The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

Archangel Heavy Whiffing [More Info Needed]

I have noticed that the last swing of AA's heavy attack is missing fairly often. This bug leaves the fighter wide open to be rushed after the missed hit because it doesn't finish and knock the enemy down. I am playing on most recent IOS of iPhone 7 if needed.

    Hey there @UKnowULuvIt. I tried reproducing this, and it looks like the final hit of my Heavy Attack is landing every time. Can you let me know which opponents and game modes you've seen this with most often? Thanks.

    It is due to a couple of things, possibly more.

    1)knock/push back after a parry. When parrying an enemy with more push back the parry pushes AA so far back that the tail end of the heavy can miss.

    2)AA's own pushback during a heavy attack that pushes the enemy out of range for the last part of the heavy. Happens when a heavy is used with a lot of distance between champions.

    If you want to test an enemy with a great deal of push back the 5* venom in the monthly master EQ, 2.2 "Raw Nerve" has so much push back Mordo's heavy is unable to connect afterwards. Oddly a Venom of a lesser rarity (4*) has less push back than the 5*.
