basically it's used to negate mix ups now that you'd normally respond to with a roll. allowing you to avoid and potentially punish.
I still think sweep needs to be better. But after seeing this i'd be fine with shield tackle staying as is.

Wow nice, its like hidden stance with easier timing and spacing. But with a bit less options out of it I guess?

Thanks for posting this. Does Valkyrie not suffer a delay after blocking or getting like the rest of the cast? On the characters I play I know I can't just back bash as soon as I block or get hit. There's usually a delay, kind of like a stun lock effect.

Actually a note not in the patch notes is now static guard heros can dodge after being hit/switch their guard. They still can't attack or GB after switching. but they can dodge.

Ah, cool. No more being frozen in place by guard switching.

I'm much too dickish to be a community rep. But I appreciate the thought.

Yup. This change also lets you escape shamans hit confirm into unblockable side heavy by back dashing on any hero. the back dash avoids the unblockable and the GB. if she knows you're going to back dash she can cancel into forward dash for pounce to punish you though.

That could be easily fixed by making a bit of an effort on your part, and you are all set hehe
