Major issues with recovery timings, dexterity, and all combat mechanics [Under Investigation]

Mmx1991

Parry is broken.

Dexterity/evade is also broken.

Recovery time has been increased in all areas of combat so badly that the AI gets guaranteed hits on specials and heavies now.

And the AI has faster recovery time too.

Look how slow my Hypo is and I immediately evaded once he started his heavy.

^Increased timings is the norm now and started immediately after maintenance ~2 months ago. Immediately! It was so noticeable. Pre maintenance 2 months ago I could keep a combo going in LOL, after maintenance it's much harder. You can't play the same anymore. Everything hits now.

Our time needed to recover between:

evading then evading
blocking then evading
punching then evading
evading then countering

...is so huge that the AI gets free reign to do whatever it wants (specials, heavies, parries, follow up attacks). It's ridiculous.

More ridiculous recovery time. Since when does the AI ever recover when we block their medium attack and immediately counter? Never! They can't. It's not possible. Pre 12.0 or even several months ago this was a guaranteed hit.

I evaded his heavy with enough time to spare but our champs are so slow and the AI recovers faster. Ridiculous.

More nonsense. Recovery is so slow that the AI gets free attacks in and I can't do anything about it. We used to have a bigger window to do things now it's almost nothing and the AI is gluing heavy and special attacks to us.

Not to mention lag that never existed pre 12.0:

And when your controls don't even work:

Forget the lag for a minute although I think every player should receive a permanent weekly compensation package filled with tons of potions and revives until these issues get fixed, but that's another issue.

It's clear that dexterity length and all the timings associated with combat are being changed and distorted. It's so obvious at this point, and I'm fed up! Games are played under the assumption that it's a clean and fair one but the blatant meddling with timings is so sickening and discouraging.

Hope we can get some answers regarding these issues.

I recently got the iPhone 8 and have iOS11.1 and newest version of the app.

When I try to block my controls will randomly dash forward and do a medium attack. This is extremely annoying when fighting in aq/aw etc. it seems like I have to touch the farthest 1/8 of my screen to prevent this from happrning(guessing on the 1/8). How can I get this fixed. I’ve seen a few other posts regarding a similar issue.

This game just keeps f*cking me up with acting with its own mind.
Useless!

MarzGroove

This happens to me once every dozen or so fights. Been happening since maybe 13.0/14.0 timeframe.

AllTrill

It makes my guys dash back for no reason

Bigbadromo

Have any of the mods looked into this?

BossyBuilder

Can't believe thy just think they can delete discussions like this, this company is making me feel sick. I just fought a warboss magik and even after her heavies I rushed straight in and got parried both times, how are we ever supposed to attack a stun immune? Then I used an l1 to intercept (with aa) and it just airpunched two hits like she was unstoppable,

Not sure why this was moved to the Bugs and Known Issues section. These timings problems clearly aren't bugs and "Known Issues" implies that it's known and acknowledged by Kabam, which as far as I know hasn't.

I hope someone gives us some answers. It's really discouraging playing under these conditions. It's not a fair game at the moment.

Imo there are valid points here, except when you go in after heavy attacks i think u **** that up. Also if u block spiderman l1 he can block immidiately after, if your l1 gets blocked you cant block you get beaten

Just lost my 5* duped rank 4 magik against gwenpool coz of a lag in story.
So frustrating the game play is.
When fundamentals of the game doesn’t work - i don’t know what else could go wrong with this game.
And shame on kabam of ignoring the issue for that long.
waiting for us to get tired complaining.

The Hypo/Antman thing? I played that fine. I instantly evaded after his heavy animation started but my champ's movement was too slow. They've changed timings and recovery for us.

Nexus_UY_Scuti

The champs affected are Ms Marvel and Cap Marvel's SP2, Moon Knight SP1 and SP2 after ending a 5 hit combo with medium, Hulk's SP1 after ending a 5 hit combo with medium, and many many more.

Please sort this out, Kabam.

How many times are you going to keep posting the same thing? This is probably why it was deleted. Side note, I'm not Flagging. Just pointing out the obvious.

Until we get a proper response ..duh

So who dictates a proper response? If you don't like the response given you keep posting?

Lol you got the point

GroundedWisdom

They've responded to Threads, including one made by the OP. Posting it over and over won't help anything.

Responded by deleting the thread?

Aren’t you doing the same by saying it again and again lol

They haven't. Please don't ruin this one, we need answers.

GroundedWisdom

I'm not ruining anything. I'm just saying if something is deleted, and you've already posted about it before, then reposting is probably not the best idea. Makes no difference to me. Fill your boots. Lol.

I agree with OP completely. Things that we aren't able to do in game, the AI shouldn't be able to as well. For example, if the last blocked hit is a meidum attack, we cannot recover fast enough to block the opponent's next move. No reason why the AI could.

ViciousJ

Game is lagging really bad today .. I assume another servers crash..that what happened the last time

this is very good detailed info and evidence to kabam and they will say this is the device problem

This is something I've been experiencing. The ai acts like it is unstoppable when I go in to hit them while they are blocking then they just start beating me before I can even counter
