JUST STOP IT- Heavies being parry stunned

Troy_Elric123

Players are under a lot of pressure while playing in competitive AW. There are so much that can go wrong in so little time. There is only so much things a human can be expected to get perfectly.

Add to that a mechanic that can whoop your champ in 2 seconds or less (quick heavies) is the last thing you need. Also it is the worst outcome as you have no control over it.

You hide from work to get in a quick war fight, put on all the boosts, summon the lords of inner peace and go into a fight to be one upped by this poorly designed and thought out mechanic.

So please just stop this. Some things need to be absolute. Resisting is fine. But parry stunning? Like come on guys, give the players a break.

The AI does seem to recover too quickly sometimes and punish you.

The AI should only be able to do things real players can do both in mechanics and speed.

A well timed block causes parry stun. What's the issue. You can do it too

i think what Op may be referring to is the Stand Your Ground mastery that allows defenders to resist block break, in this instance, the parry stun is almost run out and by the time you connect the AI manages to perform a well timed block and stunning you.

I’ve been saying this for a year and it’s why I don’t do alliance content anymore. Maybe I need to “git gud” but I genuinely don’t think that the ai should be able to parry. Of course an ai system can choose the exact right time to block, but I’m not interested in getting into those fights

I like how when we get stunned, even after stun is expired, there is still a .3 sec delay before you can do anything..but when i stun AI, they recover right when stun expire or even a millisecond before...

AI parrying is fine and fair. AI proccing stand-your-ground and parrying in the same instance is kinda bs, you have to admit. You decide to heavy counter and end up getting parried, that'd be infuriating, especially in high risk war/bg content. You've done nothing wrong there, but get screwed by rng.

So you haven't been parried in the middle of a special attack then? The AI can do amazing things .. I sometimes wish I was AI or that I could unlock whatever they do in order to accomplish such things.

Hell yeah to the last statement!!!!!

Stand your ground is awesome for war and bgs... And yes the chance of parry on heavy (usually on multi hit heavies) is part of it...

You said something about resisting unblockable attacks is where this cross the line.
And I wanted to add to it by saying, getting hit by first hit of multi hit heavy and resisting later part of hits. That too crosses the line.

Yeah, I get that we players can perry a heavy too but the AI being able to do it just makes it unfair since they can just do it anytime you heavy if it decides it's time for you to die. That basically means any time you want to use heavy in the game you have a chance of just getting parried and wrecked. not cool. Its not a fair playing field in a game like this where you have to be perfect in every move because the defender damage is just so high and so much at stake.
