So, I coulda swore you guys made it to while in revenge you can't be melee attacked awhile back, welllll good job on that, then why am I still falling to uppercuts from cent while in revenge?

[DFQN1]

Because it's his ability. You also fall if he gets you with a charged uppercut when he doesn't have revenge

[pitchBlack246]

No, I know that, I'm saying while I have revenge he can make me fall, which is a load of crap cause they were supposed to take out melee having affect while in revenge

only on revenge startup. It worked some time but 2 patches ago apparently they broke it and since then revenge was very inconsistent. With the beginning of season 4 revenge felt better again, not sure though if and what they really fixed, haven't tested it with great attention yet.

Doesn't feel fixed, lol I can still be hot to the ground shield bashed shoulderbashed, and my God just two shaman continuesly head butting while someone else does damage

Of course you can get hit by melee attacks. You're not immune and you weren't ever immune to that. You are immune though if you start an attack / a gb

That's where you're wrong. It was already like that, as I said, on revenge activation startup. So shortly after you popped revenge no shugoki could embrace you for a couple of seconds. This is feature that was introduced after the PTS as one of the first changes to "patch the defensive meta" along with chip damage. In the PTS it was even that immunity against melee attacks was tested on the entire revenge duration (!). They only took a small portion of that and made it so that you had a little more room to breath after popping revenge.

And now it seems to work somewhat again. I am though pretty sure that a demon's embrace still won't bounce off. But I noticed already that Caber Toss, Shouldbash and other tackles don't have an impact on startup atm. Could be that there is a variable there too. It seemed to me that revenged heroes flicker white as to point out their hyperarmor (/ungrabability). So maybe there are some gaps in there that one can use to tackle them at the right time.

Shugoki and Shaman are the only characters who can grab through revenge hyperarmor.
