Unexpected evade saves the day... for the opponent.

Hey. So, I understand this isn't probably new, but I just wanna complain about evades popping up and massively backfiring. I was playing alliance war with my Spiderman Stark Enhanced against a Darkhawk. So, I was baiting his sp1 and, when it started, I successfully blocked in time (the first attacks even hit the block as it was supposed to). But when DH used his beam, evade kicked in twice, which wouldn't be a big deal if the next 2 hits landed. Now, I was holding block the whole time and still got hit by it after an evade I have absolutely no control over.

Now, I'm not really complaining about evade itself, since it's really useful with sparky (makes you stack up poises and the like), but the mechanics are really all over the place on this. If you think about it, there's literally nothing you can do but pray your champ is able to hold off the attack without activating the passive evade (which has an increased 40% chance per hit on specials), because if he does he'll get hit no matter what. It's just stupid.

Is this a bug or it's just bad game designing?

    Quit trying to block specials when you should be manually evading....🤷‍♂️

    Manually evading DH's sp1 is a pain in the ass even for seasoned players, which I am not. The issue here is not about being good enough to dext him, but being backstabbed by the passive evade. If I'm not good enough to dext it, which I am not, I should still be safe blocking it, don't you agree?

    This response shows you have little to no understanding of the real issue. If you use Stark Spidey and you get to manually dex a special the AI will still quite often override your attempt with an Auto Evade and thus you are back in the exact same position that the OP has described. Just such a scenario occurred for me this week during a fight vs KP boss in aq. I was attempting to dex his special 2 when the auto evade killed me instead.

    It would be nice if all evade mechanics were like Spider-Gwen’s (can’t evade while blocking). There would still be issues, but it would make it a lot more manageable, and it wouldn’t change much for defence

    Ye dominos auto evade has screwed me up countless times as evaded and dash backs have different distances with an evade allowing the enemy to chain a combo

    There was a similar bug a while back where auto-evades would disable block. I know Kabam identified it as a bug and was fixed. Sounds like this bug is back?

    Almost a year after it was fixed, could it be coming back?
