How is it that Archangels ability is to decrease ability accuracy by 25% with every bleed debuff but mephisto can still activate Aura of Incineration wen stacked with 7-8 Bleeds? Can anyone explain?

    You clearly havent read that right, he reduces tenacity/shrug off ability triggers by flat 25% with each stack of bleed.
    Neurotoxins are the only thing that can shut down all abilities and even stun an unstunnable opponent once they expire but since Mephisto is immune to poison, so you wont be getting any neuros on him

    I agree to a point but there are counters now.

    Iceman
    Blade and now after the update
    red hulk with several heat charges.
    Maybe more.

    See, the only problem here is your reading comprehension.

    Look at AA's sig. It clearly states that ability reduction only occurs during Neurotoxin. Something Meph is immune to because he can't be poisoned.

    Mephistos abilities can’t be reduced.. its in his sig or passives or something... not sure how blade trumps it.

    Cant be reduces with passive ones, like BW and CB, but opponenet who inflict concussion can by pass Mephistos aura and regen, like Quake, Gambit and Cable. And as for Blade his danger sence bypasses enemies immunities like immunity to ability accuracy reduction

    Also, AA reduces ability accuracy with neurotoxins. You can’t place those on mephisto because he’s poison immune

    You did a great job of making yourself look dumb with the post to begin with. No need to get upset with others pointing out your lack of attention to details.

    Void is also great on him since he’s incinerate immune, has class advantage, and can reverse healing

    1st of all, AA's bleeds only reduce Tenacity Abilities, not all abilities. But, you got Iceman & Mephisto himself who are Incinerate Immune... as well Blade who's Regeneration can easily overpower the damage taken, as well his insane damage output with Danger Sense. You also have Red Hulk who can be immune to Incinerate, depending on the amount of Heat Charges he has & his damage output destroys Mephisto. There is also Quake who can deal significant damage without contact at a safe distance. Last but not least, there's Magik, who can Limbo all damage taken back, if played correctly. There are lots of counters to Mephisto. Just need to keep you eyes open.

    You're absolutely right about neurotoxins. However, Tenacity is an ability unique to Agent Venom. Kingpin, Crossbones, King Groot... No-one else's ability description includes the word 'Tenacity', and AV is the only champion for whom the word 'Tenacity' appears when he shrugs something off.

    I don't think there's any evidence that AA reduces anyone else's ability to 'shrug off' debuffs. I asked Kabam_Miike that question on Kingpin's spotlight, and never got an answer. So to me, until one of you guys proves otherwise, the available evidence says: This passive ability of Archangel's is a specific counter to Agent Venom.
