**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.

Wasp Evade [Merged Threads]

Wasp used to shrug off debuffs then evade as her ability stated:

https://playcontestofchampions.com/champion-spotlight-wasp/

Wasp has a 8% chance to shrug off all Damaging Debuffs other than Bleed, then shrink to Counter Attack, Evading the opponent’s attack and inflicting Shock, dealing 1384 Energy Damage over 8 seconds. This ability does not activate if Wasp is about to Parry an attack.

It seems though that with the new patch this has changed to only shrug off the debuffs when she successfully evades, which means she would not/should not be able to evade something like iceman.

Now people are saying she is still evading iceman like her previously worded ability would allow, so I am not sure which is the bug the wording or the effect, but since the wording had to be changed perilously I am going to assume she is not longer meant to evade iceman.

    Wasp no longer removes Cold Snap apparently? When was this change made?

    It should be any damage over time debuff ... Either they changed it and now is "nerfed", or they just forgot to add other debuffs in there

    Nope nevermind, just tested it and she still evades Iceman, despite the fact that it doesn't say she purifies Cold Snap... she does purify Cold Snap.

    Yeah looks like they just forgot to list Cold Snap, because it definitely still works on Cold Snap.

    I thought cold snap prevented all evades... if she has to successfully evade to remove the debuff, how can she remove coldsnap?

    She does not do it that way, she purifies the debuffs, then afterwards she evades.

    It looks like you have it backwards. Reading the text it says any time Wasp successfully evades an attack, she purifies. That would mean she has to evade in order to purify which she shouldn’t be able to do with Coldsnap

    She purifies the debuff first, then evades. Her interaction with coldsnap was confirmed as intended in her spotlight

    This wording has changed and appears to be in error or they are nerfing her. here is the wording until recently:

    Wasp has a 8% chance to shrug off all Damaging Debuffs other than Bleed, then shrink to Counter Attack, Evading the opponent’s attack and inflicting Shock, dealing 1384 Energy Damage over 8 seconds. This ability does not activate if Wasp is about to Parry an attack.

    her wording has changed, apparently that is no longer the intended way for it to work.
  • V1PER1987V1PER1987 Posts: 3,474 ★★★★★

    Well then they need to revert the wording back because that’s not how it reads.
  • Austin555555Austin555555 Posts: 3,043 ★★★★★
    Coldsnap always has stopped any evades.
  • LormifLormif Posts: 7,369 ★★★★★

    Coldsnap always has stopped any evades.

    it did not stop hers, because it was shrugged off before she evaded. People used to post bug reports because they did not understand the order. The wording has changed, and if that is the new intended effect it would be a nerf for her.

    I agree the wording change is wrong and misleading. It's nerfed compared with what it was before.
    Think they tried to list the damage over time debuffs instead of saying "all dot debuffs apart from bleed". But in the process, they forgot to include half of the DoT debuffs that there are in the game.
  • Kobster84Kobster84 Posts: 2,898 ★★★★★
    Ye also it’s no longer all damaging debuffs i never used wasp but before was she able to shrug debuffs like black iso debuff from kingpin

    They also changed it so it is only shrugged of on a successful evade which switches the order, which should mean Iceman would prevent it now.

    Based on the new wording that should be a bug. With the new wording there should be no way she has around that. I am cool if they wanted to give her a way to not be evaded by players, but stealth nerfs are not the way to go.

    the only part that is misleading is that it says anytime she evades she does that, which could include dexterity. How she now shrugs off debuffs is not misleading, it says she does it after a successful evade, meaning that if she cannot evade she cannot shrug them off. That being said I have a post in bugs and known issue to see if this was an intended nerf or a mistaken change in wording.
  • Hey y'all!

    Hi all,

    We are working on a fix for this issue so that Wasp will be able to purify the Coldsnap and then Evade. We'll also update the in-game description to be more clear about this. This fix will likely not be able to be applied until the next game update. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your patience.

    It shouldn't be like this though, if Coldsnap prevents evade, how can Wasp purify Coldsnap when she can't evade in the first place?

    Because she purifies debuffs before she attempts the evade.

    The way her abilty works is
    Step 1. Purify all damage over time abilties (this includes coldsnap)
    Step 2. Evade.

    You are basing your belief of the steps being in the reverse order. If she evaded first and then purified coldsnap would stop her.

    here is how the ability read before this patch, what they are reverting to:

    (Wasp has a 8% chance to shrug off all Damaging Debuffs other than Bleed Step 1),( then shrink to Counter Attack, Evading the opponent’s attack and inflicting Shock, dealing 1384 Energy Damage over 8 seconds.step2) This ability does not activate if Wasp is about to Parry an attack.

    How about all other DoT debuffs missing from her description? Like Punisher 2099 sp3 debuff, Loki curse, havoc feedback, etc.
    Changing the description like this made it more confusing and musleading due to the lack of info

    Oh okay, it says on the picture provided in the 1st comment that whenever she successfully evades, she removes.
