Input System Update - Sept 2021: Discussion Thread

Kabam Miike

Hey Summoners,

It’s been a little while since we’ve communicated on the ongoing Control issues, and today we wanted to give you all a different kind of post, where we’ll explore the cause of the issue, what it entails, and the progress we’ve made on our journey so far in addressing the inconsistencies and changes in control timing.

We also want to take a moment to better outline what the issue actually is, as we know there’s some confusion surrounding the exact symptoms of this issue. We’ve seen players reporting issues such as framerate drops or lag that are not related to this issue, and are being addressed separately with some fixes coming your way soon.

We also want to give you more insight into why this process is taking some time to address, why it’s difficult to address issues based on “feel”, and introduce you to a new member of our team!

You can read the post here, and then come back to this thread to discuss!

Am I the only one whos blocking instead of dexing half the time they swipe back ????

Definitely not the only one. It’s part of the parry/Dex bug.

Per the bug timing, if you ‘miss’ the Dex, it either gets you clobbered or you parry/block instead.

Would be nice to see another update on the state of the fix. Kabam mentions that it will be after the first of the year, but ‘in 2022’ could mean Jan/Feb or it could mean next October….

I've been getting blocks instead of Dex on Android for ages, doesn't necessarily mean it is the new parry/Dex bug. Don't know why they can't resolve that issue in some way. When fighting champs like BPCW where a block that I didn't tell it to do can really get my champ wrecked it sucks.
