**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Useless Karnak

Hello everyone, sorry for my English :smile:

I like Karnak, I've been playing for him for a long time, after so many updates, he was forgotten and did not make any changes.

Karnak is a very strong character, when he focuses his increases chance of critical strike and he does great damage.

1 special attack: Very small damage, with such damage it is impossible even to finish off enemy with little health (exemple 500-600hp).

The only plus of this special attack is true strike against a spider-man, etc..

2 special attack: Very small damage ... my Karnak (4/40) does with 2 special attack (2 hits (critical) does 1469 + 3431 = 4900.. in the description it says " Attack Rating increases by up to 441 base on how low the opponent's health is at the time of impact ". Where is this bonus +441 ? With Greater Strength 8/8, Courage 3/3, Pierce 3/3, Lesser Cruelty 5/5 + Cruelty 5/50 and Glass Cannon 3/3. Karnak does only 4-5k damage without synergy.. from SP 2 o_O.

And he has very low atributes:
Light = 590, Medium = 920 Heavy = 590 + 1376 = 1966.

I have a spider-symbiote 4/40 he does 7-9k from special 2 (crit) no synergies and the Karnak's " Bonus +441 "...

Idea:

Signature Ability Hyper Focus:

hyperfocus ability (similar to Focus but for crit damage): "Given time to study his opponent, Karnak becomes Hyperfocused, gaining % (only) Critical Damage. Whenever he is struck, Karnak loses Focus for 9 seconds.

Or Karnak becomes Hyperfocused, gaining up the special attack 2 bonus.

    His special 2 is also bugged so you can only hit off stuns or intercepts. They will block if you chain with combo. The focus you gain from s1 should last as long as true strike as well instead of falling off if you get hit since that stupid pose leaves you wide open.

    Karnak is fine as he is imo. He's designed to reward skilful players with his focus ability giving him a very high crit rate and has plenty of utility to deal with a variety of opponents. He can take down armoured opponents easily, evading champions aren't an issue with true strike and daze reduces ability accuracy by 80% for 40 seconds. That's incredibly useful for so many reasons. Sure, you have to get a sp3 to use it but the duration makes up for it and sp1 is far from useless.

    Also his sp3 negates Limbo and stuff during 40 seconds. That is handy in AW
