If #Robots can't get the benefit of willpower healing, then they shouldn't be affected by delirium/reverse controls.

    Why not?

    The champs that use reverse control affect the opponents mind. Robots don't have minds, so they shouldn't be affected. Any mind control abilities should have zero affect on them.

    Robots are literally made by humans to have minds that we can control. Every time you're suffering from a control reversal effect in game, you are holding a computer in your hands that has just had it's definition of forwards and backwards reversed. Sure they don't have brains, but they can still "think" and can still have their thought processes tampered with.

    Tampered with yes, but not psychically. Emma Frost's abilities wouldnt work on sentinels in the comics. Shouldn't work in game.

    If the champ had an ability to control technology, then yes, reverse controls could be a thing vs robots.

    While this makes sense, how is it in any way related to the willpower mastery which was part of your original claim?

    I mean, you can definitely make arguments about whether psychic attacks should work on the brains of robots since there's no actual way of defining psychic abilities as human only. If that's the case, why would aliens be affected? Animals too? Fourth wall breakers should surely be able to break out of it, right? There's just honestly too many implications that come up when trying to define psychic abilities for me to think too much about it, but I get the want for it.

    I guess it was, if there's a detriment to using robots, there should be a benefit somewhere else.

    There is. There are some nodes that exclude rohots

    I've always believed they should be immune to all reverse controls. And stun immune.

    After I saw this node in act 6 I started wondering why Emma Frost can reverse control robots. Doesn't make sense.

    That logic doesn't work here.
    Technically, robots aren't living creatures. Yet here, they have life and they can die.

    I don't understand the logic that robotsshould be stun immune? Their computation system can go offline if they lose power or a glitch in their system so it would be more realistic for them to be stunned.
