Bug with shaman token | Forums

[wazgoood89]

The bug is when kenny uses his mind control on another unit and you use shaman tokens charge ability it doesnt negate mind control.


Also when Shaman token gets mind controlled by kenny and the opponents uses tolkens charge ability the mind control off token is negated.



I dont know if mind control is considered a negative effect.

Shaman Token's cleanse doesn't work on a mind controlled ally because he's "no longer a unit of your own", the moment he's mind controlled he's considered as a enemy unit. Purify cleans ALL effects either good or bad for all units. If Shaman Token gets mind controlled and the enemy uses his ability, you gain control of him back because he's cleansing a negative effect he has ON HIMSELF.

You just explained why it happens, not justifying why it SHOULD happen - I would put this down to bad coding, not intentional effects - they simply could not be bothered to program this better.

Shaman token SHOULD remove mind control on your units because whether they temporarily belong to the enemy or not, they are still essentially your units.

Shaman token SHOULD also not remove mind control from himself if used by the enemy, because mind controlling a unit onto your team is a POSITIVE EFFECT. It is only negative for the person whom it originally belongs.

I agree. Token should not dispel mind control when you have him controlled. While he is controlled he is considered an ally. And mind control is only a negative effect for the enemy, which once Token is controlled, he is no longer an enemy and now an ally.

Yep, agreed this definitely seems like an oversight when they coded the effect. I think steve was even surprised by it once on the dev stream when it came up in game, so doubtful it is working as intended. Definitely pisses me off too since it weakens his purify effect significantly from what you would expect.
