Well... youre comparing a third person shooter to action games so.... yeah... Think uncharted, spec ops,army of two, gears of war, etc. Rolling as a whole in straight up action games is stronger than rolling in third person shooters

Warframe is a hybrid of action and tps, so it gets a hybrid of those mechanics. The only other tps games i can really think of that have action game mechanics are resident evil 6 and vanquish.

And honestly, ii'd rather have that 1.5 seconds of damage reduction (the reduction is the entire duration of the roll, not the half second of an iframe) than the split second timing needed for an iframe, consideringTHIS IS A SHOOTER, and you have 20 people shooting at you at once, and not 2-6 guys slashing at you with swords or scythes. Unless you could cancel a roll, with another roll, that type of iframe in warframe just wouldnt work for real, because you have literally dozens of bullets flying at you simultanously.
