Homing dash attack from the AI

Seems that sometimes you can’t dodge the AI’s dash attack. Here I initiate a dodge in the middle of the attack, but still get pummeled.
I also have clips of my doing a dodge earlier in the attack with the same result. Most of the time I successfully dodge it, but every so often, this 👆

Grindor just seems to me in that when he dashes from far across the screen you frequently can't sidestep out of the way even when you actually do.
scout bee is similar
That doesn’t make any sense.
Let me clarify, it means one of these things:
You have less time to dodge.
The AI is moving obscenely fast.
Both of these are likely. So just pick whatever reason you like.
Maybe my sidestep could be delayed a fraction of a second but Drift clearly dashed first before Tronus started has sidestep.
I guess maybe the question is, when does the aim portion of the dash occur?
In your own words Drift dashed forward first before you side stepped
Less time to dodge? I’m sidestepping in the middle of the dash. When is the time to dodge? Not to mention that I would say 9 times out of 10 I would be successful in dodging the dash. And what Mutantdoc said about response time... the AI is in the middle of a dash attack, they’re not supposed to be able to respond to anything other than launching a special.
Here’s a capture of me dodging mid AI dash
Are you arguing in favor of JKL? Drift dashed forward before he sidestepped, that’s what JKL is saying. He’s already dashing when he dodged and shouldn’t get hit.
So it’s in a sense like this - If you throw a rock at someone and they sidestep, your throw will miss. If they sidestep and then you throw, you can adjust your throw to where they moved to.
However, I say even if it’s milliseconds close, the bots shouldn’t be able to adjust that quickly. To make it fair... wait a minute, this is Kabam we’re talking about.
Anyways, in this capture:
You can see Drift in his dash attack and where Megatronus is on the battle field. Then mid dash, it curves to Megatronus’ new spot. That curve should not be possible.
time and time again i cannot double backstep fast enough to avoid cheetor's reach, whatsup with that?!
Wow, that’s one of the worst ones I’ve seen.
Wow. That’s def the worst case of this I’ve ever seen. At one point I swear Primal looks like his turned to his right in preparation to watch Bee sail by. What’s crazy to me is the varied mix of bot combinations where this happens. Some swear it’s this bot and another player will say for me it’s always these bots.
Alright, one more. The sequence was clear. Bee dashed THEN Tronus sidestepped and Bee still kicked him.
Gone home for the day. Come back tomorrow
lol.. you missed again
forgot my gif for you.
I could be wrong. Please tell me.
Felt that about Grim and MTM as well but I’m not 100% sure
and of course, cheetor, sometimes even double backstep is not enough... smh
