I barely bother participating in keep fights anymore on the attacking side because literally all it is is negate spam and siege (but siege is a different topic). There is zero fun to be had when I try to go up one of the towers and literally get negated 3 times before I make it to the top. It's not fun. It's annoying and super frustrating.

The ccs the guards dish out are aggravating as well. They are super hard to cc break and even harder to get cc immunity from.

I don't feel like I'm frustrated by guards because I'm doing the mechanics wrong. I feel like I'm frustrated because I can't even fight back properly. It's horrible gameplay and needs a change.

If Zos wants guards to be powerful, instead of them hitting you with brutal counters like negate carpet bombs and unbreakable ccs, they should just do more damage or actual combos or something. Just anything that actually allows me to fight back. As of now when I'm on a magicka toon and I see a cool keep fight I don't even bother joining as there is no fun in it because of the guards.

    At least there should be a stamina-canceling equivalent to negates that the guards can use. Kinda sucks to being unable to do anything b/c of all the negates and stam builds don't have to give a sh*t.
