What's even worse, is that block works inconsistently now too. Very noticeable when you are running some kind of tank. It doesn't work to "brace for fall" either, well yes it works for like a second - then you take full fall damage. Not cool in PVP. It doesn't work to lightly tap block to dismount either, like it used to do (so remove that from "hints" if you please...), finally the "pause" for block is veeery long now when you switch bars, compared to how it used to be.
I recall some of the devs writing something like "We made some changes to block, and we think you will like it!". Not really. We never cared about block. It just worked. Now it does not. So please, fix that.
still having LOTS of problems with the "block bug" on PS4 this time in Battlegrounds and Cyrodiil. This is so annoying and really needs to be fixed. Hard to do anything with the block shield stuck in front of you constantly.
