I applaude you for the last line, and that might honestly be the case. I wear heavier armor sets with great defenses and poise, often for cosplay purposes, and still get beaten to a pulp. I do the same as you, and avoid abusing those main aspects, which are honestly the eyesores of this game entirely.

On another note, I do backstab, but as a punishing tool, such as people who use incredibly-slow weapons, ran out of stamina and barely managed to perform their previous action due to that, or if they're using spells with a long casting time that leave them exposed to counterattack. When I backstab someone for this reason, I find it as a way to teach them to not openly leave themself vulnerable, or manage their stamina more wisely next time. Meanwhile... there are others who take every oppurtunity or circle-strafe you to the point you just put your controller down and say, "F*ck it, I'm done! Just go ahead... backstab me like you've been trying so hard to clearly do for the past 5 minutes! It's not like I wanted an actual decent fight or anything..."
