About the only time I try to chamber is versus held attacks.

Its right, think of a baseball hitter, essentially they use a held attack.

One might think that since shielders, especially hoplites, get facehugged and spammed to death more than any other class that their blocking nudge would be the quickest to activate, with a semi-reliable hitbox... but nope. It's far safer to release your block and then neutral nudge to get someone off you, and well, that brings us back to point A where you get hit as soon as you release your block.
