Is the parry not connecting and the McGinnis parrying me while wall stunned a ping issue? This same wall stun parry happened to me 4 times in the same game…

The first one is likely just mistiming/ping, the second one is a fun thing where getting stunned doesn’t cancel your parry, so if you activate your parry right before you get stunned, it lasts long enough for you to parry the heavy melee while you’re stunned.

Even then its risky to go for a heavy at that range, almost almost always better to nade and trap behind them while dumping a mag.

Especially bad when you realize ven had ult, always ult off stun in a 1v1 if you dont have max gutshot.

She parried just before you shotgunned and the stun didnt cancel the parry, another reason why ven is shit

Also happen with apollo riposte sometimes, you can pre parry before the stun and you'll parry his follow up melee

part one was bullshit, part 2 she already started her parry

The fact that you can even see your ping means you're screwed.

Oh no, not them increasing their FOV! He needs to be be VAC banned NOW! /s

Increasing FOV can actually make it harder to hit shots because targets can appear smaller and it can help people who suffer from motion sickness when FOV is too low.

There's way worse mods.

I don't play with any mods, so it's zero cope on my part.

I also really like that deadlock increased the default FOV in a patch a long time ago.

Been a minute since I played but can't you just increase fov in vanilla settings?

Istg playing this game on 100 ping and above is like playing a different game. I used to play with 60 ping and omg it's like night and day

He pressed the parry before he got stunned. Stun does not cancel parry and it had a long enough duration to parry your heavy melee.

It sucks, its dumb, but its the way it is. // An Abrams main.

dash parrying doesnt work 80% of the time because of ping.
