Why is landing a special with Phoenix so difficult?

CammonRo

Phoenix's specials get blocked more frequently then any other champ in the game. Both special 1 and 2. Why is this? Is this a bug?

Shrimkins

Her last medium attack is actually 2 rapid hits. If you launch your special after the first hit, it will typically get blocked. You have to wait until both attacks land then launch the special.
