i'd like some insight on this unannounced change too. Tbh, if it's april's fool's joke, it's a not funny one.
Looks like it’s just a clarification of the bleed that’s placed on the champion. Just clarifying that it’s a debuff so it can be shrugged off, converted, etc. What’s the issue? The 30% health?

I thought Rank 3 Double Edge was 30% health for 30% attack boost

@Kabam Miike or whoever bothers to read this thread.
When were you gonna mention that you changed the “Nightcrawler stance switch”? Because if that was something you didn’t like it should’ve been said. Just moving the goal posts once again by making unnecessary, unnanounced changes.

It the ai all act totalt defrind what we use to. And yes ruid the bc trick

(Assuming I’m reading what you meant to write)
I know it’s a change to how the AI acts, but they should still tell us these things (or better yet, don’t touch what isn’t broken) not act like we are all thick as pig **** and wont notice.

Yes and that is the bug

The timing of my combos is all sorts of messed up again.

I'm getting an increase of either dropped inputs or just no response from be tapping the screen to initiate a light or medium this leaving me wide open for counter attacks

Me to , lots of timing issues and dropped block, also had to delete and reinstall game because it took to the beginners screen

Mitchell35

All I want is Kabam Thrillson to actually be a mod

Rotelly

Maybe less time on April 1st jokes and more time on release QA

Swole_Team_Six

I like the new layout when you go to look at your defender kills and how it shows the nodes your defenders are placed on. Looks really nice. Thanks!

hellion_3

Just installed the update now the game is slow and parry timing is way off

Straight up agree!
New update is Garbage 😡 frame rate issues, unresponsive controls. AI recovery time is incredible, I've been punishing sentinel S1 in AQ since they introduced them. This is the first time they've been able to intercept me as I attack in after evade.

R4GE

I have had champs hit me as I am punching into their block, hit me during my combo, and even dex out of a combo.

Crys23

Can we please have some clarity on this? What sort of timing? Which champs will be most likely affected?? And why?

It will affect All Champions, but not in a negative fashion! This update should bring all devices in line with each other, so there are less inconsistencies in abilities and controls activating (ie. Parry timing, etc.). For the most part, this shouldn't really change anything for users on Newer/High end devices, but will make the game more consistent for players on older devices.

It has made things worse. Can't chain specials into combo's, parry is off, and there's lag too now.
You also ruined Void somehow, you made him sparkle. I think you increased the special effects for a lot of champions and that causes performance issues.
We don't need flashy things just good game play. You are ruining the game again.

Starhawk

I'm just waiting for an update that buffs Yondu so that his SP3 literally steals units. Just read his All Attacks bio and you will know what i'm partially referring to (that and the crazy nodes that seems to have become common place). Sounds like another uncollected I wont' do 100%

Badrose

The game is SLOOOOW!

chaos3430

Quake isn't responding fast enough between heavies and dexterity and is getting caught like there is a second drag.

666freak666

Lags, timing, unresponsive commands... Great update overall, you guys surpassed your prior updates inefficiencies... Always doing worse, don't stop guys...

There's a growing list of all the champions it has negatively affected.

A minor complaint in addition to the above is that the game now defaults back to Global every time you start it. The game used to default to the last room you were in when you closed the game. If that room were gone (i.e. after AW/AQ ends), it would default to Alliance chat.

Global is the worst. Constantly flooded with bots and trolls.

Just have to be extra careful that these idiots don't post spoilers with the upcoming Endgame movie...

I thought it should be 30% extra attack for Double Edge too, but it's fine:

Liquid Courage is 30%, not DE.

Literally every champ I have used is significantly slower and the timing for all controls (parry, dashes, combos, intercepts, etc) is off. Game plays a lot differently.

We've had to re-learn how to use all of these mechanics with almost every update, but this is by far the most substantial change to the controls in recent memory.

The game play just sucks now.

Munrolm02

Omg this update has officially destroyed the game. Not being able to punish people second specials, people missing when they throw their first shot at the beginning of a fight. Domino Nerf incinerate isn't scaling with Red Hulk. You literally throw punches and it misses like everyone has turned into ghost. And now they're going to release this new character that when you dash back he goes unblockable LOL every single character that comes out seems to have some sort of unblockable that's the only way this company feels they're making characters unique? It's the same thing over and over and now the new version has so much lag this game is next to impossible to play especially if any of these War Global defense tactics go live. I literally watched my previous Alliance all hang up the game after beta and gifting removal everyone's just quitting. Looks like I'm next to leave this terrible game is this update doesn't get fixed

There’s so many things wrong with this update, delay it until you have to do it.

Were you not aware this is the new game mechanic?

First we had Unstoppable. Then we went to Unblockable. Finally, we have arrived at Impossible.

Working as intended.

I already did and its crashing crazy
