Medium Strike Buff Should be Applied to Special Attacks

The 19.1 update buffed certain champions' medium strike jump kick. Wolverine/Deadpool/Gamora/Spider-Man and others now finish combos with a fast 2nd medium strike much faster. Can MCOC developers apply this same change to special attacks? This change could fix the nearly year-long bug many champions have had with their special attacks being parried/blocked mid-combo.

Ummmmm the super floaty jumpkick makes it impossible to finish a combo and dodge back... it’s kinda awful

@Hammerbro_64 Yes that's why it was buffed. My OP asks for the same thing to be done to special 1 and special 2 attacks.

Buffed means gets better. Nerf means it got worse. Do u mean nerf, cause it’s only a buff for kabam’s profits to have that floaty kick

They went from floaty kick to fast kick. Bad to good. Buffed. Except for Daredevil, he's too OP to get the fast kick.

You can dodge back like before but now the specials are easier to connect

@Helicopter_dugdugdug I disagree. I've had Hyperion's sp2 blocked mid-combo recently, that's never happened before. Hiring game developers to add code that contradicts pre-existing code could be responsible for this and other issues, Reddit is full of posts from accomplished game developers that describe this among other things as possible reasons for long-standing bugs.

My suggestion was to speed up special attack animations the same way many champions' 2nd medium strike/jump kick animation were recently sped up. That could help prevent special attacks from being blocked mid-combo when they should connect without issues.
