Capacitor (item) doesn't cleanse every non-ultimate hero buff

[JugadorXEI]

There's a handful of hero buffs that Capacitor should probably be able to cleanse but doesn't. This is a non-exhaustive list of what I found.

As a point of reference, I used Abrams's Siphon Life and Paradox's Kinetic Carbine, both cleansable buffs, as a point of reference for buffs that should also be cleansable, as well as other abilities. My line of logic is, if these can be cleansable, so should other similar abilities.

I've found out that these buffs are not cleansable:

• Lady Geist's Life Drain
• Mo & Krill's Burrow
• Pocket's Barrage
• Kelvin's Ice Beam

(ignore me testing Yamato's Power Slash, abilities with a windup like this work consistently with Conductor)

• Sinclair's Spectral Assistant
• Vindicta's Flight (but WILL cleanse Grey Talon's Rain of Arrows)
• Warden's 5AP Binding Word buff (Warden deals +20% more Bullet Damage to trapped heroes for 6s, most AP abilities do seem to work like this though, so maybe intended?)
• Yamato's Flying Strike (but WILL cleanse Shiv's Slice and Dice)

Most likely, the system is coded not to delete abilities once they’re added.


A big example of this is Talon being unable to fly again after lifting off, and Vindicta flying and then constantly leaving herself stuck in a certain state (flying).

It can remove actions that happen instantly, but it doesn’t remove actions that are continuous or ongoing.
