Feb Update BREAKS Void Blade (video)

Bug Reports Bug Reports

This happened SO many times yesterday. Pretty sure it has to do with the input que system. The only thing that seemed to help is to slow down my keypresses dramatically (which seems counter-intuitive to any game).

Oh…and not included in the video, casting Void Blade now SNARES you for 2 seconds, just like all other casted abilities. Void Blade already struggled with mobility, this just made it worse and forces you to dodge cancel after casting Void Blade (which also adds to the likelyhood of this bug shown below).

Also not captured, when this bug happens sometimes it will fire projectiles, then your blade turns back on, then it turns off, then back on.

This guy has some of those moments captured here:

This. It really kills the mobility of people playing the VG as a magical melee weapon. This is on top of the Void Blade deactivation and failed attachment glitches.

Oh, and the weird queueing issues with Orb.

Thanks for posting this, glad it isn’t just me. Ironic, weapon swap feels great but voidblade somehow got way worse. Time to sheath the voidblade for now and move on to greener pastures.

I’m having the same exact problem as in the videos.
Thought i was imagining it, but other void blade users have the same problem.

+1 to this issue, the void blade appears to be completely broken since Feb patch. Can’t get it to work for the simplest fights

100% - already no gap closers and can’t swap to a gap closer than back to VB because of its CD either.

Hello guys,

We have to talk about this snare/slow-down when you active the blade.
@Luxendra : Was it in the patchnote ? i havn’t seen it.

The biggest problem is that it completely breaks the dynamic of a melee weapon slowing you down even as you run after an enemy… Please guys, you already nerf/broke the vg orb, not the blade please.
