Ability accuracy reduction ? How to do the math

I used a max sig black widow versus a science champ (Hulk Ragnarok )
Used 2 synergies from quake the one with black widow herself and the one with Hawkeye
Black widow versus science is 70+15% according to Kabam in the past
Both the synergies add another 15%
Being safe it’s
0,7 + 0,15 + 0,7 X 0,15 + 0,7x 0,15 = 106 %
Even more safe 0,7 + 3x 0,7x0,15 = 101,6 %
How is it possible that I still take thorn damage ??????? I just don’t understand it ?

So it’s only 70*1,15+15%= 95,5 % with some bad rng at my side ?
@Patchie93 could you eloborate on how you get to that result if I type it into a calculator it’s over 100%
- "Potency" means the overall strength of the status effect. A stun will last longer, and have higher chance to activate if not already at 100%. That means Quake's aftershock charges will deal more damage, have higher chance to stun the opponent and so on. Blackwidow's subtlety is also affected by this if you don't already have it at signature level 99.
Meanwhile, Hawkeye's synergy works for the entire team that you bring. That one just affects the accuracy of status effects. That means abilities like Hawkeye's Hemorrhage also status effects like Black Panther's CW Armor ups will trigger more often. Hope you guys have fun with this new synergy!
The Quake-Hawkeye synergy confused and still confuses a lot of people especially when discussed in the same breath as Black Widow's signature ability. The important thing to remember is that Black Widow's sig ability does NOT have a X% chance to occur. It *always* triggers. What it does when it triggers is lowers the target's defensive ability accuracy. Think of the opponent's defensive ability accuracy as just a number. Black Widow has a 100% chance to lower that number by some value on a hit. A synergy that improves BW's ability accuracy would have no effect on that ability, because that ability is already triggering 100% of the time.
The Quake-Black Widow synergy enhances ability accuracy, duration, and potency. Potency is the strength of the effect. Black Widow's signature ability triggers 100% of the time so ability accuracy improvement does nothing. It only affects the target explicitly when struck so duration improvement also does nothing. But BW's signature ability does have a strength: it reduces opponent defensive ability accuracy by a certain value. That value is the ability's potency. That *can* be increased by the Quake-Black Widow synergy.
In my initial question there was 3x a 15% (which were used in your first calculation) in your calculation now you only used 2
Now one has said one of the synergies does not work on her sig ability ... that would account for one less 15% but at that point that was not said
