**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.

    Literally any champ can easily defeat him.

    Killmonger too.

    I have also taken him down as a main boss with blade pre bleed nerf. Didn’t get much bleed on him but a little luck always helps.

    Bait heavy and counter with your own, practice in a duel against wick2.0 and you'll get it

    Some good stuff above; just ignore the people saying 'anyone can do it': IMIW is an absolute pain to fight because that's exactly what he was designed to be (so, credit to the designers).

    It's not just the Autoblock. It's the Autoblock plus the bleed immunity, resistance to power drain, reduced Offensive power gain; unparryable, unevadeable plasma attacks, Unblockable SP1, passive power gain...

    He's a pain.

    He can't Autoblock heavy Attacks reliably, although he can in AW/AQ/Arena with the Stand Your Ground Mastery.

    Ability Accuracy Reduction is useful for you - Black Widow, Crossbones, Kingpin (who has a handy Unstoppable heavy attack). Taskmaster would be a high-skill option.
    Electra will not work for this!
    Sabretooth with synergy can also bypass Autoblock.

    True Strike can't be Autoblocked; so champion options include Corvus, Karnak, Heimdall, Killmonger, Cable, Champion and Venom (now a brilliant counter for that last 15% Sig ability).

    He needs armour to use his Autoblock - champions with good armour break are good options; like Medusa (but try to avoid shattering his armour, as then you can't break it any more!), Thor and Corvus. Or Awakened CAIW, with a cosmic friend (who can also bypass Autoblock with his SP1).

    Void does his thing without touching Iron Man, if you have him.

    Finally, no-one has mentioned Proxima; who can bypass Autoblock when completing missions; and also can actually parry the guy. She's a good (but not unerring) counter both to him and to Domino, who has the same unparryable mechanic.

    As regards tactics, I'd suggest a bit of research on YouTube and Reddit; but using a Heavy Intercept is a recognised strategy; don't bother with Parry, and practice interfering the guy's dash attack.

    Corvus
    Heimdall
    Medusa
    Venom
    Void
    Ghost

    Are all pretty good counters to him. If you have any of the above champions, I'd practice with them against an IMIW Duel... & your very likely to improve against him.

    Ghost wont works in duel he wuld stil auto blok he sp but if u ikow hav to overkom the danmge just dash back when he use hervy and. Then use sp2. U wuld win.

    Killmonger is a beast against him

    Venom is hands down the best counter, what do you need to get past IMIW easily, armor break, and true strike. Venom has a armor break on heavy hits and true strike down where it counts. He also is immune to power drain/burn effects of tech champs. He also has one of the best sp2s around can not go wrong with venom.
