    @DrZola it's lights I'm getting parried on.
    Medium into the block seems fine but when I continue with lights to build up prowess is the issue

    It's an issue that's been happening for a while with champs that have a double medium, if you medium into a light, the ai will almost always parry (into the block), I know there's a way around this. Not entirely sure how.

    He's still very usable, just not going to be the best option. It's just a lot harder to manipulate ai but nothing a bit of practice and changing the way you play him won't fix.

    KT1 mentioned something about an alternative to that with WWBN in his new BGs meta video, but he didn't elaborate any and basically said your average person isn't going to pull it off without practice. Wish I knew, as Wolf is who I intend to r3 next.

    Just found out how, You've got to spam light while the double medium is going off, and you then won't get parried on any of the lights into the block. I managed to get it quite consistently in practice.

    I know that he’s still good but his use now is half complete like node 44 in war (yes I use him on any of those 3 nodes) or in any case that I don’t need to direct attack

    I forgot to say, he’s x-magic so basically you can’t earn those prowess trough blocking since this bug

    You can still get the light attacks off, I managed to find someone explaining how on discord. You’ve got to spam light attack while the double medium is going off (and for the light attack), for the light to not get parried. It takes a bit of practice but still lets you hit the block without getting parried.

    But be honest, that is more easy than solve those bugs? Would you like to play that way? I’m not

    I'm using several double medium champs in BGs like Silk, Blackcat, Wbn too. Dont have this issue. But I dont wait for the medium animation to end before tapping light, basically queing it up. Something I always did I guess.

    Yeah I've been getting parried on the 1st light attack after using medium into block with WWBN.

    Nowadays I just medium into block and back away.

    Yeah I decided to r3 him and then seems like this started happening to me all of a sudden.
    I have not had this issue before today.
    Very irritating.
