Why does this happen?

Why do evade defenders counter attack each time they evade? You can't do that as an attacker yet defenders are able to do it.
Is this a bug or is it working as intended?

Just weird that there is something only defenders can do.
Currently exploring Cav eq and I hate that Spider-Man. I guess it's time to rank up Elsa

Mole God: I don't have such weaknesses

Ultron is a master at it. Sometimes it appears like he didn't dash back at all. Just a slight lean back and a combo to your face. With many evaders you can parry them if you block the moment they evade but not Ultron

You can actually do this yourself, it’s just not very consistent. And while you may think the AI can do it consistently it’s actually not that consistent at all.

The issue here is that if you want to do it, you’ll get hit a few times before you pull it off, and that’ll get you killed. Because usually the opponent only has to hit us 1-3 combos depending on the content, but we have to hit the opponent 50-100 times.

But because the AI doesn’t care if it gets hit, it just throws attacks after evading and sometimes they hit you.

The other thing is that most of the time, if you throw a medium attack to end your combo it has a couple extra milliseconds of animation than a light attack. This means you’ve got extra time when you’re in dead space for the AI to react and hit you.

A small tip is when you’re fighting evaders and you can’t just parry MLM, try and go MLLL and then back off. If they evade during, you should be able to react and they won’t be able to counter attack you. The issue is when you end with a MLLLM, and they have more time to counter attack

You can actually go test this out yourself. Take an evade champ into a lower duel, and let them hit you. While they hit you, tap your light attack constantly. Most of the time, if you evade on one of their light attacks, they’ll carry on their combo and hit you, because you don’t have time to react. But if you evade one of their medium attacks, you can counter attack really quickly.

This has turned out way longer than I expected, so, sorry for the essay lol. I just found this interesting and went out and tested it.

It's a pretty interesting essay. I'll test it out.

The evade bug has never been fixed ever since then

When someone gives you a whole story of what the mechanism is, and then you come saying it is a bug again.
And, @BitterSteel , thank you for the idea of MLLLL combo's
