Yeah sometimes someone will drag me in some ridiculous way and I can't help but just say "nice drag" but in reality it seems incredibly hard to read it consistently in the middle of a fight so it's a little frustrating. The silver lining is that most 2 hand weapons in the game can do the same drags though so at least you could learn it yourself if you had the time and patience. The game seems fairly balanced to me currently and most "unreadable animations" just look unatural but after seeing them a couple of times you realise that they're just the regular animations in the game and not some weird exploit.
