Shield's Nerf + Slash Cancellation = Jab-Spam Heaven

Before you either rally behind me or stab me in the ass, hear me out.

The shield got a nerf a build or two ago, where they can't block as much.
Then, you add in the thing where jabs can cancel out slashes.

I have heard, but have only experienced once, where some people can literally hit you through your shield because they jab through the little corners, the little holes in your shield. Of course, now, you are getting slain no matter what through your shield, and if you take your shield down and run backwards, the jabspammer will advance before you can get a safe distance for a slash to work.

I suggest that there be a way that the shield can block anything BELOW it if it is facing forwards, like a Kite Shield, saving your chest and your legs and feet. If you are still confused, what I mean is ti have the shield be like a line in front of you, instead of a circular . . . thingy ... You can still hit above, but you can't get at people's feet through the shield.

Also, this wouldn't affect any combat. If you are an archer, you can shoot above him. I he is jumping, you can hit him since they never carry their shield while jumping. If you are below them, you can still hit them since anything other than a straight hit to the bottom corner of his shield would hit him.
If you are knight, you can still do everything you did before, other than jab someone's toes off.

 

shields are butter now, please fix

 

I've actually had problems jabbing knights. Even if their shield is down. I jab them, but the damage doesn't register. They can jab me all they want, however. I have ~100 ping on most of these servers, but once it was only about 30.

 

it's all conspiracy so professional knight players have to retire

Spoiler

check your connection to the server though

 

Although I agree with Auburn
Some people don't have servers that are within 0-80 ping so they always get that ping

 

That would be nice having your head showing, allowing shots by archers. Just 5 pixels at least for an archer to hit. Does less damage maybe?

 

I guess I fall under the "high ping" category,There are no servers in my area.Best ping I ever get is 133ms, and yeah; blocking the #jabspam can be a little challenging because I'm seeing things 133 milliseconds later than actual Hopefully the jab-spam thing gets fixed.

 

Lol what this is the best change ever done to Beta u mad?
