If unblocked attacks did double damage to your block Meter before hitting your health, this game would be a lot more chill.
Not necessarily easier either, as you'd be at constant risk of being block broken and combo'd by big attacks, BUT you could ignore that 1 little shitter sneaking up behind you to ruin your combo while you whomp a staggered boss, or you could safely wade into battle and not be scared of being attritioned by tiny hits from little shitters, giving you more room to be stylish.
