If we ban stuff based on an opinion that they're glithces, we will also have to ban toggle escape. And how about bleed roll dodge or spell canceling? Are those intended or not? All i know is that both toggle escape and dead angles already existed in demon's souls and were not removed by devs.
To me, dead angling is another tool available for anyone. Sure, it abuses game mechanics, but it is common knowledge among the dueling community. When someone dead angles, he also makes himself very vulnerable to backstabs. I can understand why so many people think wog dead angle is different, but i always dodge magics instead of blocking anyway, so personally i don't care.
Roll backstabbing is a good way to punish spamming or mistakes. I agree that it becomes boring if your opponent does nothing else than waits for you to attack and then tries to roll bs. But i trust we are mature enough to have some sportsmanship and actually try to fight each other. However, if someone only fishes for roll bs against me, i won't hold it against him. I would have to adapt, and try to outplay him using other means which is always interesting.
From a lore perspective: If we have the fight club to train ourselves to fight people who would harm Priscilla, why should we limit ourselves?
