I'm not sure how it's possible that this is still broken. 12.0 was a long time ago now, this recovery issue is starting to look pretty shady on your part. It's been bad enough having specials blocked, parries failing, the impossible nature of landing a slow special after a 5 hit, but now I'm getting blocked before the last hit of a 5 hit combo even. I play on Iphone 7+, there are no performance issues. This has cost people so much more than any other issue since 12.0, and it's still here... getting worse daily...

In general the enemy ai has been reacting to fast, blocking things left and right, interrupting specials or just shrugging them off like their nothing and not taking damage from them, getting hit and taking no damage or moving back, doing more damage then they're supposed to do.
Getting extra strides on power hits, using a second and a first special one after the other with a full power bar, being hyper aggressive, not using their specials etc.
When coupled with all the other issues with combat like failing blocks, getting blocks ripped through on regular hits or specials, the auto fight bug, them running ahead for no reason when we're holding block.
Them firing off specials randomly, them being unresponsive to our taps and swipes and just sitting there getting their faces beat in because they won't move, them attacking by themselves evades not working, power attacks not working, issues with parry, issues with dexterity and other mastries, character abilities etc.
When I attack they're supposed to attack, when I swipe back they're supposed to move back, when i swepe forward they're supposed to move foward, when I block they're supposed to block, when I use a special they're supposed to use them, etc.
Since 12.0 all these issues and more have been coming up each day with little to no improvement no matter how much we tell you, no matter how much we show evidence of the issues some these issues have been going in for months yet they still persist.
It makes combat and the game a buggy frustrating mess, that just costs us champs, resources, moeny, units, boosts, etc. You guys really need to take time and go over your game and fix some of these issues before people either quit, stop paying money or whatever.
We also have the same issue in alliance quest where all characters and symbioids have a much more aggressive/complicated AI.
Usually they will have reaction times that are impossible for a player to do. Such as the AI blocking straight after the special attack button gets pushed aftet a 5 hit combo.
In other situations, the AI will dodge and interrupt the first part of a special with a light attack. This shouldn't happen because once a special has been activated, it cannot be interrupted.
Wait a minute..... didn't i leave

Having a slightly increased aggression is not necessarily a bad thing if your play style is Parry/bait oriented, but when it's turned up too much your champs can't recover fast enough to even attempt parrying.
Symbiote in AQ seems to be the biggest culprit with the issues described above (especially the rapid recovery & quick specials). I have also noticed they aren't as easy to Parry as the playable champs. I have experienced the aggression/recovery issues across all game modes.
Been playing for 2.5 years with 400k+ rating.
Since playing with Mordo more often I have developed the MLLLM play style and have always done specials after the 3rd or 4th hit never after the fifth.
I play on an iPhone 6S or and iPhone 6
Exactly and then all kinds of other things start happening, like you losing control of your champions because they won't move and the ai just tees off on your champ multiple times a fight.
I have these issues on different phones, so does my alliance and my friends so it doesn't seem to be device or phone specific.
It's really a pain and a drain on resources and makes the game frustrating instead of fun. I really wish they would figure out what's causing all of this and fix it before it gets even worse.
Yeah I agree, it seems like it's either lagging in waves, or normal with bursts of sped up A.I. recovery. It's hard to tell if it's some kind of visual lag , but feels more like the A.I. recovery time is going through the roof temporarily. I tested Nightcrawler in act 5 since he's already fast ...killed me so quickly at one point, that it didn't even show the animation. It could very well be a combination of both.
It's not supposed to be easy, otherwise there's no challenge and it's just another boring game.
You don't understand how it feels, having to adapt differently everyday. It's a pain in the @** to have to change fighting styles regularly.
It's not that i don't like challenge but what I'm saying is that ATM AI is so much aggressive that it's sooo good at intersecting, fire off special just when you are going to attack him or catches you mid air just when you swipe back or try to bait special. In short there is no way that we can play to beat the opponents. For ex, YJ in day 5 of AQ (with around 8k prestige) keep using his heavy attack and saves power until he is at full 3 bar power and this is happening to me since the update 13.0. Kabam really need to look into the situation and do some fruitful work.
Also had numerous times where I've pressed my special multiple times and my champ just stands there doing nothing.
AI is sometimes able to pull off a 5 hit combo (usually because of the above issue) and immediately launch into another 5 hit combo before my champ has recovered, and to top it off it by that point you're probably in the corner, and the AI just stands there block down waiting for you to even attempt an attack.
Spoiler alert: if you attempt an attack you will get parried, if you try a special attack it'll get parried and then they'll launch into another combo while your champ recovers.
Not when you fights opponents that can kill you in 1 shot from a full health on 5\50 or 4\55 in AQ.
They recover quicker but so what... so can we. Adjust the way you play
I'm seriously at a loss for how you can say, "... so can we"... pretty sure in countless hours of grinding arenas, quests, etc., before and since 12.0 I have NEVER parried a special after being rolled by a 4-5hit combo from the AI. I could be wrong though...
