AI Heavy Reaction Time

avs7733

The last couple months it seems AI is able to react much faster after throwing a heavy attack. How many times I’ve been baiting a heavy dodged it and punished and they either are able to get their block up or worse throw a special attack. I’m not sure why this change was made to the AI but whether myself or the opponent throws a heavy we should be locked in to the animation since it’s a higher damage, higher risk ability.

That AI special intercept will get you. I've been special intercepted more times in the past 12 months than I have in the 7yrs I played the game.
You just have to adjust your gameplay because AI is not the same anymore and Kabam refuses to admit it.

They changed the AI. You can't punish heavies anymore without eating a special. It happens routinely now. The game is all messed up and they main concern is some 20 percent revives

The AI is constantly changed from time to time without any notice. Its been happening quite a lot

Over the years and updates it’s always felt like parry timing is something you have to adjust to every month, but never anything like this where you can’t punish anything.

For me, it's heavy, punish, parry. As soon as they throw the heavy, dash back then punish like I've done a thousand times but here of late, I've been parried whenever I punish a heavy.

Yeah I've got clipped when trying to punish a heavy as well as of late... Either I get her with a special or intercepted... It's crazy

But kabam has stated multiple times they never adjust the AI or timing mechanics. It surely must be a device specific issue. Have you tried filling out a bug report?

Nop, the AI changes. Either that or a "bug" that happens with everyone, but doubt it's a bug
