Medium intercepts

chupa_ranger

Is something wrong with medium interceptions? I feel like im getting constantly intercepted when i have been intercepting the same way for many years. It seems like the AI has a hidden unstoppable and it’s getting to the point where i can’t take it anymore. Playing on 60 FPS, might have to switch

Issue is definitely more common on 60fps. I have now switched to 30fps but it still happens sometimes.
They broke the game pretty hard with the update lol

It's definetely one of the worst updates. Near unplayable in AW now.

BGs is even worse…

I’ve had this happen multiple times now, even when I’m the one going into my hit animation first I’ll still somehow get medium intercepted. It’s honestly getting super annoying and I hope this gets looked at soon

medium intercepts, and also medium punished of specials and heavies. super fun. o/

I documented a pretty clear and reproducible case of this here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/387488/medium-dash-attack-whiffing-against-heavy#latest

I don't think they have a secret unstoppable buff. I think the medium dash attack is just whiffing sometimes. Very frustrating.

Evryone facing this bug - but no official comment 🤷🤷

MrKillaChris

I thought I was crazy, especially in Battle Grounds and even some animations move so quickly you can't respond with a light intercept.

It happens with parry too. Swedeah got a AW Video on YouTube where u see him clearly parrying but he got smacked in the face nontheless

I'm almost just not going to attempt to intercept anymore ...it's stupid. You don't know when will be the moment you get screwed.

x2 same problem

Glad I’m not the only person seeing this. Surprised I haven’t seen any content creators commenting about it, but maybe just not putting it in their titles or tired of pointing out AI problems. Thought this would just be a temporary bug with how game changing it is, but now that it’s been going on for weeks, why hasn’t Kabam acknowledged it?

Will this bug be discussed in the livestream or people will spam the bug fix when 😂😂

Halordon

Latest update did not fix the issue. Medium intercept still does not work as it did for years…

DarthMingo

When will they fix this intercept issue??!!! And then throw intercept Nodes for us to complete in content on top of that?!!! Unbelievable!

WayWorn2525

Still the same bucking BS!!! Medium intercept still whiff like passing gases!!

KallaiR

same here. i got hit instead of intercept the defender. game is nearly unplayable in some nodes!

MrPotatoehead

This i just too stupid. Medium intercepts, sidestepping into 4 or 5 hit combos. The lovely getting-parried-when-punishing-heavy-or-special. This is TOO dumb.

I’ve been playing for almost 10 years. I didn’t all of a sudden lose all my skill.

Stupid. Lame. Dumb.

Still happening to me on both accounts.

I am intercepting when I personally think I was too late and I should get wrecked. Its a weird feeling, and the ones I think I should land I get destroyed on.

@Kabam Lyra or another kabam person, please look at this thread. I made it a month and 2 weeks ago and we are still getting problems
