Root - why would parry-heavy whiff?

Pbb22

Red Mags vs Electra in the whatever it’s called Gamma quest. Electra charges while I’m rooted, I parry. Charge heavy. Her foot is inside my root circle. Whiff. So I wait to try it again 10 seconds later. She charges, I parry, her feet are inside my root circle, whiff.

Is this the intention of this node? Why would a parry push the oppo too far from a heavy attack? Is it just a Red Mags/short heavy issue?

Magneto moves forward during his heavy, so root is messing with that

Parry slightly pushed opponents away. This makes you reach kess than mister Fantastic while rooted

More proof that Root should be a one time thing

Yeah. That shouldn’t happen. I guess magnetos heavy has a really short reach

Or maybe proof that they just need to take another look at the mechanic and iron out some of these flaws...
