Anyone else have their attacks whiffing more than usual?

I'm in Act 6, trying to complete the objectives. For some reason, things seem a bit off. It's as if the window during which a champ can't be hit when they've been knocked down has been increased slightly. Normally, I'd just throw my Punisher 2099's SP2 and then immediately run into the opponent and start wailing on them, but when I reach them now, my first attack or so just whiffs past them. Likewise, I was in the corner with the 6.1.1 Sabertooth boss, Doom-slapping him and having a grand ol' time when, suddenly, he was slapping my Doom with an almighty furry fury. I was standing right next to him and my heavy just didn't connect, which then gave him an opening to immediately counterattack me to a very untimely death.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Short answer is yep! I wondered if I was the only one.

A lot of timing things are still off. Ive stopped using HB for the time being because his Heavy started to whiff a lot again, or he'd be attacked before he could heavy spam against champs that were on the spam-safe list.

Shockingly well written for this forum!

In aq today I’m just being hit mid combo, don’t even see a lag, I’m just getting hit by a combo or special when I was half way through my combo

Just did my 1st run through 6.1.1 last night and can confirm.i was also getting random inputs(took a combo to the face from a random forward dash, random heavy)

Same. I used him against Nimrod on completion and heavy spammed him into oblivion. Tried it during exploration and got countered each time

Twice in aq map 7 buffed up lane venom vs vulture I threw my sp1 on the 4th hit and he blocked it. Twice. I just assumed my timing was off.

This isn't exactly the same thing, but I just had RoL Winter Soldier interrupt Hulkbuster after the first hit of his SP2 before the beam. So many weird little things happening that hopefully get fixed during maintenance Tuesday.

i've noticed that some champs have a higher reaction time to getting back up after being knocked down. storm x and g2099 to name a few. i tried probably 3 times to heavy spam in v6 with venom against g2099, and after about 3 heavies, she just gets up and does a 5 hit combo

ChaosMax1012

Noticed that when i spammed heavy with CW in the corner.

Yeah its happening much lately. Sometimes I miss my specials too.

The game’s getting painful to play lately. They might start seeing a large drop in players if stuff like this isn’t fixed soon

It has always been like this, you can't safely heavy spam Storm (OG and X), Guilly (OG and 2099), Venom the Duck and Jane Foster, they recover from the knock-down too fast and you can just hope that they will block instead of attacking you. These are the ones that I remember, but i'm fairly sure that there's another champion that i always forgot ^_^

I saw that HB didnt get the push back after sp2 on wall, was standing too close for apoc (AQ) to counter. Safe list is kinda all over rhe place, I dont even know anymore if I can use him reliably or not.

Tbh, I dont expect kabam to fix this one. Some core mechanics seems to fluctuate for some champs after major engine updates.

Don't want to complain, it's just another annoying thing I have to adapt to.

There was a post in bug section about storm x (3-4 months ago).
There is a glitch, it was proven there was no standing up animation, she teleports to standing up after being in knocked down position.

But in case of g99 she just recovers fast no bug there.

Edit: here's the link to storm X recovery bug

There was a bigger thread than this, which I recall was under a different header.

Even my MVP (6 star HB) has been whiffing leaves a lit more than it happened before

Hoitado

My Light attack went through Hit-Monkey

BigBlueOx

this is turning into a constant issue, really annoying.

10or_Strong

Definitely been seeing this more!

GroundedWisdom

Yes, it's like they all have Limber or something.

IRQ

Yes, definitely yes. I've been trying to do some unexplored paths in act6 for the weeklies and between parry and this I could hardly do anything for uncol milestones without spending additional resources, which should not be an issue. Frankly, I try not to throw this kind of accusations but the way it's played right now (we are asked to do late game content with bugs that at least make it harder, at most hardly possible in a somewhat limited time to have access to future event) starts to look more and more like a money grabbing plot forcing us to spend on potions and revives.

Thought it was just me. Glad to see it isn't the players but the game is the problem.
