    2 things Ubisoft...

    1. Please don't withhold vital information. Lawbringer's follow up lights are undodgeable, (I'm not talking about after his shove, I mean his regular 2nd chain light) my brother and I tested this. The only exception is that you can deflect a side light if you guess which direction correctly and his follow up top light is actually undodgeable AND undeflectable. Yet this is not specified ANYWHERE in his moveset.

    2. For Honor should be called Inconsistency: The Game. For instance, half the time Nobushi's dodge heavy attack doesn't actually dodge anything, Warmonger breaking the rules of frame disadvantage/advantage while the rest of the roster obeys, Tiandi and Jang Jun dodge attack I-frames dropping and rising on the flip of a coin, the size of guardbreak hitboxes fluctuating, etc. All these problems are most prevalent and exasperated in 4v4 modes which, sadly, are the only modes you can find consistent matches in anymore. Yet from a fundamental level the Art of Battle system caters mostly to 1v1 gameplay and many core mechanics are not so applicable in 4v4s, thus inconsistencies abound.

    I don't expect anything to change honestly, I'm just venting my frustration at this point.

    I don't know for sure as I haven't fully tested it but from my experience I believe Lawbringer's follow-up lights behave as you said. As much as I have love for this game and want nothing more than it to succeed or become more important to Ubisoft (who are COMPLETELY SHORT-SIGHTED when it comes to the future of their various franchises) you bring up what is without a doubt the biggest problem with this game and most likely the reason it doesn't break out and become much more popular. And that is only being able to reliably matchmake for Dominion and the games mechanics definitely aren't suited or even developed for purely 4v4 gameplay. Which means it will never be even remotely balanced and this game will never be taken seriously and reach the level of success I believe it very well could. Just a shame...
