Op is wrong imo. The game just got harder. The AI can't block you after they use a medium or a heavy attack, you just gotta act faster. It's still very doable. Most of us noticed that the AI has become more aggressive and has been moving faster lately, you just have to adapt and react faster.

It's literally impossible to "react faster", because I can start swiping/tapping before the AI's medium hit even ends, and it still gets parried. We simply can't do the things AI does

I have learnt every skills,which needed to know,to play this game,block,parry,evade and intercept.they are useless now.i do not say that,it is impossible to beat heavy opponents.it is still possible.the question is that,am i enjoying the game like this and how much unit i will spend?do i like this dodgy way,do i like the boosted and cheater ai?not at all.do i want to grind too much for units,or to spend too much money,to spend it,because the ai is able to cheat?not at all.i guess,99% of the players are not enjoying the end game contents.

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.
