Once upon a time... there was parry

Which has reached its lowest as of 14.0.

Not even story and arena now.

Can we have sone attention? Been going worse and worse in the last 2 months, and im sick of having the "parry" text pop up when the opponent is all but stunned. Its borderline trolling as muchbas getting hit when dexterity activates.

    It's not the Parry itself. It's the timing of our controls against opponents. They're out of sync.

    The text pops up as Parry, but opponent is not stunned
    Ant it's not like its due to ranged attack like yondu
    Clearly melee attack that you parried, with words popping up, but no stun
    Rare, but does happen sometimes

    That all depends on the Champ that you're fighting. Champs like BW and CB shrug off Parry. It will show Parry, but the Stun won't take effect. Unless there's something I haven't seen.

    Bw ability doesnt show parry, counts just as a blocked hit. Same for all other champs with ability reduction or new champs.

    When it shows but doesnt stun its a bug.

    And i ahree eith whoever wrote about timings, they are so delayed you have to go borderline eating a punch expecially in aq

    That was me who wrote about timings. Lol. I'll have to double-check. Some Champs show Parry but don't Stun. I swore BW and CB show Parry but keep fighting through it. In any case, could be a bug.

    I find it irritating when you parry there special buy it does nothing. Can't they just make it so the writing doesn't appear on the screen and annoy me.

    That's just false. Parry shows whenever a parry occurs, however stun won't apply if another mechanic prevents the stun.

    Yeah, Rocket's right, if you parry somebody who reduces ability accuracy they'll sometimes ignore the stun part of parry, but never the damage reduction, and parry will always pop up on your side.

    Parry is horrible now. Ever since 14.0 it's been bad for me.

    Not a bug she negates parry based on sig level. Mags does same vs metal opponents.

    Parry is the worst its ever been for me.
    And have u noticed that if u hold block then release, it will then be impossible to parry in the next 2 seconds or so?
    It's as if there's a hidden timer that won't allow a parry shortly after blocking.

    Block is also in the same boat as parrying. Works whenever it feels like. I get smacked in the chin through my blocks all the time now.

    Idk what is goin on with the mechanics of this game in 14.0...but I do know that it's time for me to take a break to avoid some of this frustration.

    Then why do I parry NC, it says parry, and NC isn't stun ??
    That happened in arena before you start talking about immune stun nodes

    Might have been the assassin mastery, if you were low on HP.

    If not, then I don't know.

    It happened twice, once was at the beginning of the fight so no related to assassin mastery.
    The other one I was low on hp yes, so it might be that

    I find parry to be working the best it has since 12.0. I personally wonder if challenge rating lowers ability accuracy as well but I think that parry seems fine at the moment.

    My parry seems okay, party's most of the time lol

    Totally agree. It's also 2 separate parry issues.

    We've all played this game enough for 2 years, now all of a sudden we don't know our parry timings? Maybe some days they work, maybe some content, but something is off. I believe a lot of it is the lag. Added to this, AQ is much more laggy and jittery, sounds are delayed. Hence, parry timings are off.

    The second is the parry text pop up/failure. I see this daily. The fact that it's not just me is relieving. But haven't really tried figuring it out, besides it being a bug. Only thing I can think of is challenger rating BS. I'm still unclear about what advantages besides lowering crit %. Does this have to do with a 4* vs 5* and seeing a parry text pop up but no stun? I've even seen my OG cap have an enemy with fatigue, and still seen a ghost parry text pop up. So the increase in stun when fatigue, still didn't get the parry, only a text

    Can women from Kabam please explain this?

    Just saw this lol. The fact that we don't know EXACTLY what challenger rating does, makes the whole system an issue. I'm wondering the same thing since most of my good champs are 4*s, I see this issue a lot

    Seeing it quite often AQ Expert Tier and Higher Tier AW. Parry pops up on the screen against foes and they are not parried.

    This is not against CB, Rogue or people who can shrug it off.
