Thoughts on new AW tactic

Provicateur - while some of the defenders in this pool are definitely strong *cough* enchantress *cough* overall I don't have many issues with the defense tactic. The chance to miss seems kinda scummy but it's the only thing really stopping you from just nuking with a non tactic attacker.
Secutor- this is where my main issues lie within this seasons tactic. The effect of this tactic and the champs picked for it don't really seem to have synergy. Champs like AV, Mr F, Shocker, and iHulk either dint have the right debuffs (without synergies Shocker abd ihulk) or have dubffs that are indefinite/refresh which don't interact with the node. I think the champs that can't utilize the node naturally need to be replaced with another champ, and that we need more champs with immunities in the pool bc some nodes/matchups feel near impossible especially if your best secutor counter is banned. Finally I think the node needs to be tweaked so that the provocateur defender is heal blocked whenever a secutor champ would reduce their healing below their threshold, making champs like AV and Mr F more viable.

They probably should give a chance to apply debuff on contact for all champions in the pool, otherwise quite a few of them a totally useless.
On the other hand, enchantress simply shouldn't be in AW.
This change might mean Sauron, toad and sinister will need heal block (depending on if the implementation is regen rate modification) but I don’t think that’s a huge issue with heal block still being a viable solution.
But with this change they might have to tone down the other parts of the tactic, maybe the defense tactic power gain can only be halved or something.
On a side note has anyone else noticed the defensive tactic is bugged and special attacks can miss when they have the power gain, but the tactic description only says a chance for basic attacks to miss.
The team will comment officially themselves.
Personally I dont know the option, and I will just be 40%ing against enchantress on crappy nodes like this.
He also can do some very tricky fight by himself, if reapplying debuff can be counted by the tactic.
But cap might be banned too, the champion pool is horrible and not many good options at all.
Otherwise it's too difficult.
