Armour lock is an [i]absolute counter[/i] to the sword.
Here's the scenario: I have a sword, and I lunge at you. You armour-lock, taking out my shields and stunning me, and then you pop out and pummel me.
I've done nothing wrong. I've simply used the sword the only way it can be used. Despite this, any competent armour-locker (Lol oxymoron) can kill me with ease.
There is [i]no way I can prevent this,[/i] save not using the sword at all.
How is that [i]fine?[/i] How is that [i]balanced?[/i]

If he doesn't see you coming, he won't AL. If he sees you coming, use your head.[/quote] He has a radar. [/quote] Right, but his radar doesn't say, "guy's gonna kill you with a sword!!"[/quote] Often, a Sword user will be sprinting. If I see on my motion sensor a fast moving dot approaching and NOT shooting me already, I can work out that he/she has a Sword. Click Left Bumper, spin, melee, now it's my Sword. Unbalanced.
