manners are pretty common in fight clubs and 1v1s. They will never exist in invasions. Unfortunately dark souls 3's simplified multiplayer made it much easier to set up a gank squad, and the fact that invasions will almost only happen when the host has phantoms makes it much more easy for gankers to get 1 invader at a time to stomp. It'll never go away in this game sadly, all we can hope is that they give invaders some more advantages. Yes, the meta is sadly too limited. Though honestly you can thank the lack of poise and prominence of parrying for that. Everyone will just choose the weapons that can't be parried, the 1-shot combo weapons, or the fast stunlock weapons because they just work so well. Diverisity won't exist these things aren't fixed. I like parrying in this game, but your right the 360° needs to go. 180° should be the max. Darkmoon is much better now actually, you get summoned a lot more often. Though you still dont have enough people using way of blue.
