at the moment kicks last so long that if you are playing any build which needs to get close to someone, they can kick you with ease.
I can't tell you the amount of times per hour i will be fighting someone and they will throw a kick, i'll be already half way --behind-- them (as in i'll be literally past their shoulder), and i'll take a kick, because the duration lasts such an insane amount of time.
Please please oh please can you reduce their duration closer to native levels in the next patch, I-win-buttons aren't fun!
