Melee 2.0: Blocking Knockdown?

[Twilight053]

I was excited when I saw the preview of Melee 2.0 at the recent livestream, I was all amazed with the combos, energy channeling, the cool animations, the depth there is to melee and I'm really looking forward to try it out. But if knockdowns still can't be blocked, it's going to be very unintuitive of us to go full-melee.

 

I know it's not released yet, but I really hope Melee 2.0 will introduce knockdown parrying or the likes, it really needs it.

You mean like blocking the stompy moa's little radial knock down thing? I do hope that is a thing because...yeah.

Yes times a thousand! A well timed last minute block should be able to counter knockdown from any source.

ONCE AGAIN

Indeed, but it should also have it limits so players won't be able to continuously block KD forever. A reasonable stamina cost is essential to balance for this, so that when you run out of it you won't be able to block KD anymore.

I think it was sure footed and fortitude; if you max both you get an 80% knockdown resistance

you can simply jump to avoid that. The talk is more about heavy grineer guys and ancients.

If I am not wrong, I recall Scott saying during the stream that there was a new mod to avoid knockdowns while blocking, not 100% sure though.

Not another mod >:(

 

Too many mods 

[Oriviagene]

Use any skill,with the right timing u should be able to resist KD

They could start by allowing players to jump over Grineer Heavy ground pounds.

 

Seriously. The fact that they haven't changed anything about it is baffling; it adds literally nothing to gameplay.

Change Grinner knockdown into wave similar to Moa's, problem solved.

If you do a dodge at the right moment it seems to negate knockdowns and staggers now, not sure how long that was added. Also as mentioned above, activating most skills can negate them as well.

We were expecting some sort of real "block" rather than exploit, y'know.
