blocking units misbehavior ?
Hi, there is something "wrong" with how blocking enemy units works in this game.
sometimes everything works normal, sometimes i can't find a reasonable explanation...or maybe I'm just missing some "basic" information.
-i block an enemy unit, the player use Whirling Death on my blocking unit, killing it and letting his unit hit face (even when i already "confirmed" the blocking)...same scenario using different removal like Get Exited!BADCARDNAME my unit still blocks the enemy unit.
-the player is attacking with Anivia "2 damage to all" + another unit, i block the other unit with a 2hp unit, the player use Might on that unit, Anivia kills my blocking unit and his Might boosted unit hit face...again same scenario with different enemy interaction and i manage to block the units even if they die to Anivia's AOE.
Is there something I'm missing ?

Overwhelm goes through phantom blockers, meaning that if a unit that blocked and Overwhelm unit dies the full damage from the Overwhelm unit goes through
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
except the unit i blocked with died to anivia's 2 damage atk skill and didn't leave the "blocking" image behind it on the unit i initially "confirmed" blocking...
I believe you're right - the placeholder icon for removed blockers doesn't always appear for some reason. I take this to be a purely visual bug, however. From all I can tell, the actual game mechanic is working as intended (i.e. as YourPrivateNightmare explained).
I believe the blocking image doesn't show up in front of a unit with overwhelm, because the overwhelm unit will deal full damage to the nexus anyway so it would serve no purpose to show a "blocking" image.
That makes a lot of sense. I'll try and watch out for more occurrences of this and see if you're right.
