So then that's not indicative of light attack spamming. Which is it? If you are playing any class but an assassin class, they have static guard constantly, which means every PK has only two viable options to attack from. So what you are saying is, even guessing which side you have Lee'less than 50% successful block rating? That's the problem right there. (Again, assuming you run anything but an assassin)
If you ARE running an assassin, then my question is, what are you doing trying to block in the first place? Dodging is far more effective, and with proper timing can lead to deflect, which is class specific.
I only block if I can execute a for sure parry, otherwise, I move out the way.

What I'm saying is, that they should remove this "guessing game" from For Honor entirely

But it's not a guessing game, they give a telegraph before the attack goes off, Hell there it's even the moment before the attack is even processed where you see the other player switch his stance.

You have to guess with every single attack thrown at your regardless of the class behind the attack lol

A true guessing game as far as blocking behaviors goes would be what soul calibur does with it's guard break. Where you use guard plus an attack to activate, and to defend you have to guys which combination was used. No telegraph, no indication from the opponents avatar to clue you in on which he used. That's a legitimate 50/50 shot, this is not.

No. Most classes have decent frames until the attack lands. Peacekeepers is downright broken.

And stop arguing that she can be blocked. You have 4 ****ing frames to react. That's no where near enough for a human. Go look up block frames for all classes, and then peacekeepers attack frames for light attacks. Then you'll stop with your "she can be blocked, you just got to git gud" ********.

She can be blocked, I and others do it all the time. If worst comes to worst back up and bait a parry from her lunge attacks, The only thing out of control is the broken zone attacks

I'm not trying to argue with you about the validity of blocking light attacks from PKs, the fact that I get blocked regularly is all the proud I need. I'm trying to give you valid advice to help you.
If you choose not to listen, that's on you. I had trouble with nobushi and their light attacks causing bleed damage, but I didn't cry and try to get it begged, I learned how the vastbest ways me to mitigate my danger of bleeding out.

I try this most of the time but for some reason the stagger between hits prevents me from dodging in time and I'm forced to try to block (especially during the double hit combo between which there is essentially no time to do anything). Dodges are too slow to avoid the light attacks on reaction, so either you guess or you move backwards. Sometimes this works, but often the next hit just tracks forward and I still get hit. If I'm against a wall, this is impossible. Sometimes I try to deflect, but the most common reason I die to light attack spams is when I get caught up in trying to react to something that fast, and continuously fail to do so.

Look, I understand the argument of git gud. It is true that these things are POSSIBLE to deal with, but that doesn't make it balanced. Whether something is balanced or not depends on how much skill it takes to do vs how much skill it takes to counter. In this case, there's a pretty big difference. Often when I play PK I will without thinking do a light-light-heavy feint-light-light and then stop because I realise I've just taken down half of the enemy's health with 0 effort, and trust me, I don't like achieving a victory if I did not earn it. And that heavy feint probably isn't even necessary; If I restart the chain and go straight back to light-light I probably would get the same effect.

Most PK's I meet nowadays don't do this that much, and without the light spam I think it's a pretty balanced class. However I got this guy yesterday who I absolutely decimated in 3 duels straight because he kept taking my feint bait and I just parried and GB triple stabbed him over and over (some people just don't learn). Then he switches to PK and spams lights and gets me 3-0. Though to be fair to him he wasn't a bad PK when he wasn't spamming - but when he was I just felt helpless. The worst bit is that I know I could at any point switch into spam mode and destroy most opponents, but I just don't want to stoop that low.

Yeah. By sheer ****ing luck you can of course block her

First, that's not really light spam. That's a creative feint. Second, every class has two-four hit combos that can reduce over half a players health. And all can be executed with relative ease.
