Maestro’s energy penetration passive has been nonfunctional for at least 2 months

Made a post about this 2 months ago in the bugs section to be met with basically no acknowledgement and the issue has not been resolved, so I guess I gotta post this in general and hope it gets more traction here.

Maestro’s energy penetration passive literally does nothing currently. It has no effect. The effect’s description states that it causes his attacks to ignore 50% of the opponent’s energy resistance, but his damage is identical whether he has it active or not.

Two screenshots I took in practice mode today against magma form Abs man, who has a ton of energy resistance. One with the energy penetration passive, one without. This should be a great use case for the passive to bypass some of Abs man’s monstrous energy resistance and deal better damage, and yet both the hit damage of the beam and the energy burst damage are identical. No change. I’m not sure exactly how the mechanic works based on the description and what the difference should be in actuality, but I’m certain the difference shouldn’t be zero.

Have u tried vs other energy resist champs since this could be a disadvantage thing if shows same then somethings up

Just tested myself vs nefaria and abs and the ignore energy resist by 50% but he does 3500 on nefaria meaning for abs it was 1200

Nothing in his kit states that it should be affected by class (dis)advantage, but I respect the drive to test. I managed to get screenshots with Red Skull instead, who gains energy resistance per armor up buff.

Once again, the damage is identical. Red Skull also has the same amount of armor up buffs in each fight, so the energy resist is the same between them. Still seems bugged to me.

Yeah i think the ability isnt working correctly as it says ignores energy resist which it isnt doing

Oh no, that's not good at all!

Thanks for the report on this, we're looking into it now.

@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex For God's sake if you fix this bug or any bug in future, please give us a small update in forums or discord letting us no the bug is fixed. You guys are doing a wonderful job in fixing bugs but communication is a bit weak we can't know for sure if the bug was fixed or not unless you guys announce it, lol.

Also you should change your name mike it's too tough to tag you 🤣🤣

What are the odds on Maestro or Juggy getting fixed first? Or same time?

Juggs was already fixed

This and we didn't get a announcement. Imagine how many people keep not using juggs because they still think he's buffed.

I thought the trello board was made for this kind of stuff. They even have a champion bug section.

Some fixes are easy and some are not. Regardless, they are put in the patch notes saying that a fix happened. While not ideal, that is the way they typically announce that bugs were fixed.

I believe there are two types of bug fixes. The ones they roll out with monthly update, and the other ones like juggs fix or secutor fix which they fix immediately.

It's ok to put monthly bug fixes in patch notes, like black widow relic fix or galan incenerate bug fix. It's okay.

I'm specifically talking about immediate bug fix. There is no point in putting the secutor tag bug fix which affected bgs, in December patch notes, since the season would've ended by then. A simple forum announcement helps in such immediate bug fixes. And that's how they typically handled these kind of bugs (Remember the raids fix where they gave an announcement immediately after the fix).

I immediately thought of the Juggs bug when I saw a mod response in this thread. This is the way to do it. Quick acknowledgment there’s a problem and a quick follow up when the fix is pushed would be a great standard.

There were many threads on the Juggs bug with no acknowledgement that I saw and no announcement of a fix. That was disappointing because comms have been better lately.

Also, OP - awesome job noticing, testing, and documenting this one.

This reminds me of the Galan incinerate bug

Technically wasn't because it's already been 2 months according to OP

Back in bg season so I hope no one realises juggernaut is fixed!

The real question is how do you find so many bugs ?

Your gameplay experience must be hurtful

It is! The (new) board is still a process that we're building out the format of.
We have so many ideas for it, but many meetings go into making those ideas a reality and involve a bunch of different people.

The goal with the (new) Trello board is to be a one-stop shop for all info regarding bugs/issues and whether or not they're fixed. Naturally, a proper system will take some time to iron out the kinks... and we want that system to be GOOD.

The Juggernaut issue, for example, got fixed live, and that one flew past me and didn't make it on the board.

(slowly drags Juggernaut back into my deck)
(...slowly removes him after reading the Gladiator Circuit nodes...)

I've already jotted down in my notes that we need a "fixed live" section, for exactly those issues.

Once the dust is brushed off the board, we're looking to keep it updated weekly, and for all the information regarding Champion issues to remain up to date and accurate. That being said, we are human, and mistakes will be made... but trust me, we want you all to be as informed as possible at all times.
