I've seen more and more successful dodging of his heavy. I paid attention to his heavy animation and found there are only 2 shots (instead of 3) now.
Anyone can confirm this?

I tried myself, just wait for the first shot to drop then sidestep, it's reliable. So on the upside we as players get more benefit fighting Soundwave (like map3 miniboss with Focus Power Gain). AI still eats a lot of his heavies.
But @Kabam Miike , this violates rule number 1 of telling us everything you nerf, doesn't it?
Seems this could affect his use against focused frenzy.
This ^
I've been sidestepping Soundwave's heavy attack for months now. It's not easy to do, but it can be done. I have maybe a 30% success rate and only really attempt it when I'm cornered.
It was never impossible to do so.
Anecdotally, I do have the computer bots dodging my heavies a lot more often now days than just a little while ago. Not sure if it’s because Soundwave’s heavy was tweaked or if the bot AI’s have been to better dodge these.
My animation is still 3 shots. Look at the ground, and you'll still see 3 points of contact when he heavies. Maybe only two shots visually come out of laserbeak, but the 3 hits are still touching the ground.
I was using an iPad as well and also noticed just 2 shots (2 little circle things on the ground). I haven't checked today though.
Exactly my thoughts. He is still one of the best bots in the game. But I do notice something going on.
Actually no his attacks are now dumb AI dodge easily
However, regardless of the number of shots in the heavy, the computer is dodging it a lot more. I would see it maybe once every other week. Now I’m seeing it everyday. And Soundwave is my main guy so I use him a lot.
