    Exploiting teammate deflects

    I was recently a game of dominion and i ran into a group of 4 who would go round in pairs to use a (i assume) new exploit to make it impossible to fight back, this would involve one of them throwing an attack which would miss on purpose, then the other person would 'deflect' this attack and use the deflect on me (for example: berserker's guaranteed guardbreak meaning i have no way to counterplay it). this immediately became extremely frustrating because it would give me no way to fight back as the deflects are guaranteed, i was just wondering if we could get some clarification on whether this is intentional or if it a bug? because it makes 4v4 much less enjoyable of there is an unbeatable tactic ruining every fight.

    I don't think you can counter guardbreak berserker deflects since it's guaranteed
    that needs to be patched out pretty sure deflects were not intended to be abused like that.

    and I'm sure the ID of this Berserker who did this to you begin with '' ant '', he's in the top 100 Grandmaster, keep you alive at the end of the game because he find this funny and always with his crew to exploit teammate deflect. A lot of thing need to be fixed, teammate deflect for sure, teammate Superior block, attacking your teammate to cancel revenge takedown and more. So, I can only agree with you, it ruin every fight.

    You can't and it catches you over a long distance. The Berserk deflect is insane and he can do it infinitely with a teammate, you will never be able to counter guard break.

    They do this teammate deflect on high level dom or breach. Annoying as hell, they catch my pk like that also and even with glad skewer. Homever is not easy they must be really coordinated, I found my zone to be useful against them to interrupt but not much else.
