documented change & rightfully so. It was an ability he had that wasn’t listed for several years so yes, it was hidden or an “Easter egg”.

Regardless, these are semantics we’re going back and forth about when this is all part of a larger , communication problem.

Did Kabam document that Dragon man was bugged over the last 2 years or no ?

If not, that’s pretty bad communication

The whole “not in his description” thing loses merit when you consider OG daredevils ability description never mentioned, or wasn’t updated for years, to match his ability to bypass miss. In game descriptions aren’t always clear , correct or listed.

Look at Galans L2 right now. How many threads & posts have been made asking if his ability to incinerate thru block is intended? No answer from Kabam on that.
Daredevil's was an easter egg and it was later added to his description.

Dragon Man's abilities clearly state that he regenerates hit damage received. When you dex you don't receive any hit damage so it's obviously a bug

With all due respect , there should be no “easter egg” abilities. Something is either an intended ability or it isn’t ; no ability should be hidden.

I’m not bothered by the fix to dragon man. Just trying to highlight poor communication from Kabam when stuff like this happens.

Which brings me back to Galans L2 incinerating thru block . Not listed in his abilities but it’s happening and no response from Kabam. As always , we just want to know what is or what is not intended.

You're assuming that they knew it was a bug. You're also assuming that they fixed it knowing it was a bug. We all know I'm here a lot and this thread is the very first time I've ever even heard of this even being a thing.

Just like interactions can break because another bug, interactions can be fixed as a result of something else being fixed. Until we can get an answer from Kabam, you can't say "bad Kabam for not communicating".

I sure can and will say it’s a problem when we can’t even get a “we’re brining it to the game team” or “we’re looking into it” from Kabam.

And when there’s silence for 2 years , like Mole man , yeah I’ll say that’s a communication problem.

You’re wrong and doubling down, Stop it.

Watch the first fight from this video published 12-11-2020 1 month before DD was actually changed and documented. Not years
