Sinister post SP3 unresponsive to heavy charging

Originally the bug was that following the SP3, Sinister (and actually every champion) was doing some dash medium following the SP3, so Kabam attempted a fix
The fix caused no heavy attack to be activated for 1.5 seconds or so following the SP3 animation.
Sinister relies on his ability to charge his heavy to pause the debuff. Prior to the sp3, you inflict a parry/stun on the opponent, activate the sp3 after contact from releasing the heavy, and charge a heavy coming out of the sp3 to extend the parry/stun and maximize the soul leech.
Now, after the update Sinister is unresponsive to charging the heavy after the sp3 animation and just stands there.
Please investigate and fix the issue
Thanks again

This problem occurs on all champions exiting SP3 animation
If the opponent (defender) is in a parry/stunned state and the debuff is still on them when they exit the SP3 animation then the attacker is unresponsive to a heavy control/charge.
If the opponent (defender) is NOT in a parry/stunned state and there is no parry/stun debuff then the attacker CAN heavy attack/charge.
The debuff exiting the SP3 causes the attacker to not be able to charge a heavy
In the case of Sinister, it is critical that he can do this.
Thanks for the quick response.

Is this working as intended? Let me try to replicate this and get back to you with a video.
Also, it’s him being unresponsive. I don’t know how else to explain it. The video will just have him standing there while I try to effect a heavy charge.
Here’s a link to Sinister not responding to heavy charging after SP3
Thanks for trying to fix this. It literally ruins him the way he is now.
When there is no stun/parry debuff, you CAN charge a heavy coming out of the SP3
But it’s a moot point without the stun
I’m still submitting tickets for this issue, and there has been complete silence on the other end. Any information would help give us an idea not just for this bug but for as many as possible.

Hopefully it’s fixed in the next update

Video is in that thread
Cheers
At these the only bug fixes. I desperately need my champ to work and hope that there is more than this list. It’s debilitating to be honest as other summoners have their champs working as intended.
Regarding the OP, it’s not on the 11JUL updates. Was wondering if this was in consideration for a fix in the next update.
Thanks
It’s all champs still but affects him to the point that he’s debilitated
