Maybe this is part of the defense mechanism? In addition to SoTD bubble making capts quite hard to zerg to death, lag spike acts as "CC" for nearby creeps

Come on, there are only 7 or so guys on him. This shouldn't kick in until you're taking a full raid.

That's not something I've personally see occur. If you haven't /bugged it yet, please do so.

All right, thank you.

But it's a feature, and not a bug!

Why do Captains even light up when hit?
What does the light even signify?

Captains are clearly made of sunshine and rainbows. I thought that much was obvious.

So, auto-defeat of all captains on sundown is a confirmed fix for U13?

I see your reverse vampirism and raise you the Light of Elendil. I heard it's someone's most beloved light source or some-such.

My question is answered. Thank you, and please forgive me for being naive.

Is this actually a function of your Brightness/Contrast/Gamma (Graphics) settings for your monitor?

I've noticed that when a Banner is planted, it generates the same effect, but it's prominence and therefore annoyance varies depending upon my graphics settings.

the effect is the same as several banners were planted in the same spot, actually

Everytime the captain gets hit, one of those effect triggers, generating what you see in the picture: hits from different sources all triggering the same effect at the same time.
