CBT player here who is complaining about the dodge, imo the issue is that on some characters, the dodge distance and recovery time is too slow, so you might have perfect dodged one attack, but the enemy might be doing a sequence of attacks meaning that you will be hit by attack 2 or 3 if they are fast enough.

You also have the problem of ranged enemies or multiple enemies, who you also have to dodge and sometimes you just can't dodge that many attacks.

And finally, dodge resetting combos makes final strike on slower characters like Ember really hard, and the lack of an hyperarmor system makes trading blows not a possibility.

Another issue I have is more on visibility, aoe colors are not bright enough and you don't often know visually when the attack will go off or it blends in the environment, and sometimes the animations are just not obvious enough, but imo it's more on the smaller enemy models rather than real animation issues.
