I wonder if the AA big is a result of his ability to proc poison if the opponent is bleeding @Kabam Zibiit
His ability to apply a Poison on block would seem to be the cause to me as well. I'll ask the team and get back to you once I have more information.
They need to be bleeding to apply poison on block 25% chance per stack of bleed 🙄. This actually really worries me that even the mods don’t know the basics of a widely used champion. Nothing personal.
I get your point but I bet he's right. AA has an ability to do something with his block and it's failing..so you take damage. This is horrible.
AA is not even trying to stack poison, he can't because the chance is 0% , if that's how it's gonna be then evade champs should trigger that damage on every move because theoretically they can evade every attack (even if they don't try to)
You are exactly right and she does. Absolutely horrible design. I hate half of her abilities and love the other half. She's incredibly cheap defensively. This is what cheating looks like.
This is incorrect. Domino would need to have a bleed on her for AA to attempt to place a poison on block. You’d think after the eruption of the community based on the last time a MOD spoke to AA’s abilities you’d all take a minute to read up on them.
Domino SHOULD need to be bleeding, but it seems pretty obvious that no one thought this through (much less tested her ability in various modes and matchups). The whales have spent a fortune to get her from fgmc and people are putting up 50+M in feature 5* arena, but they have no clue what they're actually getting because she's clearly broken.
Here’s a gif of AA dying within seconds due to Domino.
I was able to get confirmation that Domino's signature ability is activating due to Archangels ability to apply Poison on block. This ability will attempt to activate on every block, but starts at a 0% chance to activate; this chance will increase for every Bleed currently on Archangel's opponent. We will pass along everyone's feedback on the matter to the rest of the team, though.

That makes exactly zero sense. How can it be a critical failure if there’s no chance for something to happen?

Shouldn't critical failure only occur when the ability would normally occur but her ability reduction prevents it from happening? As she stands right now it's not her "luck" stopping abilities it's the normal game play.

The scarier thought is the mod could be right and since aa has the ability to poison but is currently at 0% chance because of no bleed that all blocked hits register as failed. You really can’t make this **** up but it’s possible
@Mcord117 is right. Domino doesn't need to be bleeding. It says in his description that AA has a 0% chance to inflict poison if struck whilst blocking*.
*This increases by 25% per attack of bleed. So if you aren't bleeding, it remains at zero.
So he always fails, and burns up on the energy damage.
There are other champs with abilities almost as low, like Black Widow's 3% evasion and Moon Knights 5% at New Moon. The 4% perfect block you get from Masteries...
The devs clearly know that. The only possible explanation is that this is working as intended...

You do realize that you just said that she should activate when AA has 0% chance to proc poison, right?
My understanding is if a champ has a chance to proc an ability then there's a chance for Domino to proc critical failure. Her chance to proc is increased the lower your champs percent chance is to proc. Someone like Starlord is going to constantly get critical failure because his chance for fury is low and then Domino decreases it further. Hulk will have similar problems because he's trying to gain fury too. So champs like Void and RR that proc no abilities will be better but still eat Dex and Parry critical failures. Honestly I think she wouldn't be bad if she didn't mess with basic mechanics and masteries, that's what I have issue with. Then there would be more counters. I know I haven't given much thought to how many champs have abilities that proc, even less thought to champs that have abilities that proc with a low percentage. Honestly I'm not to worried about facing her in war because Void is my flagship attacker and I can bring Gulk needed but still think she's broken as can be. She is going to be incredibly powerful as an attacker and if she's constantly stopping abilities people will steamroll content. After everyone has ranked her up and Kabam has made money they will Nerf her. Funny thing is Kabams past behavior has deterred me from buying her crystals because I don't want to ride that rollercoaster. If I get her great but not using units.

just wow!!!!! 0% chance and he fails.... wow... how can he fail when he already has no chance!!!! wow...... domino is so broken......

Well let's try to see this from their side. AA has a 25% chance when the opponent has a bleed. With no bleed he has 0% chance then Domino probably reduces that farther increasing the odds of critical failure. I'm pretty disappointed with this one honestly. If it's not possible for you to do something you shouldn't trigger this. I absolutely hate she interacts with Dex and such but I think we've just seen the tip of the iceberg. She's so new that nobody has a clue what she's supposed to do.

I’m curious whether the game team member you spoke with understands how AA works. This inspires zero confidence that the guys and gals who code the game have any concept of the way it is played on real phones by real people.
If something has a 0% chance of processing, by definition it has a 100% chance of not processing. In terms of game mechanics, that’s a guarantee that any block by AA—even a parry, which presumably has its own chance of processing/not processing—will produce energy damage from Domino if no bleed is present or on a bleed immune node. I understand that for coding purposes you may have to include a calculation every time AA has his block hit, but to have that produce an event for Domino to deal damage is absurd.
Stepping back from the specifics for a moment: is this truly the direction the game team wants the game to go?

This is crazy. Domino is broken. I don’t say that lightly. I’m not a complainer when it comes to champ releases. However, I can’t think of a champ release that is a messed up as this one. She’s interacting with parts of the game that make her ridiculous.

Umm that doesn’t make much sense since she has to bleed prior to getting a psn debuff and I’m not seeing any bleed on her 😂😂 she’s broken. Why can’t kabam just straight up admit she’s a mishap? Testing prior to releasing should be a priority

I actually believed the user might be using the perfect block mastery and that is what is triggering the critical failure, but as you can see the first medium blocked hit in the video hits a double 0, therefore infact this is triggering off the 0% poison chance or something else, which makes no sense. This is really broken.

But why are we having to argue with forum mods about this? Her ability is nonsensical and she never should have been released. Are they just stalling while they try to find a fix that lets them save face or is the "game team" this lost? If they'd just dropped the energy damage (which makes no sense for her character anyway - I read a few x-force comics and don't remember Domino causing people to spontaneously drop dead) it would be fine... like a pre-12.0 Black Widow. Instead, this and no easy way to walk it back.
let's stop discussing Domino interaction with Archangel block
As absurd as it sounds, failing on 0% chance, that's how they program him and her
But if we blow it up, they will change Archangel mechanic or even remove his blocking chance to trigger poison on bleeding opponent, no body wants this after recent nerf

I know you're getting tagged left and right in here and so it's tough to respond to everyone, but I would really like to know, as I'm sure the rest of the posters here would agree, is this how we should expect her to stay going forward or should we expect a change (really a fix) in the near future. I get that you're basically acting as a link between us and the game team here, but you have to see how absurd this character is as currently constructed. If this is the type of character design we can expect, taking constant damage no matter what you do, you're most definitely going to see a sharp decline in the size of your player base.
another option to "fix" her.... maybe leave her able to make everything fail.... but remove the DOT the failure on parry and dex and stuff is surely enough by itself....
