Dodge Rolling on console

Don't know if that is an issue many people come across, but I play on ps4, and when I dodge roll, my character blocks for a full second after exiting the dodge roll. This breaks my speed, and it ends up killing all of my stamina, resulting in my death, all because I tried to make use of a mechanic that should theoretically help me escape. Anyone else run into this issue? It's honestly the main thing that has been haunting me since launch.

    I complained about it during PS4 beta. Same thing still happens to me 95% of the time when I dodge roll. I suggested changing sensitivity so that people have to hold the button to come out into a block. Only response to my complaint in the beta forum was another tester saying there wasn't a problem so you can probably thank them for it still not being fixed.

    My friend please enlighten me on how I can do this... I don't know if it will completely fix my problem, but it just might help.

    Sorry only just saw you responded. I was saying what I suggested ZOS should do. As far as what we can do I have tested it a few times and I can't find anything I can do to fix it in terms of pressure applied to the buttons.

    I use a controller on PC and use the Block+Jump binding for roll dodge. If they are tapped in rapid enough succession, the block does not register. I even come out of the roll dodge with weapons still sheathed if tapped fast enough. On the contrary, holding block a little too long will queue it for after the dodge roll.

    I have to mention which platform I am on since the coding may be different, making what I can do on PC impossible on console. Either way, try speeding up your button presses and it may solve your issue. Roll dodging with weapons sheathed is a perfect test condition since you will come out with weapons still sheathed if done correctly.

    I've tried that as well, and the frequency of when it works and when it doesn't is not reliable at best... Of course human nature gets in the way of me always pressing the buttons at the same speed but I try to the best of my capacity. Some times it works, I try with the weapon sheathed like you said, but it is not reliable at all... And like I said, if it happens in pvp I end up blocking aoes from all over and my stamina dies because of it.

    Would it be too much to hope for if I asked for a new button mapping in the controller? Just anything that switched roll dodging to a single button instead of two pressed at the same time.

    I don't have this issue at all when dodge rolling the button could have something going on with it maybe debris inside or sticking for a split second. I've used 3 different controllers and haven't had this happen to me

    And I've switched my controller twice in the course of playing this game, happened with all of them...

    I honestly would love to at least know why this is happening so I can fix it, if zos doesn't remedy this with something like more ways to map the controller or something like that. I know it's not my controller because it works fine with other games, aiming in metal gear for example is fine and responsive, this only happens in eso. I also tested it with multiple controllers, all not good.

    For a guy who enjoys playing stamina builds this is getting really annoying...

    Maybe you can change the keybind to....oh wait you can only do that on the PC.

    Yuuuuup....... Console woes..... Still, is more mapping options too much to ask? On ps4 I can remap single buttons but there's no way to remap a double button press. If I could get dodge roll on X and jump on Left Trigger + X for example as a mapping option my problem would be fixed...

    You can map on ps4 it's in the options on the console it might not be 1 button dodge roll but you can readjust your layout to see if that helps

    You can only map single buttons though, like how I swap my sneak and my weapon swap so I can weapon swap mid combo without taking my thumb from my left analog or my index from my left trigger. But since roll dodge requires you to press two buttons at once, the ps4 mapping can't fix that unfortunately...
