I kind of agree, but without the exaggeration. It's a cool weapon and has incredible style, but it's really let down by a lot of things.
Its low AR for 40/40 investment, its average block and stability is quite poor for the exact thing it's supposed to do, it's extremely latency-dependent which often results in you trading blows without any block frames active on your end, its tracking is poor, it has terrible range, and its bread-and-butter which is the jump attack, is heavily telegraphed and can be avoided simply by rolling towards the weapon instead of away.
It's an alright dueling weapon if you know what you're doing, but it loses out to the meta, such as Dark builds or curved swords + daggers.
