    Am i just mad cus bad? why can i sometimes react to attacks but other times cant

    Can people give me like, technical and psychological reasons for my problem, sometimes, when im playing duels, i can perfectly react (meaning block) to 500mls and 400mls attacks, but other times its completely unreactable for me, i always check their ping and its usually like mid 40s high 30s, same with my ping so i dont think its a ping issue, i do get tilted sometimes so taht could be it, im just annoyed because i can parry the **** out of nobu and shaman, but sometimes i cant even block their neutral attacks :/ please tell me im not just mad cus bad

    I feel exactly like you after an update sep. 12. Also sometimes now i see gb and light attack at the same time or don't see any indicator at all. 4v4's aren't playable for me anymore. Maybe we'll get a "hotfix" in a few weeks.

    Also-also. I don't get it how people get an advantage with higher ping. After 100ms+ player becomes some next level chosen one who can miss every chance to even parry a heavy without actually getting hit. This wasn't too big of an issue before the last patch or at least it seems to me.

    I see streamers yelling about stuff like this all the time,

    You say you eventually cant block, which would mean if your blocking, you missed your chance to Parry. If you got HIT

    Took damage, .... trying to block cant or couldnt do it ?

    Sit whole match watching this happen, along with every other bloody streamer screaming.... CHECK YOUR GUARD INDICATOR

    Thats my only wisdom and advice for this, GEESH Come On,

    Seriously its not your fault, or response times or Ping issues even.

    Its the fact your Guard Idicator, especially on newer/reworked hero's with 300-500ms lights , can literally pin your guard to black until death, on certian hero's.

    until your guard turns WHITE again, your not doing anything anyways, the game was created that way, but later readjusted through Hero Reworks, absolutly ruining some hero's, well depends on your point of view, Anyways

    If your guard turns White , you will be able to block again and possibly move around

    Has nothing to do with the patch, unless matched to one of the newer faster tweeked heros.

    You failed to mention which hero your playing, nor gave out any info on Rep Level, or level of said hero .... With that said, just check your gaurd, every hero is different and every hero has whats known in FOR HONOR as a (Recovery Time)

    Recovery Time for everything in this game, Including Block/Damage Recovery Times.

    Your Hero isnt going to move/Block/ Attack/ or Deflect UNTIL you get your guard indicator back. Most players sitting in ranked duels will know what hero has bad timings and will exploit this , if there matched up with whats known as a Free Win.

    PRovide a hero your using, im sure other community people will pickup the thread, This is combat strategy, This is also why people complain about reworks needing to happen and how some hero's are now usless. You very well could be using one of those, just tell us which one it is, lol, that sounds funny when i think about it

    Cheers and New Years
