The clip that made me drop Mo & Krill from Roster

Firstly: apologies for the audio being out of sync, I have posted about this on the bug subforum & I know it makes the clip annoying to watch. Please don't discuss it here in this thread as it isn't the topic.

  • Deadlock_M&KUlt.01.mp4: only exists to show how forgiving M&K ult is suppose to be. That's it: it's context for the actual clip in question.
  • Deadlock_M&KUlt2.WTF.mp4: shows the straw that broke the camel's back. I phantom strike at the very start into Shiv yet despite spamming my ult key I dance around until I die. At 4 seconds my combo starts yet stops and the same happens at 8 seconds.

When I type 'the straw that broke the camel's back' I mean I have consistently experienced this. The 2nd worse time was when I dashed into an ulting enemy Haze to... stand beside her taking dmg until I dropped dead. That is what you'd see if you were another player in that match. In actuality I was spamming my ult key while being right beside here. Crosshiar on her.

And while this clip is video documentation, & that Haze story is a memory recall, I have so many deaths on M&K where I am spamming my ult key on an enemy that is close enough for it. Please, do not think 'are you sure you were in range' oh yes 100% that's why I move into them if I'm not. Nor 'maybe 100% of the time they have unstoppable or something'. Sometimes players get unstoppable sure, but no. Not like my luck with M&K ult.

I have also switch 'ability key cancels ability' off in the settings as it is a guess that I am pressing my ult key again after starting it. Space is the only way I cancel abilities and believe you me I am not pressing space here.

I don't even think this an actual bug, I think this is just the game telling me to not play M&K. Which is unfortunate because I am improving on them (like I am on my whole roster). Compare my first 23 matches of M&K to every match after that due to my 24th match being when they 'clicked' for me. My improvement with them has shot up if you could graph it out.

... But I basically don't have a 4th ability & I don't understand why. That's the real kicker: I have thought, analysed, tried to figure out what I'm doing wrong. But a real player can be as close as hideout inferus is in the demonstration clip with my crosshair on them instead of to the side and... I stand there like a monkey doing no dmg yet having my healthbar melt.

I just can't M&K anymore. My tolerance over this ult fiasco has run out. game says 'if clutch situation, screw your ult only on M&K'. Like okay game I'll listen after 30-odd matches and drop them from roster, happy?

A question and an observation.
One, are you using instant cast?
Two, you're playing on around 90-100 ping in the first clip. Mo's ult is technically not instant, just very fast. It takes around 10 ticks to come out in a 64 tick game, or ~156ms. Between Combo's startup time and the ping, Shiv passed through your cursor and out of range before the startup of your ability was able to register on the server.

You end up landing the second Combo but must've fatfingered parry, because you instantly entered the parry animation and let go of the Shiv (which is why your Combo goes on cooldown).
