Anyone else getting a weird medium intercept bug?

So had this occur quite a few times, and it’s similar in feeling to the parry bug, where you expect it to work..and then it’s just like…wait..wtf..I timed that perfectly..how the f did that happen?
So just to be clear. No miss mechanic going on. No autoblock, no unstoppable going on.
Now I want to be sure I understand medium intercepts correctly…
Opponent dashes in from far end of screen doing a medium hit dash.
As they dash in, I time my medium hit dash to hit them as they are dashing in.
As long as I am moving and dashing in with my medium, and my medium started after their medium, then my medium will hit first, and that is called a medium intercept.
Well…that stuff is broken.
So I’ve had it now where I’ve timed it perfectly, and the opponent just smashes you with their medium hit. Initially I thought maybe it’s just an adjustment with timing with the 60fps. And maybe I was just mistiming it.
However, I’ve had a few now where they dash, my character physically dashes in after they start their dash, and in the middle, when I expect my medium intercept to work, it doesn’t, I just get smashed with a 5 combo, starting with…their medium dash.
Can this be fixed? it’s kind of annoying. Especially when it’s stuff like shocker, and I’m trying to remove his charges, or just any fight where I can’t parry due to the defender or the nodes…

Previously I’ve just had it fail near my screen edge and I thought maybe I mistimed it a bit.
Both times the connection was in the centre of the screen, and I got wrecked both times
@Pikolu
Can this get put on thee to do list at all? Or is it already there?
Mentioned here
So, yeah, happening to me too. (I'm on 30fps)
Like this.. I know she does have a miss mechanic but it’s happening constantly to me against all defenders.
Nothing about this fight was hard. Except when I tried to intercept, or when I tried to dodge when they’re activating a special; etc. I take a 5 hit combo to the face when it’s clear I’m not bad at this game - I know what I’m doing, but I’m punished for it.
Honestly, I’m so tired.
They aint doing jack about this one.
They are aware of this, the devs play the game too, so they know.
This should be on their number 1 priority but it's not.
Don't go for medium intercepts. Try to go for lights and pray.
Great.
Your advice isn’t all that helpful either as the AI is almost immune to back drafts now or is fast enough to punish a light whiff with a medium anyways.
Since the 60fps update, perfectly timed medium intercepts regularly don’t connect and result in getting clipped by the defender. This didn’t used to happen.
Kabam is busy counting thier greens.
My advice is quiet helpful tho.
When nothing works, 'PRAY'
