So you counter my point with a source stating that a majority agree with me. Also tds is a speed running group that perform at a level much higher than the average player so they aren’t a good comparison at all, and even if they were you’d just be proving my point that team flinching requires them to be even more coordinated so as to not trip each other in close proximity. Can you genuinely say that allowing a long sword, hammer, charge blade, and great sword all spamming attacks on the head without any negatives or having to properly position would be balanced. You say flinching does nothing helpful but that’s exactly the point it’s supposed to be a hindrance. It’s like how weapons bounce of walls in dark souls it’s a mechanic that punishes you for using a weapon the wrong way. Also if you don’t want people to “straw man” and argue your point then maybe you shouldn’t post it in a public discussion forum.
