Intimidate doesn’t work.

I completely understand Kabam has come out and said that intimidate is simply a “suggestion” for the defender. However, the defenders are acting as though the suggestion doesn’t even exist. It has hardly worked for me for some time now. It’s insanely frustrating.

Please can we get some insight on if this mechanic is working properly or not? Because it really feels like not.

I would say I've noticed lately using mantis that I can pretty much count on photon attacking me now instead of blocking which is annoying.

Is it not reducing block proficiency either? Or just not making the champ less aggressive?

It doesnt work properly.

I have been testing Gladiator who i got as a 7* and i am just unable to string together hits into the opponents block after intimdate. As that is the way to build his confidence buffs, it can be quite difficult to ramp him up. I have kept him aside until Kabam does something about the intimidate

Intimidate is the best infuriate.

You still gain charges for hitting them whilst they're intimidated

I know that but dashing in to hit an intimidated opponent is too risky now. If you are too wary to dash in then the intimidate expires because it cannot be refreshed

intimidate has been iffy. Been learning that with Sentinel as well.

For sentinel, after the heavy, one whiff should do it. Then we can dash in

Yeah but tbh the way intimidate works we shouldnt really have to do that
