you have provided zero evidece of the bug, let alone overwhelming.
No one disagrees this sometimes happens.
The first time you do so, I demonstrate that the damage done was the damage that was supposed to be done, if everything was working correctly and no safeguard exists. This doesn't prove safeguard doesn't exist, it proves your evidence is rubbish. The burden of proof is on you, but I've done more work to figure out what's happening in your pictures than you're doing to make your case.
No one is being "triggered" here. What's happening is what's supposed to happen. Someone makes a claim. They are asked to back up that claim with evidence. That evidence is analyzed to see if that evidence has any value. In this case it doesn't, and when the person making the claim fails to acknowledge that and continues to pile even more valueless "evidence" on top without thought but with a lot of defensiveness, it becomes obvious to everyone what's going on.
And then everyone else moves on to more important things. I moved on to more important things, because I think this particular issue (of the safeguard) is settled (at least in this instance), but I think it is worth mentioning that your attempts at playing the martyr shouldn't discourage other people from reporting potential problems and presenting actual evidence of the problem that is worth anything. When people reported issues with diminishing returns, with challenge rating, with Pure Skill mechanics, with alliance match making, with crystal odds, with a whole bunch of things I and many other players jumped in to discuss and do real work to uncover what was happening. And they should look to those examples for how to do that correctly. And they should look to this example for how to fail completely.
I wouldn't say the forums and the reddit are perfect, but more often than not when someone comes along with a real issue and real evidence, the players don't dismiss it out of hand; they spend the time and the resources to investigate. I can list dozens if not hundreds of cases where players reporting issues were taken seriously. The people crying about how bad the forums are in not falling over themselves to take them seriously by in large don't present anything worth taking seriously.
What I am experiencing right now is a total shift in AI behaviour. It does really feel like I'm playing on 'expert' level throughout entire game.
Intermittent, gitchy blocking; immaculate defender dash foward to punish attacker dash back (THING almost always gets me with this one) and my favourite, AI intercepting draft back intercepts. Those three are without question the most annoying AI behaviours I experience. I've had to change my entire playstyle and rely too heavily on PARRY (which is also fast becoming an unreliable tool due to the AI's exceedingly shifty movements).
That doesn't change the fact that the ai needs to continuously improve to keep the game challenging.
*best part is you can easily math out this one due to aggression regeneration and the math checks out to simply not doing enough damage to take the defender to zero.
Some AI changes are like that: the AI itself hasn't changed, but some other element of the game has changed in a way the AI is reacting to. And in other cases the AI has changed, but not in explicit ways: the AI often does things that seem to be an emergent behavior of tweaking other knobs and dials unrelated to that behavior. But since sometimes the devs comment on changes and sometimes don't, if the players ask if the AI has changed continuously and sometimes the mods relay that the AI hasn't changed, that could be just at that moment: the AI could have changed in the past at times when Kabam was silent on those changes.
I could say more, but I would be violating a rule of mine. Suffice to say: the AI is going to change over time, and you can't actually trust Kabam when they say the AI hasn't changed. They aren't necessarily lying, but they aren't open enough about the implementation for the players to really fairly understand what they are saying about the AI.
