In first video it clearly says "Resisted" followed by "Elno can't have this effect again yet!" - so no snare
Zerk is getting a speed-tick in third video
Savage is getting speed from RM (you see him casting speed) - then afterwards I do not see anything strange.

I think melee-range is too big too on Phoenix, but devs checked it later vs live (I do not play live in current setting) and confirmed the melee-range to be correct.

Maybe lag?

First video, you are right on the effect, I saw that afterwards. Doesn't explain why he would hit without being on my screen.
Zerk still hits from way beyon 350
Savage at 0:41 doesn't get any tick and yet hits from faaaaaar away.

Funny you're explaining the speeds. Not discussing the fact they all hit from more than 350. Like way more.

It's not lag, it's ALL THE TIME like that.

There is also video evidence that if you use a style MOVING it will further increase the range : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkiI1aS4L0c

this explains SOOO MUCH now with why I get hit by melee from such long distances... another Phoenix bug or is this coded to be this way??

The range increases when attacker or defender is moving and increases again if both are moving, it's the same on live. We didn't record it but a player did those tests at some point too and recorded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ro3k32hGag

We actually have a very slightly smaller max range when both are moving

Do you know if it was the same on classic SI or if we are just having incorrect memories?

who knows what EA and Broadsword did to the game, but this really feels wrong even though it might be like that on live.
i vote for a slight decrease!

slight decrease? lol, how about decrease to melee range?
