Optimus Primal "Sticky Feet"

I've asked other Alliance members if they are experiencing the same thing, and they are...
Optimus Primal has "sticky feet" when you try to sidestep with him, meaning the input doesn't register, and he just stands there.
It happens most often in the following scenarios:
Double Sidestepping in the same direction, the 2nd sidestep will often not register.
Attempting to sidestep a dash attack after a missed basic ranged shot.
Both these scenarios will often trigger the sticky feet problem. It's easy to replicate, just fight anything with a high difficulty where you have to be constantly moving. Without a doubt you will experience this bug.
Please look into it so it can be corrected on the upcoming update... This is a bot players really want to use, and it is not functioning properly.
I have submitted a bug report through the support page as well.

If it's an issue across other bots in all game modes then clearly it is a much larger problem than I thought.
I just noticed it today as I was trying out a beast synergy squad in AM. Primal got stuck on every bot in section 1, luckily I still won those fights but I could have easily got away with near perfect victories.
I input too fast trying to queue commands and the animation is not catching up to the commands, the sidestep command sometimes skips, if I input a command after an animation of previous command finishes, it wont have this problem.
You could test this on Primal and sort of feel it
1. tap very fast to fire full chain of ranged and sidestep:
tap->tap->tap->tap->tap->downswipe
2. tap not so rapidly and sidestep:
tap tap tap downsipe
Good eye.
Yep, I noticed this too, was just coming here to report. you have to wait a split second longer than other bots to sidestep multiple times, or after a series of inputs like you described.
The moment his front foot finishes moving/animation completes is when you can sidestep again without problem. It's like 1/10th of a second longer than any other bot in the game, but it's enough to screw you up if you aren't aware of it and in a tough battle.
I've learned to adapt, but it shouldn't be like this. Needs to be adjusted to move like all other bots.
Had Barricade dead to Rights in AM, launched s2 and it passed through him like he wasn't even there. Resulting s2 retaliation by Barricade resulted in a KO.
Manthro is not amused.
This is really bad.
Since 5.1 there’s been issues with control.
For example, pressing down heavy attack sometimes does nothing, leaving me standing there to get hit.
But Primal is exceptionally bad. Really unresponsive to side stepping. Considering this game relies heavily on the ability to sidestep in harder fights, this... doesn’t... it’s not good...
If you you spam sidestep way too fast he still blocks for a split second, but at least he doesn't stand there like a pylon anymore. Working well enough to reliably dodge IH S2 instead of having to block, so I say the issue has been resolved.
