Old Ben Taunt through Fracture Intentional..?

Pretty sure intentional, it was shown in gif reveal.

he taunt after dispell and before fracture

Seems wierd....fracture prevents buffs but taunt happens.

Fulcrum supposed to cleanse any debuffs but fracture sticks.

It makes no sense to me!

Seems like it's WAI at this point

You messed up with the ATF part.. It is stated very clearly that fracture cannot be dispelled.

As for Old Ben it is kind of weird. Thrawn kicks him, removing his taunt, however Old Ben regains it, before he is fractured. So basically it is Thrawn uses Fracture -> Dispels buffs -> Old Ben re-taunts -> Fracture is applied.

If it is intentional, it needs to be changed, because it is not consistent with other cases. Other tanks such as Baze and GK who don't need to use abilities to gain taunt will not gain their taunts even if the conditions for them to get it are met.

If this truly is intentional, it's a terrible way of countering Thrawn. Breaking previously established rules just to knock Thrawn out of the meta is ridiculous.

Well, it's his zeta.

It's not breaking the rules. Ben's taunt comes back immediately after it expires. Then fracture is applied. Other tanks are stuck with fracture and then their taunt conditions are met and the buff is blocked by fracture. I don't see any issue with the order of operations here.

Fracture is NOT a debuff. Just like Bounty Hunter's Resolve or Backup Plan aren't buffs or Armor Shred isn't a debuff either. Learn to read

From how his ability reads, it doesn't go through fracture, it is dispelled when the attack hits, which prompts it to reapply. Then fracture is applied.

This is an oddity of the order of operations, but does seem to be wai, as this was in the first gif of his ability that they showed us.

Moved to correct sub forum.

Hi guys, there is actually a bug here, and has been logged. Deathtrooper grenade is increasing cooldown on units with unique buffs, and should not. Most likely the attack was evaded in the OPs scenario.

This clearly states that unique buffs and debuffs are buffs and debuffs.
