Animation trouble

kaithuzar · February 2019

To me, it seems like what I’m experiencing isn’t lag, but rather just the way the game is designed.

Whenever I am knocked into the air, down on the ground or CC’d in any way, it’s as though I might as well just disconnect my keyboard & trash it.

The inability to bar swap or use potions, or potentially even do other things I’m not thinking of, while being CC’d is infuriating.

What makes this worse is the fact that the animations of “getting off the ground” or standing back up or even just landing on your feet after having been knocked in the air, all take entirely too long to defend against anything else.

If you happen to be unlucky & get some type of double CC (bug or not) you’re toast.

Why was this chosen as the “right way to handle CC by the devs?”
Is it how the community thinks it should be ie “working as intended”?

Growing up, I was taught to walk & chew gum at the same time. Unfortunately, asking this of my character seems too much.

I'm going to assume this is a trolling post, but in the case it is not.... Have you ever heard of CC Break?

... your not supposed to be able to bar swap or use a potion while you are CCed, a CC is used to help secure a kill, and if you react fast with CC break you can break free almost instantly.

This seems like a L2P ( learn to play) issue

1) Sometimes it won’t let you break free
2) Sometimes desync between stats exist
3) Sometimes immunity doesn’t work
4) Sometimes the animation has to finish before you’re allowed to break free
5) Sometimes you get into an almost perma-like cc state by being cc chained
6) Sometimes you are slowed & then get cc’d or vice versa
7) Sometimes pots or abilities don’t go off even when pressing the button prior to being cc’d (such as immovability pots)
8) Sometimes what you see on your screen & what everyone else sees is completely different (he’s lying on the ground but he just killed me????)

Lots of stuff to look at “hint hint **opportunities to improve the game***,
I think if data could be compressed better & travel faster it would help a ton.
Travel faster would mean maybe optimization around the type of data that gets sent & the frequency.

Again, my question is “is the current method for the way being cc’d is handled in this game the right one, or are there other options?
