BG pause feature

When the timer runs out after pausing the fight, my champs just sit there doing nothing while the defender runs at me and hits me a couple times causing me to lose a lot of my hp or die. Or when I pause the fight just after the defender activates sp3 and the timer runs out, I still lose all my hp as if the defender had hit me with that sp3.

I know things weren't like this during the previous season. So is this a bug or a silent nerf or an intended feature?

    This would be a good feature to add if it’s the case

    It is an intended interaction that you can't pause after the enemies use their sp3. It has been that way since Season 1, except season 1 you could quit the match and not take the damage, but if you just paused and waited out the timer, you'd take the sp3 damage.

    I believe this feature has also been active in AW for a very long time. No cheating your way out of dying because you messed up or weren’t paying attention.
    To the OP, it should always work like this because pausing isn’t playing. The first part sounds like a bug, but the SP3 is correct.

    Wait, so you're pausing the match to favour your outcome and you're admitting to that? Tread carefully lad, they'll be out with pitchforks before long 🤣🤣.

    The pausing in opponents sp3 is intentional like others have said. Not sure about the first part though

    Pause it as soon as AI gets full power, before they throw the sp3 😏

    Its deigned to teach you a lesson for pausing.

    Pausing on purpose is cheating.

    Kabam has stated clearly that using this tactic is not cheating as it is fully fair and available to all players according to how the game has been created (not modded). However, they have also stated (I believe it was Miike) that it does not fit within the spirit of the contest. So it is not cheating, but it is also not an honorable tactic and players that use it do so with little integrity. They just haven’t found a good fix for this problem yet.
