Is anyone having problems connecting on intercepts?

I can’t figure out if I’m just playing poorly lately or if there is a problem here. Particularly I’m talking about when opponent charges you and you go to intercept.

Yes...I just got wrecked against a jugs boss in war. Im more then proficient in intercepting and usually am the boss killer in my bg.

Something has changed and it’s not me

I would really like to hear more from people. Three times last night using gr, I went for an intercept and got destroyed in 5.3.6. I thought I was just having a bad night. Then it happened once or twice today (the last time it was loki against dormamu in arena) so I thought I would ask.

They were messing with **** to try to stall out intercepting

Has happened with me as well. Went for an intercept. Was 100% sure I would intercept the dash. Got my ass kicked instead

There’s been an issue with intercept parry timing since 15.0 was released

Not as bad as it has been since Wednesday

Well that’s different that’s after using a special.

They are taking away all ways to get an in on the ai while simultaneously allowing for the player to take more blocking damage.

Kabam you can’t have it both ways

How does intercepting work anyway? How does the game determine who is awarded the hit? Always wondered.

The shorter dash wins, and yes it's off

It is based off of who rushes forward second. The AI seems to have changed to now hesitate for a split second so that they are able to rush forward after you start your attack and catch you.

Yes it happens with me too since then i have stopped doing intercepting and now only depend on parry attack strategy

Good stuff to know. Thanks

So mike admits they are “working towards” beta testing. So all the times that announcements have said it’s been used are BS. This company is nothing but lies

Bostonjedi

And still nothing from mods smh

Bostonjedi

Why were we told that starting after 12.0 there was a beta test in place and now mike says they are “working towards it” can you please quit lying to us

Well screenshots of him saying that are making their way around so it’s out there

NMEONES

To be fair, Mike did say in that same post they are working on a brand NEW beta system... this could be to replace the beta system they have in place right now.

Don't get me wrong, IF they do have people beta testing these updates and new features, they are doing a pitiful job at it.

Bostonjedi

They said the beta system went into effect after 12.0 and no proof was ever given..all they do when asked is delete posts

Bostonjedi

Still no answer

Bostonjedi

Unbelievable

Wafflesallday

My **** has just been lagging constantly, missing everything from combos to intercepts.

Bostonjedi

Still no answer about lying to us about beta testing

Every time I swipe back, I'm unable to light or medium attack to follow, character just stands there and gets combo'd into oblivion.
