Hitting into block being countered by specials. [Merged Threads]

As I'm hitting into Groot's block intending to do a MLLLM combo, my first L connects, but my second one whifs ( so M-L-Whif) and I take five hits. later that same fight I throw a SP2 while Groot is against the wall and the last hit somehow missed and I'm countered by his sp1 seemingly before my SP animation ended.
One of the unspoken rules of any game is that the AI has to behave in a fair manner.
If we hit into an enemy's block and they either dex out of it and counter with a combo or use a special attack, this breaks this rule.
It's no different than having a random chance of dying at the start of every fight for no apparent reason.
On a plus note If they got rid of block lock we would never have to read another annoying Domino is breaking blocks thread again as people who dont realize there trying to Dex out of her combos could finally get away with it.
Not only can we NOT do this any more, but now the AI can! And they can counter with a combo! And they can also launch specials while we punch into their blocks, which we can't and have never been able to do!
This is sabotage at best! They're undermining basic principles of fair game and turning it into a cheap insulting money grab.
And no, we won't settle for being allowed the same mechanic because having it enabled for the AI is a giant detriment to us.
So are we never able to punch into an opponents blocks anymore without being punished for it? NOT FAIR! This is disgraceful treatment from the developer.
My question is..... is this an intentional chamge to the AI? Can someone from the game team PLEASE come forward and let us know the answer to this very simple question? All the players want is clarity and good communication from the dev team. Not asking for much.
Thanks
You said it, we are playing a different rule set that what the AI is doing.
They can do stuff that we can't do.
That means the AI is in fact exploiting this in the game.
So, Kabam should do the same punishment for people taking advantage of exploits... Ban the AI!
It sure seems like Kabam wants to keep it like this since it generates more revenue for them while they "investigate" this.
There is no solid feedback from Kabam, even though they promised to be more open about all these things. Depressing really.
This isn't normal at all. Are we never ever allowed to hit into the AI's block anymore? Getting dexed or hit with specials like this has never been part of the game.

My Void against Medusa.
Medusa is already a tough defender, partially because she tends to not be as liberal with throwing specials as other champs. This means that hitting into her block is a MUST in order to keep from getting pinned in the corner.
She is made dramatically harder when you are unable to hit into her block when she has a bar of power. And in War, 1 special can easily kill your champ. There is no chance for recovery from this bug.
Please fix it.
I guess whatever tinkering that has been going on, finally comes back to bite the tinkerers in the foot. Because all I hear lately is complaints and all I see is players either quitting, dropping down significantly or going solo. It’s just not sustainable anymore. Nor is it fun.
Good luck fixing it. Make it fast.
This was listed as a known bug in April, with an expected fix in 23.0.1. But it was clearly not fixed, and also didn't make it to the updated May known bugs (and thanks to the team for being more diligent updating it).
Can you confirm, and add this back to the current known bugs, to create some visibilty and add some positivity to this thread? Or altenatively tell us its working as intended so people can react accordingly.
Stop ignoring this and change it back.
There is no point in playing a game that makes you angry instead of enjoying.
You are losing your best and soon enough you will lose the remaining...
And those cash players that you are counting on when they don't find people to show off with their might, they also will follow and leave.
