Sidedoge parry change??

Getting back into the game after a few month and noticed alot of the side doge heavys when parried are being punished as if it were a light getting a heavy off of a heavy just doest feel good? When did this change go through and why? Does this actually Improve the game? Just feels like a big punish for little work Edit: thank you all for explaining I now see ubi has once again made a horrible decision
