Cannot block cancel some skills anymore

Reyleigh

So i thought block changes weren't supposed to do this, but i can't cancel a few skills like shields and overload....
Is this intended or part of this glitchy af update ?

Yes you can.

I believe the animation of the attack goes through fully now. But you can still block cancel. Just it will be happening same time as the attack animation. It was in the patch notes. Hope I explained it correctly

No you didn't
If the animation of the skills goes fully then you didn't block cancel it

I guess the next step is erasing animation canceling all together, its happening bois !!!

You could still block where you would normally see the animation stop. Just this time, the animation fully goes through now while blocking.

Sorry but thats false
At least for shields (and boundless too) the blocking only happens after animation is over

idk

Actually, most of the AC before the patch was an illusion caused by client desync. It will just take some time to adjust to a server controlled animation of block vs client control animation. The timing of the skills was still server-side. Gilliam created a video demonstrating and explaining how the old client-side animations were out of sync with what was actually happening and how the new server-side animation worked.

Meteor can no long be block casted as well. If you attempt to, the ult wont fire.

There was a problem where it would show you blocking but attacks would land. This is because you aren’t actually blocking until the server acknowledges it.

So, what WAS happening was your screen was displaying you blocking too early.

Now what is happening is your screen does not display you blocking until your block command reaches the server and the server’s acknowledgment reply arrives back to your system.

So no more intentional status desynchronization caused by you block cancelling.
