HUGE Spider-Gwen issue

So, I was just watching Seatin's beta breakdown of Spider-Gwen when I noticed a possible HUGE issue.
So, according to the beta, this is the description of Spider-Gwen's Spider-Sense ability:
The last bit is annoying, as it means that as an evade champion she can counter the counter-evade champions. That maybe makes her a bit OP as that means she basically has an unavoidable evade. The only two champions that can counter that, on top of my head, are Venom (because his ability relies on his Genetic Mutation buff, not his True Strike when below 18% health) and Proxima Midnight (as she has a True Accuracy, not a True Strike buff like her lover Corvus).
But that's not the biggest issue. The biggest issue is that it is regardless of the opponent's class. Corvus can't cheat her evade? Fine, but Skill champions like Killmonger should. That's the freakin' point of Skill champions having those True Strike buffs: to counter the evade-heavy Science class. But here we have a science champion who can 'cheat' the class system. It is gamebreaking.
But wait, this isn't the first science champion who does that. Isn't Luke Cage bleed immune? Doesn't Abomination poison when bled? What's the difference with Spider-Gwen? Well: the former two 'cheat' the class system because that makes sense comics-wise. Spider-Gwen's 'cheat' is purely mechanical and if there is a mechanical issue with it, it should be fixed.
I hope Kabam can change this before the reworks go live in March.

"True strike buff"
Meaning, killmonger will still work on her. As well as other champions with a true strike ability that is not a buff, and champion's that avoid the opponent from evading in the first place (ability accuracy reduction, IW IM repulsor attacks, etc)
Read the spider send I’m also getting is as she struke them not if ther struke her.
I just checked. You're right for Killmonger, that True Strike is a passive (although it doesn't say in the description). But Karnak's SP1 True Strike, that's a buff. Yeah, Kabam just killed the one thing Karnak was good at.
So are we not considering Corvus to be good tier now?
Kabam worded that strangely. It should have said she gets a 27% chance to evade per charge.
55 * .5 = 27.5%
So, it is fine...well, except for the wording, Kabam does need to fix that.
