I agree that the poleaxe seems pretty hard to parry. Something about its super slow windup but terribly fast release. Make sure your playing on the lowest possible ping you can. I can feel a HUGE difference between 60 and 90 ping. It really only leaves me with like one server in West NA.
Its like the difference between planting your feet and swinging at a guy in front of you or to a different guy to the side of you. Same amount of power but they will land at different times.
Mordhau has never promised to be anything more than chivalry on steroids. That's what the chivalry veterans wanted and that's what the devs are. Timed blocks are more fun (and more realistic to be honest because they are parries not blocks) and more skillful. Mount and Blade\kingdom come\chivalry were never meant to be competitive on the level mordhau is aspiring to be. The combat needs to be solid and skillful. Easy to learn, hard to master. No gimmicky shit like breaking shields and held swings.
Theres also the issue that your shield and character emblem don't change color at all. So if I make a character with a red shield and I'm on the blue team, I'll still have a red shield. I swear I saw a guy who would change his emblem to the opposite team on purpose every round so that he could confuse everyone.

λdambombDrEpoch, just become a shield main and stop this. Drags are here to stay. Even if they are ridiculous or not.
ITS TIME TO STOP.

λdambombPretty sure the proficiency system that's not in the alpha right now solves this issue some way.
