Hey SuguruMisato,

Sorry but I don't understand what you're asking here. If there's a specific problem with guarding, pop a thread into our Technical Support forum and we'll get it looked at.

Where is the technical support forum, coz I can only see this for new paid expansion?

Also - 3 patches ago guarding has been completely broken. Reacting to attack as I have normally done since the begginging of the game - the attacks are coming thru, despite PERFECT block...

Glad need seriously a guard fixing.. on par with others assassins would be nice. His guard is so tight now that you better parry than block most attacks...

Do you have a Video of that? I rarely experience unregistering blocks for ages (basically since dedicated servers went live). What is your platform, region and latency? What is your opponents latency?

Yeah I’m not sure if it’s latency for me (might be cause I’m in Hawaii connecting to people in Cali) but when I play HL against say Orochi, Valk and other light spam potentials, I often experience inability to even block becuase I’m unable to get my guard to an opposite side before I get hit again. I’ll be holding the stick in the direction before they even start the attack on that side and he just kind of stands there if the attacks are fast. Same goes for Shugoki dodge, he doesn’t really seem to dodge anything most times. I’m not sure why. Both characters when I play them I’m having these issues but not when I play other heroes. That’s my only concern and unless they changed it I could swear dodge speeds and guard changes are standardized.

Very much this. I have the exact same experience. My latency on PC has never been above 30, 99% is ~19 and I can't block anything sometimes...

So you've not given much context but assuming you mean September's bigger patch, static guard heroes used to get an instant guardswitch after their first and that was fixed so that same as reflex guard it's 100ms between each switch, might that be part of it?

[SuguruMisato]

Dunno, might be. Switching side of incoming attacks now are in 9/10 cases unblockable... And when zerg starts his spin, Ican block the first move and get 3 of the rest coming thru... And almost immediately attacks from the opposite direction so I move the guard in thaty way, but the move still hits me... So I call it completely broken...

[SuguruMisato]

Yeah, just happened to me again. Zerg was just ****ing me up with his spin and I was holding left side as his spin is coming from left and attacks were coming thru for no reason (not final attacks that would plunge thru my low hp)... So GG Ubi...
