Personally I think backstabs should just be removed from the game altogether. The most common people I come across are BS fishers, as in they do nothing exept trying to get behind you.

Parries are fine since they need great timing to execute but backstabs are bullshit. I'd prefer if they were removed or their damage nerfed hard.
