I agree with this. There should be a back and forth in PvP. A duel should involve a flow. In a game like Mordhau, feinting is a legitimate tactic that opens you up to a counter-attack when spammed. In Conan, animation canceling has no downside and endlessly saves people from being punished for poor attack choices.
In Conan, weapons like the mace are deliberately designed as counter-plays. They have less mobility, but more hyper armor. You bait someone in and punish them with a burst of high damage.
Canceling just deletes that and removes a huge aspect of skill expression from the game.
