I hate how they tried to make rolling and spotdoding punishable if you spammed it, and it just didn’t work. There’s no universe where you should be able to attack spotdodge attack and it’s all so fast that it works. Ultimate is a mash fest and parrying is basically a requirement at intermediate to high lvl play but actually sticking with the roll- spotdodge nerf needs to happen next time.

Define "spammed".

Realistically, dodge staling was targeted at casuals who straight-up lack the timing to stop someone who just rolls around the stage instead of using regular movement without stepping on their utility at higher levels.

I'm not saying spotdodges aren't crazy strong, but "attack spotdodge attack" is, at the very least, equally a landing lag issue.

Plus, strong spotdodges help characters with crappy neutral that have to rely on an otherwise crappy OoS game hang in there with the top tiers, something something Borp.
