Special one and two keep getting blocked!

As the title states, my specials are being blocked after performing a combination. I've tried every combination so a special would land and nothing.
It started the last couple days. A few of my Ally members experiencing the same thing. Please help @Kabam Miike

You should probably specify the champions

My SP1 and SP2 have always been blockable if not used at the right time...

This has been happening to me pretty regularly since the 18.0 update, and continues with 19.0. I'm guessing it is related to the CPU "reaction time" after being hit. They've probably tightened it up (reduced it) which makes it extremely difficult to string a special from a combo attack.

These types of subtle changes aren't listed out in the changelog but it's definitely been different for a while now in an obvious effort to increase difficulty.

I've stopped opening support tickets for stuff like this because it's always the same form-letter reply that never amounts to anything. And yes, I have reinstalled the game, closed background apps, rebooted my phone, etc.

I've only noticed this with specific characters. Superior Iron Man, Ms. Marvel and Doctor Voodoo. After the 18.0 update I also noticed this happening with Hulk's L1.

Hey All,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This is something that the team has already been looking into, but if you can tell us what Champions you see this occur with, where you're seeing it (mode/quest, etc.), and who you're fighting against, that would be very helpful!

Thank you!

The ai's read, reaction, and recovery time have been ratcheted up for quite a while now and it's causing major problems for many players all over the place.

Certain champions get blocked more than others but it can happen to all of them, just doing a special, just doing a special out of a combo, doing a combo plus heavy plus a special or a heavy then a special they can block them.

They can recover way way faster than us block from ridiculous positions and much much more, they've been looking into it forever and i doubt they'll ever actually fix it or address it

Mike, I will try to record this happening.

I can tell you that it happens all the time (any game mode) with special 1 and 2 on my 5* Dr. Voodoo against pretty much any champ, but I do use him often so of course I would notice it right away there. I also saw it happening with Archangel's special 1 and 2.

It's all kinds of champions in all kinds of modes, against all kinds of eniemes and it's been going on for awhile.

Get you want specifics but in general it's a problem with the enemy ai itself which makes some fights a frustrating broken mess.

Voodoo gets blocked a lot
Yellow jacket gets blocked a lot
Void gets blocked a lot

It's not limited to specials either, there's been tons of these threads all over the place and there hasn't been much said about what exactly you're doing about it.

Hawkeye's special 1 triggers so slow that sometimes even immediately after a parry is blocked.

The_Lias

Try to land an SP with Moon Knight after a combo ... simply impossible

thetamilguy

try and adapt to the game, if kabam cant fix the ai problems then adapt and intercept the ai with specials.

Specifically cant get an sp1 or 2 to not be blocked after combo with og hulk. Experimented in arena and multiple acts.

AerialFolly

Literally pick a Champion and pick a place to fight in the game and it happens.

Blade L2 getting blocked after a 5 combo. Spark L1 same thing.

Also block/parry is not functioning properly and adds to this issue. Trying to parry then combo or special either results in a block by the AI or the AI just combos us. And Act 5 is not very forgiving when you get hit by a 5 combo that you had no control to evade or block.

I have the same problem too. I try using regular hulk's special 1 in evangeline challenge, no matter how early i trigger special one, captain america infinity war always blocks in time. The same issue happens for ant man final boss but not as severe as captain america infinity war. It happens when i trigger special 1 from MLLLM combo

@Kabam Miike Killmonger is the worst at getting his s2 blocked. Please look into Killmongers sp2. Thanks!

Medusa's SP1 gets blocked out of a combo on the reg now. That armor shatter is tougher to get now. But all my champs seem to struggle with this in harder content (act 5, uncollected, and even in some arena matches).
