Incinerate damage and Mephisto

I was under the impression that Mephisto was essentially immune to incinerate. As is stated on his abilities.
"Generates 12% of a bar of power instead of taking incinerate energy damage and is immune to frostbite and coldsnap."
So why is it that when hit by Hyperion's first special or effected by the Human Torch's passive he is taking damage.

If a champ is incinerate immune, they should be immune to all forms of fire. This tactic of making them a special non-incinerate fire is just cheap.
Unavoidable damage always sucks no matter where it is. I still don't like taking on Havok because I don't have the right Armor buff champs for him.
Next up is super cold to eliminate Sabretooth's immunity? What about a super-unstoppable that renders CAIW's ability useless? A nano-bleed/poison that bypasses robot immunities?
If a champ is immune to something, IMO they should be immune to all versions of it.
"They are made of fire, but it's a *different* type of fire."
We're going to need to start having Fire Extinguisher type designations for incinerate.
Vulture is "Type A" incinerate immune and inflicts Type A
Mephisto and Iceman are "Type A and B" immune
Mephisto inflicts Type B incinerate with his Aura and Type A with his Sp1
Red Hulk builds Type C charges with his SP1. He is only immune to Type B
Human Torch inflicts Type D incinerate. No one is immune to this including himself.
Ghost Rider and Dormammu are made from Type E fire that is not helpful in any other way.
Death spores do not have to say poison to be a poison. If you look at pretty much any death spre, game wise or real life it is a poisonous thing.
The fact that they need to write "instead of incinerate" hints to the fact that they KNEW people would be confused otherwise and thus only enforces what we are all saying. Its odd logic and by them adding in that tiny clause allows them to claim what you are saying. I do believe what you are saying is true as to why he gets damaged, I am claiming that it is utterly absurd to do this and opens dangerous doors for the game (dangerous as in they will have total freedom to do what they want regardless of the rules set by them in the beginning)... Rules refers to the in game abilities that the character abide by. @Lormif
The sheer fact that they needed to specify "instead of incinerate" hints that they knew it would be confusing otherwise and in fact gives more validity to our claim of them using other means to bypass certain abilities. This is not the same as death spores, otherwise they would specify "instead of poison", hence, they= developers are well aware that most ppl would not believe death spores in the same category as poison. Death spores function similarly to poison, in some ways, but are very very different, noted by the fact that they CAN affect mechanical champions.
All I am saying is that I am in agreement with you as to why Mephisto is being affected. We differ where I believe Kabam has used legal logic to bypass a certain champions abilities by simpliy changing a few words around. Logically, it makes no sense to me, and many others are with me on that. This opens new doors for the company and allows them to do as they please, when they please, regardless of the rules in the game, which have already been established (rules as in, the interactions among champions based on their ability descriptions) @Lormif
@Kabam Miike could you please help us in this matter?
Thank you
