**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.

Why is Ebony Maw a Mystic champ?

So, I'll admit I didn't really read Infinity and am only aware of it from the periphery; I'm not a fan of when comic companies feel like dragging a long buried event back to life just to capitalize on the popularity of a movie (seriously, just let the Infinity Gauntlet rest guys). As such, never really blinked twice when EM was first announced, but after watching Endgame, the question came back to mind.
Did some digging about Comic Maw (who may or may not be a telepath or have some persuasion ability like Purple Man/Starfox/Daken) and took another look at movie Maw...neither version is ever mentioned as using magic, as far as I can find.

Dormammu is a literal living furnace of magical energy. That's his race's whole hat.
Mephisto is a Hell Lord. I mean, yeah, when you get high enough up the food chain with Marvel, the distinction between Magic, Energy Manipulation, Technology, Psionics, etc. becomes more one of semantics, but Mephisto has never not been portrayed as a supernatural, magical entity.
Also russos confirmed he's a wizard.
And like the previous poster said, not every mystic champion is associated with magic

No ... he was right.
Some champions use magic and are not in the Mystic Class. Some champions don't use magic and are in the Mystic Class.
Just based on the movies, Maw for sure fits the mystic class. By reading his potencial powers and abilities in the comics, same thing. By reading his ingame abilities, for sure he is a Mystic Champion

No, he was wrong.
Literally every Mystic Champ either directly uses magic, indirectly uses magic or is heavily empowered by magic.
Don't need to run this off topic by having to explain comic book lore to people who've only seen the movies or only played this game.

No, that is wrong.
Like someone else mentioned, some examples are Juggernaut and Unstoppable Colossus. What do they have, impact nullification? That's not magic at all. Is a power, or an ability.
All For One, from the Boku no Hero Academia manga/anime, has the same ability. And he is no magician or has/uses magic

Go actually google the characters before you spout incorrect information, please. Both are empowered by Cyttorak, just as Jane Foster is empowered by the enchantment by Mjolnir.
Willow, try googling the characters before spouting misinformation. Both Juggs and UC are empowered by Cyttorak, just like Jane Foster is empowered by Odin's enchantment on Mjolnir.
This is just one example I found
But Thor is definitely magic and has used magic.
As for a citation that the Russo;s called Maw a mage, the exact phrase is a "techno-mage" and it is in the infinity war commentary.

Jane Foster seems like the only non-magical mystic.
All the others directly cast magic or were given their powers by magical means (including Juggernaut's magical helmet from Cyttorak)
Most Psionics are mutant. Jean Grey is actually Phoenix, thus Cosmic (Jean Grey/Marvel Girl would be mutant and psionic)
They don't have a Psionic-only class, so they dumped him in Mystic.
