Iron Man (Infinity War) Places plasma on Iceman

Iron Man (Infinity War) special 3 places plasma passive on iceman. This isn’t correct behavior since Iceman is incinerate immune.

Description reads “100% chance to instantly ignite and electrify target, inflicting Plasma Passive....”. Iceman cannot be ignited.

Please address this. Thanks

    It's passive, and it's not actually an incinerate debuff. So it might not make sense, but it is how it is

    Plasma is a different debuff than incenerate

    @Bendy @taojay1

    Read description. Plasma is a combination of his incinerate and shock. It is identical to Arch Angel neurotoxin that combines bleed and poison. Champion who is immune to either bleed and / or poison cannot be neurotoxined.

    Well the difference is archangel cannot instantly place neurotoxin, he has to bleed a poisoned opponent. As a result, if the opponent is immune to either, there is no way they can combine to form neurotoxin. With iwim, he can place by combining shock and incinerate OR by using sp3 to instantly place plasma. Plasma may have the properties of both debuffs, but by itself it is not really a debuff, kinda like dorms degen.

    @taojay1 -- see AA special 3 description.. its identical.

    @Kabam Miike please pass this to the game team. Incinerate immune iceman should not receive a plasma. He should only be shocked after IM special 3

    Any updates here?

    quoting developers' note:
    Since Plasma is a Passive and Special 3 inflicts Plasma without require Incinerate or Shock Debuffs, it’s possible to start “juggling” Plasma on a Debuff-immune target by opening with a Special 3. The easier access to Plasma is offset by the much higher damage output of the Shock and Incinerate method. Consider Special 3 a backup strategy if you find it difficult to get Shock or Incinerate to stick.

    Not quite...archangel does not directly place neurotoxin, he places bleed and poison (which should subsequently combine). Because of this, if the opponent has an immunity it will not work

    Iron Man (Infinity War) is intended to be able to use his Special 3 to place a Plasma passive on Iceman. Iceman's Organic Ice ability does give him immunity to Incinerate effects, and while Iron Man's Plasma may share the properties of Shock and Incinerate, it is not an actual Incinerate effect, so Iceman is not immune to it. This is part of the reason the we listed Iceman as one of the better match-ups for Iron Man in his champion spotlight.

    Iceman's immunity to Incinerate does limit Iron Man's options for stacking Plasma on him, however. Since Iron Man can't place an Incinerate on Iceman, he won't have anything to fuse with any of his Shocks to form a Plasma passive. That means that the only way he can put Plasma on Iceman would be to use his special 3.
