The old guard system was one of the few unique mechanics in this game that actually worked (for the most part).
What could possibly make you think it worked? You just put your shield up every X seconds no matter what. There was no need for timing or judgment, it was just a button to babysit. Guard itself became obsolete once you got all the shield skills but the gameplay remained the same.
