Why is Nest not dispelling taunt?

MagicMatthews99

My Nest, against Bossk (zeta only on leadership), Boba, Dengar, Cad, and 88. Bossk taunts, people attack Nest, she counters, doesn't dispel taunt. Why?

Dar_Penthar

Look at Bossk second Zeta for the answer... specifically Trandoshan rage

Edit: Seems I missed the OP saying Zeta only on lead but if you put it in Parenthesis then that makes it invisible right? Sorry my mistake

Zeta only on his leadership, not unique.

OP stated that the target Bossk only had his lead zeta.

1 - @Dar_Penthar did you read OP? Specifically where it said Zeta only on leadership?

2 - (Devils Advocate part, here) @MagicMatthews99 did you double check that indeed the Zeta was on the leadership and not the unique? Just because it's a one-Zeta Bossk doesn't mean they did the leadership first.

3 - She have her Zeta? Did she specifically counter Bossk?

It seems like #2 is the most likely culprit here.

She only ignores taunt during her turn, so when she counters, she would have to target Bossk.

Well if that's the case, and that's the Bossk, then I'm lost why it didn't dispel. Unless you record the fight in question.

Was the attack evaded?

Ahh, the old "2% dodge" rears it's ugly head.

Vendi1983

Her basic can't be evaded.

bossk has +50% tenacity, and has 2 tenacitcy sets. nest's says can't be evaded but that should mean it can still fail, right?

Vendi1983

Dispel can't fail as long as it connects. It's not inflicting, so P/T doesn't apply.

I think there's an issue with it. My Nest wasn't dispelling taunt all the time in the last mod event.

Same thing was happening to me. She was dispelling other defensive buffs, but not taunts. Also an opposing Nest in GAC didn't dispel my taunt off of Shoretrooper, but did dispel his crit immunity and defense up. I think it's bugged.

Same for me.

I've encountered a weird bug in GA. Only once but reaaly weird : every member OR team countered every attack (Zaalbar hadn't even the buff active).

So yeah maybe some data mixup during the locking of chars ?

New GA match (had already won by this point, opponent gave me auto-defences), managed to record this happening. Can't upload the video, so here it is in GIF format.

@MagicMatthews99 - isn't the failure to dispel vs GK because of the foresight? In other words, the attack was evaded by the foresight, so it never landed?

DakkJaniels

No because Nest basic cannot be evaded.

Jack1210

Ya it is dealing damage to GK. Could be a bug with the foresight where the attack lands but somehow the game thinks it was evaded in terms of status effects.

MagicMatthews99

Either way, something is wrong, and here's the proof.

Her protection stacking probably interacts odd with bossk.

I fail to see how.

keknoby

it is not only happening with bossk, it's happening to me in the smuggler event, the shoretrooper taunt and the stormtrooper taunt aren't dispelled on counter attack from enfis, and when i try to attack the taunting trooper with her basic it's the same, sometimes the taunt isn't dispelled but critical avoidance or other amelioration is always dispelled
