JOKING! I'm all for it. 
I've seen a couple of threads lately that is all against it. I actually love the direction Ashes is going, but they could take it to the next level in my opinion. I recently watched Hogwarts Legacy 2nd Gameplay Showcase, and in my personal opinion, I'd love if AoC could use this as a base reference for block/dodge. The dodging and blocking (spell shield) looks beautiful. It's fast paced and smooth. Combat in general here looks great.
