Call me slow, but just today I noticed counterattack was actually working.
I was killing stormtroopers in Kor Vella, and getting jumped by Ragtag Lunatics that spawned nearby. I was fully buffed (doc + dancer + musician + chef. Fully buffed!) in full composite armor so I didn't even give the Ragtags a second glance... until I noticed they were dead before I could target them.
So I looked closer. I was focusing on the stormtroopers the whole time (look-at target + combat target) but when the Ragtags would shoot at me and the combat spam said "but you counterattack", I'd actually fire back at the Ragtags! 
I was like, "HOLY **edit** IT WORKS~!@!?!?!"
Why didn't anyone tell me?

Here is what counterattack does:
1. Makes the normal attack right after the counterattack unblockable (not a special attack).
2. Sometimes, it will insta-stand you without fail when KDd (even when dizzied)
3. absorbs damage.
thats it. It doesn't really counterattack.

You sure?
I'm going to double-check again (triple-check?) when I get home from work.
I know I didn't shoot those Ragtags myself, and there was no one else in the area, so I don't know how they were getting killed.

My experience with counterattack has been (after examining the combat tab) I do a default attack on my assailant directly after the "...but you counterattack" text in the combat tab. It normally hits for about 50 damage or so in PvP.

That's what I was seeing too, but vs. weaksauce Ragtag Lunatics, the default attack would kill them in one or two shots. Thanks for verifying. I thought I had lost it.

Yeah, yesterday I did that, too. Had no idea it gave more damage and actually attacked instead of just countered. The cool part was I did a dodge-like roll and warped back 50 meters!

Counterattack mainly seems to make enemies miss more often, to me at least.

pretty sure, and i've got +200 to counter, so i think i'd notice. Haven't attacked anything lately where you could tell, tho.
