Like I predicted with the problems I mentioned, the meta has turned into a spam fest of un-counterable attacks and hardly any weapon swings, cause they will be parried and punished with a heavy attack.
Duels now look like this: Spamming exploits like the Warden shoulder bash chained into GB, which means you can't dodge it because if you do, the GB at the end will lock you up without counter chance since you got hit right after a dodge.
If you DON't dodge, you get stunned for a short moment, enough for an attack or the GB to hit you, again without counter opportunity.
