The point is you have to learn manual block at some point and it's better sooner than later.

<- still can't block an overhead without obstructing his field of view then dying to the next swing.

Luckily(?) shields pretty much never break anyway; between kicks, crushthrough, and swings that magically go through your block, your shield will outlive you 90%+ of the time.

youre right, if youre a hoplite you shouldnt even be in a position where youre having multiple enemies swinging on you and no teamate is coming to help. Experienced hoplites cant really do a 4v1 most of the time because its only 1 direction swing anyone can just block down and then youre fucked. I normally drop my shield as a hoplite when i get into an even fight then pick it up when im done at rare ocassions because im terrible at this game
also would recommend using wse2 and use max FOV for noobs like u that havent learned that regular fov sux
