I will probably never understand why some players are raging against things like 'blocking reducing damage'. Had I been the dev, blocking would cut the damage in half and grant a chance to ignore (block) an attack entirely, a chance to resist knockdown, grant stagger immunity and a chance to damage the attacker, without any mods attached. Why is that so? Because it's blocking. You can't shoot while blocking, you can't attack while blocking, you can't block while interacting with shit. Blocking is for charging into enemies, for stopping melee attacks and for tanking. Defensive moves have extreme downsides that need to be balanced with proper advantages. When's the last time you've blocked something? Never. Because apparently, people hate it when other players block attacks in a coop shooter. Way to go.
