Kabam I am greatly disappointed in your tactics of changing the game without even mentioning the change to the player base. Now the nerf pointer has been rolled to magik!!
As we all know that you've mentioned the change to magik that she will not gain any power from her sp2's power steal when the opponent is at zero power and still that ruins the utility of the champion but it's just ok.
But not only that you've gone too far to reduce her power lock chance of sp2 from 100% to a mere 85% which just totally makes the champ from a god tier to just a playable character with not enough use in the game this is the biggest change that has made the champ totally useless now, & for the players who have her at high ranks now don't have an option to get back their upgrading resources (t2 alpha) back. I am greatly disappointed & want back my t2 alpha or restore whatever change you've done to the champ . This is not the first time you've ruined a champ,she was not even overpowered like medusa or blade still you guys have given no thought in making those crappy changes. **Hugely disappointed**. Show some concern & make appropriate changes which benefits the players.

    Its always been 85% chance tho

    I can't recall whether the description was 85% or 100% but I DO know that her sp1 and sp2 have ALWAYS without fail for me (at least up this point) always produced their prescribed effects. Can't say I've ever had an sp2 not power drain and power lock.

    If that isn't the case anymore then I would say something changed.

    It's always been 85% but it's two hits on the sp2 so two 85% chances

    I never did bring her four-star up to rank five and I don’t have her in five Star so she has never been a go to for me, but I always use her three and four star in my arena grind. I have NEVER had her power lock fail...? I imagine this is because her specialty 2 is two hits with EACH having an 85% chance but, again, never had it fail to power lock. Didn’t even realize until reading this that it was only 85%

    It's always been 85% and then another 85% chance to power lock (2 hits) and then 100% to power steal. I've had the power steal fail once in AW on an all out nothing node against Blade.

    I'm positive since I took magik to r4 before the update and it was 85%
    And from sheer memory it's always been 85%
    She has a 100% chance power steal and an 85% chance to power lock

    Sorry dude, I was talking to OP. We posted at the same time and mine came right after yours.

    Damn, what a relief I hadn't noticed it's always been 85%, my alliance mates were bragging that magik is now trash

    It’s always been 85% per slash. I’ve had it fail on me before. That’s why it’s not 100%. Small chance but a possibility for it to fail on one or even both slashes. Small chance but possible.

    As noted by other posters as well, the percentage was not 100% and was not changed. Closing this now as it seems this was just a bit of confusion.
