A running list of champions impacted by the defender reparry sutuation

BigBlueOx

I’m surprised this isn’t getting more attention tbh. It probably speaks to the fact that it’s AW off-season and most of the community tapering of BGs to lock in placements than the hot fix working, because honestly it really hasn’t, at least not well enough. If I need to hit the block in any fight to control a defender or to ramp up my attacker there is still about a 50% chance I’m getting reparried in that fight. Not parried fo a risky attack but reparried engaging in game mechanics I’m designed to utilize… and it’s sad that it’s been left this way with no further communication since the original acknowledgement. Maybe a list of impacted champs either made riskier to use or better on defense will help highlight how big of a problem this is:

Hurt by defender ability to reparry, basically unreliable in high end competitive content:
Hulkling
Mantis
Valk
Massacre
Aegon
Serpent
Shang Chi
Spider-Man 2099
Rintrah
Gladiator
Adam Warlock
Juggy - get stunned hitting a block and goodbye gem
All double medium users
Good luck hitting the block to control spacing as well

Defenders buffed by the reparry ability. (Outside of the generic “all” of them)
-Unblockable nodes get riskier if you hit the block for spacing as said above
-Thing, controlling Rock Stacks is now a “will I get stunned” adventure
-Peni, need to bring down her shield without a counter, mwhahaha
-LDS - hit her block to bring down ferocity… or give up on special 1 or 2, seems fun

Mind you, I’m not saying that we can’t adapt, but we shouldn’t get punished by playing these interactions as designed. Feel free to add to this list as well as it’s a big game and I’m sure I missed something, not even on getting into nodes for example.

In the AW showcase I don't recall getting reparried by Thing at all. I was mainly using Kushula and managed rock stacks by hitting into the block frequently to take him to 15

Yeah it’s been working fine for me too. I’m more concerned with these 50 year long load times

Definitely got reparried by him on both lines. And in BGs and AW today.

Can you get some vids. Your claiming a 50% chance here.

I did note the Dork wasn't quite clear about reparry in his post here https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/371315/45-1-hotfix-update-07-09-2024#latest.
Make it sounds like there is a chance it would happen when that chance should be 0%.

50% per a fight, not a hit into block. I guess I’ll try and record with AW since that won’t count.

And I am aware of that post, but like you mention it should be a 0% chance of this so I don’t find it an adequate conclusion
