Dead Hard not working?
Tonight, I got hit thru DH every single time I used it, is this a known bug or issue?
I'll admit, I may not be the "best" DH user, but honestly I've had success with it usually over 50% of the time, which is why I still enjoy running the perk..
But out of lets say close to 10 DH attempts tonight, not a SINGLE one was successfull.... and there were at least 3 of them where I got downed DURING the DH Animation... not before or after, but I actually got hit and downed by an M1 literally in the middle of the little "dash forward" animation, which is when I began to suspect that something is wrong.
Anyone else experiencing this all the sudden or am I alone? Was hoping someone could tell me its a bug they are working on or something.. and I am saying this as a Killer Main lol, I really enjoy playing the re-worked DH, but if it is legit not going to work at all anymore that's a problem!
EDIT NOTE:
I make a point above about being hit "during animation" because previously, I was forced to use DH slightly before the Killer's swing in order to activate it sometime so I would get the DH Endurance effect even if it didn't happen during the "dash" but slightly after, now I'm not getting it during the animation or after.

The actual window for the endurance effect doesn't last the entire animation. You only get the endurance effect for 0.5 seconds and i believe the animation is longer than that. I think it is working fine because as a killer i'm getting caught out by it from survivors constantly however once a killer knows you have it they will wait that extra half a second to hit you. once you know the timings its very easy to ignore the dead hard as once the animation starts you can basicly activate a lunge attack and your guarenteed to down the survivor.
Obviously this is unless they are using auto dead hard which is becoming ever more popular as its harder to identify these days.

Interesting..
I am willing to believe that I just failed all of my DH that hard... but I swear the timing of it feels really off for me "all of the sudden"
Previously, I would probably succeed in DH around 65% of the time.
Now tonight, playing the same way as I always do, it was actual 0%
That's a pretty big jump, but I suppose if no body else has noticed anything then maybe I was just having a really off night lol..

No not just you. I have yet to have it work either, and I time it perfectly. I just can't use that perk anymore. If you need 0 ping on fiber internet to use the perk or its broken.

Sometimes it is inconsistent. But when it works it really helps.

I can't use it, cause I'm always playing around 90 - 110 ping, that just not working for me properly

I’m still seeing dead hard way too often in my games. Which means there are still a lot of survivors that are still using it well.

I’ve not experienced any issues with it. Successful probably 90% of the time with. Use it through pallets.

That's pretty good advice, lol sadly I did use it at Pallet and still got hit through the animation yesterday, which is when I thought to make a post... BUT you are correct, it is best to use it when the Killer thinks you are gonna do something different.
Ugh, I really had been enjoying playing DH lately (I never liked it before surprisingly) , but now I feel like I have to swap it out because I can never seem to get it to work all the sudden, I'm still at 0% success rate, I don't really understand what changed or is going on...
Like I pointed out, 65% to 0% is a pretty big jump, and is making me really dislike using the perk lol.
