This is just a simple question of : Have they changed External Blocks in any way?
I'm wondering about this because it seems (for me atleast) to be much harder and wierder to external block in ganks. It ranges from attacks not showing up on the External block thing or when i block 1 attack it doesnt do the thing where, For example : if 2 people hit me at the same time and i block 1 i will block both of them.
If anyone can answer this i would be really happy

Yes, if someone hits you and you block it you will block all of the attacks if they connect at the same time (i think it works this way)
The problem i have with this is in the case of if someone is attacking you and after you block it (still in last frames of block animation) another opponent attacks you but the camera movement caused by the first block attack causes the camera to move the second attack out of that block zone so you "block it" but it connects on another side at the last second.
In my opinions if someone makes a external attack it should stay in that position regardless of camera movement.

It depends a bit on the attack you actually block and how much block stagger they grant. Light attacks don't block stagger too long so you can actually move your guard but heavy attacks or attacks like zerks zone keep you in block state longer and hence providing an all-block. Nothing has changed there
check out freeze's YT channel for more interesting details about external blocking, for example why and when indicators of attacks disappear.
