Is Mordo's Block Broken?

Hey Guys,

Not sure if it's intentional for mordo's block to seem sluggish when you press block? Keep getting hit because it's different to every other character?

For some reason i can't block after the last hit on a combo

that's why you only do 4 hits instead of 5 when using him, he is not broken, he just to slow if you try to block/parry after a five hit combo. That means change the way you fight when using him and only do a four hit combo.

You can block and parry if you end a 5-hit combo with M, but the parry timing is tricky.

I disagree wholeheartedly....while "broken" may not be the right term, the fact that he cannot block/parry after a 5 hit combo is most assuredly not his intended style of play.

Temporarily yes there are ways to circumnavigate the issue i.e ending with a medium and just stopping the combo at 4....but he still is "not working as intended"
As Kabam loves to say.

No offense but if everyone had the mindset of "just deal with it" or "ignore the problem and adjust your gameplay"....fixes to said issues would never happen....

I use a five hit combo and block fine with him.

been having problems with him lately lol

Venom had this problem when he was first released. Definitely not intended.

It's been discussed multiple times (especially after his arena). If you end a 5-hit combo with a light hit, you cannot block. It has been identified as a bug.

While Kabam (hopefully) tries to fix it, you can work around it by:

ending the 5-hit combo with a medium hit
ending the combo with 4 hits
using a special immediately after the 5th hit (but still runs the risk of being blocked)

I typically just use a 4-hit combo, then will use a special if it's charged otherwise will dash back and prepare for the next parry.

Can't block with Mordo anymore, Kabam screwed up again

This has been a BUG since 12.0. After any 5 hit combo Mordo is frozen and cannot do anything for almost a full second. It needs to be fixed ASAP as it really kills his offensive ability.

This is about the 10th thread for Mordo's block, the devs are aware and will hopefully be fixed soon.

Until then the workaround is perfectly fine and ending a 5 hit combo with a M will actually make you do more damage and be a better player, so why not alter your playstyle?

I have the same problem with Hyperion

Gameplay as a whole is broken, dude.

Have had Mordo since I pulled him from 5* and featured PHC last November. Happy to see the issues that existed back then are now more widely acknowledged since his general release. Nevertheless, there's no suggestion of a solution forthcoming from the game team, who dismissed or downplayed the issues players raised last winter. Only suggestion is a player solution: 4-hit combos. Stack fury. Spam Sp1. Repeat. Works well--he is a top 10-15 champ even with the bug.

And don't expect the game team to fix anything. They've been aware for 8 months and have done little more than dissemble.

Adapt your play style otherwise you will always suck fighting with him. Not that hard to do 4 hit combo.

Has anyone else noticed that NC has the same problem?

It's less obvious because of his crazy evade skills, but all it takes is one accidental switch to Swashbuckling mode and it's like Mordo2.0.

Could be, I remember many times I'm counter attacked with NC and I was thinking I was doing something wrong.

Having same issue. It's most definitely a bug.
