Hot Take (Probably)

Heavy dodge attacks should 100% be vulnerable to GBs or even certain attacks on various Heros. Now of course there would be exceptions to this, like for example: Dodge Lights, external GBs, maybe gimmick attacks like Tiandi's dodge? I just hate how good heavy dodges are in the current meta and they're so annoying to go up against, mostly because of their ease of use and light punishment. In my mind, if I make a correct read and go for a GB or even a Chain Heavy to counter your dodge, I should get that punish. This problem is much more prominent now for me since I've taken up playing Highlander (which is a VERY fun character btw). I can't wrap my head around how one dodge attack counters Kick into Caber...why? Hard Feinting into neutral just to get a single light attack as a punish is not a fun way to play the game. Honestly, I feel like dodge attacks generally should be reaction based counter attacks like Nobu. You have to dodge the incoming attack FIRST and THEN put in your attack input. None of this "Oh I've been hit...well I guess I'll just use this attack of mine to avoid whatever comes next". I'm sure there's plenty of better ways to adjust them, but I just hate em in their current state. I will never not like them. Dodge attacks ruin the flow of gameplay for lots of Heros imo and if they're gonna give em to all Heros then give em an actual punish plz thank appreciat.

Addendum: Shinobi is honestly the worst offender of this. A Side Dodge Bash with built in I-Frames(I might be wrong on that) which has a 50/50 punish both ways...

Thats terribly unfun to deal with when it's constantly spammed, unless you play BP ig.

There is no reason for generic heavy dodge attacks to be GB immune. It doesnt improve the game or add complexity, its not a gatekeep mechanic, it litterally makes half the unblockables useless because its an option select.

When I play Valkyrie, I'll intentionally thow heavy finishers from right or left guard to catch players trying to dodge the sweep...but it misses nearly everytime. I don't understand it at all. Where's the mix? What happened to eliminating all Option Selects? What happened to the offensive meta? Why can a defensive move counter most of my offensive options without any actual thought behind the action?

Awful mechanic...

Seconded. I cant the amount of times I got punished for making a correct read. Make all dodge attacks GB vulnerable. They are essentially what zones used to be before option selects got removed.
