Molten Destroyer Bug [not a bug]

[MasterStrategist]

theres a bug with logans ability + molten destroyer

when logan uses his ability and hits molten destroyer with his weapon, logan takes 1 damage for the initial hit and another 1 damage for MD's death

[Flycheung]

I think it works as intended. Logan had to damage that ally to get it kill with his ability.

[MasterStrategist]

you know if this wasnt on a program it would be confusing then.

Molten Destroyer description: Deals 1 dmg to any hero or ally that dmg's it.

id call that 1 dmg in a card game in a physical match, i dont think wording is clear if that is intended

[MasterStrategist]

ok ill explain this better

MD's description says any ally that deals damage

logan deals damage once

then the ally dies

logan doesnt deal dmg twice

[danae]

I think it's due to how the mechanic is on the immediate kill abilities like TW, Assasination, MC, etc. With these cards similar to Logan's ability, it reduces the ally's health to 0. So technically, Logan deals damage twice. Once for the damage from his weapon and another when his ability reduces MD to 0 health. So if MD was at full health, it's like he dealt two damage first and then he did another 3 damage to MD.

I'm wondering if Logan will still get two damage if he activates his ability but the 2 damage from his weapon (assuming JD is used) is enough to kill an MD at 2 health.

[MasterStrategist]

ok danae but do you think thats how it should be?

killing and dealing damage are two different things

i honestly dont think that molten destroyer should deal 1 damage to zaladar for mind controlling it either

he attacks it then it dies. thats just how im thinking of this.. sure you could say that killing = damage = to opponents health but that just doesnt seem right to me

[N3rd4Christ]

Seems normal... Logan deals damage taking damage himself. His ability then triggers killing it (killing = dealing enough damage to drop it to 0 hp) so he's dealing damage 2x

[Vincenzo749]

hmmnnn so logan so should be looking out for MD then?

[Unruler]

Misleading? Yes. Works as intended? Yes. It's already been discussed before with AnAdult's reply.

(killing = dealing enough damage to drop it to 0 hp)

If that is the case, does that mean that Legion United can stop Tidal Wave? Because, following your logic, Tidal Wave should deal damage equal to health of every ally to every ally. Than Tidal blocks 2 damage and all of allies of it's user are on 2 health.

I don't really know if it works that way, but I doubt it.

No Unruler... I think you bring up a good point, but if tidal wave kills all allies and killing = dealing enough damage to drop it to 0 hp, then tidal wave would just deal 2 more damage inherently.
