Input issues: block/parry

Has anyone else noticed input issues with the game, specifically block/parry? I am trying to figure out if it is my phone or the game. Very frequently I am pressing block and just getting clapped. One thing I have noticed is when I normally would tap my phone for a party seems too late and that I have to do it earlier now to be successful.

I used to have to kill the game after 30 min or so of arena, now it's a few fights.
Regarding input issues, I get regularly slapped in the face because of missed parries, dex not happening, AI way faster than my swipes, etc. But that's been years at this point.
