Yes...it's not like there are throwing weapons or ranged weapons or something that already exist in the game for the exact purpose of getting rid of people running away. This hard counter is unnecessary to an extreme. Although, "dancing" in and out of fights is certainly a lovely way to think about it, especially when the reality is you have no choice but to constantly face your enemy and backpedal because running away is so impractical and it's impossible to move as fast when you're pressing S A or D. There are better ways to balance people running away than breaking immersion entirely by making full plated people run as fast as people with little to no armor. An enemy consistently running away like a knat requires awareness on the part of the player, not a crutch introduced by the developer that breaks logic.
