And at the end of the day it is still 100% your fault for allowing your opponent to get an advantageous positioning. You take what you can get. If you fail to get better positioning that is your own fault just as it is your own fault for leaving your back to a wall. Positioning was always a key strategy (less so now but still there) and if you fail to pay attention to your positioning then why should you be rewarded as such? This is why slopes were great in older DoA's. It had a double impact. Position correctly and you get rewarded with a bigger juggle. Position poorly and the defender is rewarded slightly for doing his best by keeping you out of positioning yourself on a descending slope. Sadly DoA5 limits such rewards, but it still doesn't change the fact that you should still pay attention to your positioning whether it be a wall,dangerzone or a slope.
You can call me condescending all you want, but there really is no arguing against it. There is nothing silly about it, and you are only giving up damage if you allow it to happen. No matter how you try to play it off, at the end of the day you failed to control your opponent.
