It has no place in this game anymore.

It has no place in this game anymore.

Agreed. It's pretty trash. When I use an assassin or hybrid with it, I'm constantly flicking the analog (console) in the direction to stay blocking in a specific direction, if it refreshed every time I flicked to the direction even if it's the same side I'm blocking on I'd be fine with it. But I have to drop my guard to some place else to refresh it, and there's a pretty big gap between when the guard drops to when you can refresh it(I mean you can get hit in that gap even if you're moving your guard to that side consistently).

So I agree. It's annoying getting hit in the gap or when I refresh the guard.

Since there are no remaining advantages from it, it should be removed. Or the global time should be raised to 2 seconds to reflex guards, I would be fine with that too.

Considering that everyone is getting light attacks that are closer to the assassin's speed and they're doing more damage, there's little reason to play assassins anymore. I think giving everyone a static guard is a step in the right direction.

I think they actually don't want the normal guard animations to be wasted. Orochi, for example, stands in the most classic katana stance, and they might not want to waste that completely. However, they could raise guard time to 2500ms in this case, that's almost static guard.
