In a nut shell, Noobs do not like the sword block because they could not sword block themselves and when useing the sword, it is the only way for them to get many kills, with them being noob that is...
Not true? Well look up the stats of anyone who likes game changes that makes things easiers and 80% of the time it is a bad player that likes the changes.

Things in TU like no sword block are to give the noobs an even footing.
End of story....
Well the only good thing that came with TU is the nerf on armour lock, and I think we ALL can agree on that .
