Nerf smite

While they're at it though, they should nerf guard. 99% damage reduction was ridiculous in addition to all its buffs over time. Guard should not be a get out free button. We can't be reducing Guard breaks while keeping guard in this state. If they want to keep it at 99%, we need more guard breaks.

... wait what?

It's simply, if they want guard to be overwhelmingly strong, it needs counterplay. It used to give you 90% damage immunity and a 50% slow.

If we're talking within the context of frontline, Guard is literally a nothingburger in my opinion. If you get caught pants down by the enemy and have to guard, you're dead 4s later, that's all.
It has other more occasional uses, but well.
