    Idea for reflex guard

    I was thinking, what if the assassins and Shaolin held down the block direction to keep it there and let go to have it go away?

    I think it would be overall better and it makes sense too. If I'm constantly guarding then why would it go away?

    Does this end up being two inputs to switch your guard though? Move the thumbstick "in", and then to the other direction you want?

    He means that like static guard heroes, as long as guard is held in a direction it will stay up. However, when guard is released that's when the decay hits in and it disappears. So instead of having to mash your thumbstick left to constantly have an active guard left, you can just hold your thumstick to the left to have a continuous guard.

    Oh duh, for some reason I read it completely differently.

    Incidentally, Gladiator and Shinobi's reflex guard lengths are being looked at based on the last Warrior's Den.

    Just keep slowly pushing the mouse in one direction, it isn't uncommon to lift and readjust the mouse when it reaches the edge of the mousepad for other games.

    reflex guard gets me killed sometimes, especially in ganking situations. i'd prefer it to be removed rather than tweaked. is there a specific reason why reflex guard exists?
