Backpedaling vs facehuggers is one thing, but we arent all facehuggers. Not every 1hander is even a facehugger. I hate picks more than most, but still... backpedalling is just gayness.
S-key is a strategy to keep control of the fight, especially vs shorter weapons. If you cant learn how to fight this with a short weapon then get a longer one. If someone is backpeddal spamming usually a single hold attack puts them off their tempo.
If backpeddaling wasnt an option you would get shit on by the insane speed and confusing animations of 1h.

If you get the chance to facehug and dont then you are not making full use of being 1h, just like how a longer weapons should make us of, guess what, the range through backpeddaling. Its just how the game works, what people have found to be the most effective ways to play their classes. Changing this would change too much of a core mechanic in the game i feel.
Sweetspots were tightened on all attacks, but the turn rate hasn't been changed in well over a year. That's why the drag overheads, late stabs, and swings end up glancing where they would have landed more easily at the beginning of 2014. Side swings never received a turn nerf of any sort afaik since I started playing. This coupled with high speed weapons (the espada and hand axe both being 101+ at least) makes it so that you have less time to turn.
I see what you mean, though, but comparatively, 1h has the best turn rate already. Could be worth looking into for all weapon types with the new sweetspots and relaying some thoughts to the higher-ups.
REMOVE TURNRATE NERF 2k14 PLS, it's still pissing me off more than anything in this game, it just makes the game feel clunky.
