You will experience these problem mostly in duels or brawls but still a problem for the whole game.
The most important thing first... it should be a mechanic in the game which guaranties you an guard break.. Auto guard break "combo" is you oarry the attack from your enemy and then you can guard break without a chance for him to counter guard break which gives a heavy for most chars or the can throw the enemy into sth or even let him fall down.
(A parry is really not hard to accomplisch after a short time!!!)
The following Situation will happen if this stays as it is: You have guys sitting in front of each other and nobody attacks, cuz it will get parried anyway.. From time to time their will be a guard break try and it will be counter guard breaked (One of the easiet things) and nothing happens. Just waiting.
The second thing is Revenge should not be triggered in a 1v1 because the same will happen again.. 1 is just waiting and so on... Should be pretty clear..
The third thing and probably the hardest thing to solve is you need to do something against just sitting back in general... You cant call it a fight if atleast 1 of them is just sitting back in order to only dodge or counter!??? To be honest i have no idea how to solve this problem but it needs to be done!
At the end i want to say that Ubisoft: YOU did a great job with getting us such a game but pls dont let it all go down to waist because of these absolutly destroying problems!!
These things just absolutly destroying the game.

I've been playing Conqueror a lot, and he is definitely balanced around countering. Since the main counter for blocking is guardbreak I had to learn to anticipate and counter the breakattack. Very hard to do against a skilled player. The same applies to counterattacks(light attack) and parries (heavy attack), If you play against someone who is good at varying his attack angles. A failed parry will kill you quick.
Mostly i find that the best attack in the Conqueror's arsenal is the jump attack. either from a sprint of guardstance. It catches a lot of players by surprise, and then I follow-up with heavy, light chain. That combo deals some mean damage.
Edit: Nevermind. I just found out that I was playing the Warlord class, not Conqueror... :/
