Devs need to fix this bug ASAP ! | Forums

[The.Witness.]

Funny stupid b*tches think it's funny to abuse a glitch by using gladiator and deflecting a friendly attack, leading to an impossible to counter (or dodge) follow up if it's close enough.
Unfair ganking mechanic and glitch abusers.
Devs need to fix this bug asap!
And btw, I'll be glad to report the names of those abusing that glitch if devs wanna take action for cheating.

You can dodge a gladiators deflect off of their friendlies attacks. When you see him deflect, dodge before he throws out the skewer.

All heavies with superior lights and some of the characters with counter crushes (some heroes counter crushes and deflects will go at the person who threw the attack not the person they are locked onto) can be parried or dodged. I am pretty sure all heroes in the game that can counter crush off of a friendly and basically give the enemy they are locked onto a 500ms light that is unblock-able and does 20-40 damage.

Is it a bug? I have to doubt it at this point, it could just be an oversight in game design but they have never addressed it as a bug. It is also surprisingly hard to pull off and by consequence is rare and usually accidental so i cannot see it being a massive issue that is comparable to blatant cheating and greifing

You've been able to deflect/Superior block/crushing counter ally attacks for ages now. It's not exclusive to Glad. The odds of you actually running into someone who can pull off that competent level of ganking in MM is extremely slim AND there's counter play to it. I don't see the issue.
