Consider this, we now have abilitys that play animations but don't do damage because they're not actually hitting. But with abilitys that get you out of interlock the animation may play and keep you out of IL even if it hits. It's been mentioned with rifle butt smash. But not with things like side roll escape and so on. Well it happens, it's why MKTs, when low on health, ALWAYS get away, not insanely high consisted withdrawal points.
Now you have something to actually complain about, enjoy.
