The glancing signature ability of Ant-Man is immune to defensive ability accuracy reduction or ability accuracy reduction. I have tested with Falcon, Crossbones and Black Widow.

I don’t believe he should be “fixed” but an explanation on why this ability can’t be reduce would be nice. There is nothing I can see in his description that would make him immune to ability accuracy reduction. He is an old champs and most of us have just accepted the way he is. Still I’d like to know why
It litterally says 100% offensive ability accuracy reduction
Yeah, maybe that is why this bug is happening in the game. I hope they fix it soon, so we can counter his glancing ability with champions like Falcon, Crossbones and Black Widow.
There is no bug here. His glancing ability takes advantage (already explained and confirmed) over ability accuracy reducters like BW or Crossbones
Right? It's quite confusing, but I think we should be able to counter this glancing ability with defensive ability accuracy reduction or ability accuracy reduction. Especially because he is a science character and a lot of skill characters can use defensive ability accuracy reduction or ability accuracy reduction.
Since I think it means when he glances a hit 100% offensive ability reduction.
But I don't think it means he is 100% immune to AAR.
So example GP will never inflict a bleed or stun on a glanced hit. But can still bleed him on normal hits.
But whether the chance of a glance occurring can be altered. That part is unclear
Crits and non glanced attacks will still proc debuffs.
This is the answer here. If the glance procs then hit reduces offensive abilities by 100%. No bleed, etc.
If the glance fails, the SS above say 44.28% at SA 20 for a hit to glance, then he is subject at any offensive ability.
However:
Defensive Ability Accuracy is your chance to trigger abilities that activate when you get hit.
Glancing triggers when you get hit, so reducing Defensive Ability Accuracy should reduce the chance for glancing to trigger.
As quoted above, when Falcon hits, Ant-Man has a chance to glance. Ant-man don't glance if Falcon don't hit.
Since glancing is a defensive ability, Ant-Man has a chance to glance Falcon's attacks when he is not Locked On. When Falcon Locks On Ant-Man, he should have 0% chance to glance Falcon's attacks. That is what Defensive Ability Accuracy reduction is supposed to do.
Going by the logic of merely lock-on, this should not be the case then.
That's because Magneto & Magneto (Marvel Now) also reduces offensive ability accuracy of metal champions. Offensive abilities are the ones that triggers when you hit the opponent, like Falcon's bleed and incinerate.
