Tigra gets parried when hitting into the block

Using Tigra
* I got parried once hitting into the block in war (can't remember who)
* I got parried hitting into the block of Penni in the last BG season
* I got parried hitting into block of Fantman during a practice machine, as per the video

This using an iPad Air (5th gen) with OS 16.6.1 on my home WiFi.

It looked like he dropped his guard for a sec and then parried you. Odd

The AI literally learned how to reparry our attacks. Well that's just prime
"Amazing, now let's talk about how ai totally wasn't changed in past 9 months" - Kabam, gaslighting department

Been happening for a while

Disgusting AI. This together with them launching specials while stunned is making me extremely frustrated.

Correct me if I am wrong, I am not a pro, but isn't there something in future ant mans kit that means that if you finsih a combo and the last hit glances, it stuns you? I dunno but I am pretty sure I read that somewhere.

Not with Tigra it’s happening with many other champion, a lot . Champion using block break are getting parry also the fact , opponents are using special while I am attacking and in the middle this dosent even make sense and worst part is u can’t even record ur gameplay

I have to admit I have not been liking the ai lately

Speaking of fun AI abilities. I am not sure if the mechanic is supposed to work like this but I just had an arena match where Killmonger parried a phased heavy from Silver Surfer.

"When opponent's combo ender glances, inflict a stun debuff for 1,5 seconds"
It works only when surging swarm is active.
It has nothing to do with this clip though. The hits were thrown into block and the stun activated at second hit in combo, the first light attack to be precise. We even saw "parry" pop-up in right side of the screen.

Champs with double hit M can get parried into blocks. Happens with Tigra, Domino, Stealthy and Black Cat all the time for me. It sucks, but that is a risk when playing these champs in AW and BGs.

I made a post about this when it happened with Lady Deathstrike fighting Torch, it has nothing to do with Fantman’s stun ability. Sadly, still no response from the dev team. This is such an annoying bug though, you can’t risk hitting into block or else you’ll get comboed to death.

Stand your ground perfect timed parry. As much as i hate them they are fair game. I actually did that to an opponent before by accident

Reparry hitting into a block…. Are you kidding me?

This is absurd. We can’t punish heavies and specials anymore without fear of parry which no human can do, but now we can’t hit into block. Disgusting

AI can reparry now huh

LordSmasher

Can one of those Guardian people nudge the Devs? Is it a bug or intentional?

BigBlueOx

Any double medium risks this, for over a year+ mow

WOLF_LINK

Nothing to do with Tigra, the AI can (and will) do that more often now, especially the PvP AI (War, BG, Arena as you mentioned).

Kabam !!?!?!?!
Are we not supposed to hit the BLOCK now? If you guys did not tuned it up then it's quite clear in this video that AI evolved on its own. Do something before we have another Ultron situation !!!!

Passive AI, player try to hit block repeatedly, get stunned for no reason. So I urge you all to keep commenting on this video and not let this thread die down like other ones.

Kyllak11

Lol this happens to me a lot

iDestroyerZ

@Kabam Miike you said in the other thread that this needs to be adressed as individual bugs right? Well the OP gave all the information you need, is this going to be adressed or not?

Likely not, Kabam asked for video proof, here it is but it's getting silently ignored till it falls in irrelevant section of forums, keep this thread alive.

Got parried by NF 3-4 times on hitting his block in AW, "AI IS NOT CHANGED" so i am the one who is delusional.

LordSmasher

What's the point of providing video evidence to bugs if there is no acknowledge?

Vanitelia

Pretty sure this was a thing with Blade in EOP as well. Everyone hit it on the head with the double medium though. Speaking of AI, I was fighting a NC the other day and he was sitting in the corner tapping block repeatedly. Looked like he was having convulsions or something. Is what it is unfortunately.

I was just going through exploration for 8.2. In 8.2.4 there is an Invade path which rewards hitting into the block. I was parried mid-combo several times on this path by Beast, Guardian, and HB. First time I encountered it. If it weren't also a Life Transfer path I would've been quite displeased instead of just mildly frustrated.

AMS94

That has been happening for a while
I remember it happening at the time of EOP
It's just that it has gotten a lot more common now, & hence more people are talking about it

And Kabam has never commented on it since then. I first experienced it with BWDO… and it impacts BGs and AW to the point where I think the double medium is a drawback as a design feature

iDestroyerZ

Not a single aknowledgment, i truly want to understand why kabam does this kind of things, they close almost every thread about the AI saying that you need to report as individual bugs, provide informations and videos and etc...now people do that and kabam remains constantly silent
Just why?

PT_99

There's like 2-3 days old thread where a guy said that AI is changed but he had no video proof, so Kabam was quick to say, "blah blah, provide proof, it's hard to figure out" and closed the thread immediately afterwards.
Now? There's a proof but no word of acknowledgement yet, very sus.
