Counterattack no longer correct w Apr 25 update

HairyEyeballs

The counterattack is no longer working correctly in arena battles. If an opponent has a character with taunt, the counter attack is hitting the taunt character instead of the character who did the attack.

Read the patch notes, this is actually working as intended.

That change was posted in the patch notes.

Taunt will now intercept counterattacks for allies

My bad. Missed that. Doesn't seem logical when you think about definitions for "counterattack" and "taunt".

SlyGambit

Fives and Dooku were both overpowered between protection and the level upgrade (Fives level 76 Omega skill). It makes no sense logically but this is their attempt at balancing that.

It helps with Dooku however taunters are dead before people engage with Fives most of the time so it has had little to no impact on him.

I'm thinking with Teebo in the lead, Dooku and 5's would be a non-issue. Seems like whenever I have Teebo in the lead, like for the tank challenge, my team is stealthed most of the time.
