Count nefaria in this bg meta

I've been seeing a lot of counts on bg defense in this season gc meta, and I never understood why until today.

Today I fought a r3 duped count with my silk, and after his second sp1 he immediately went to 3 bars of power, thrown a sp3, then again went to 3 bars of power. Why?

I read his abilities and it states something like he gains 60% of power denied to himself but he isn't denying any power from matador node right? And his sig says something about getting his charges when we get a large amount of power ina short period of time, but that doesn't explain why he gets 3 bars of power instantly.

So is this a bug or intended behavior? And how to counter nefaria this season?

    It’s because of some over complicated thing relating to his sig combined with the matador node. Cant be bothered to figure out why just had to adapt. Ways to counter him are to kill him before he can launch a sp3. However to do this you have to make sure you can partial dex his sp1 and sp2, because not partial dexing the last hit means you won’t be able to punish him in time. He can be nuked in one sp2 or 2 sp1s by silk. Just bait his first sp1, bait another sp1 partial dex the last hit and then do your normal relic heavy sp2 nuke. I’ve also nuked him with my r3 Shang. Champs like Deadpool and Kate can’t really nuke because of his immunities. Sinister can’t either which is why he is pretty ban worthy this meta as those are the best attackers

    @Cloudddey_bro

    Thanks. I actually thrown my sp2 with silk but it took only half his health. His charges give huge resistances I believe. I'll put him on perma ban list now.
