This bug has been existing for years and still not fixed leading to frustration especially if you play true solo/duo. It’s not fun to be soft-disabled and immediately die as enemies continue to attack the player instead of ignoring him as intended.
as a game mechanic its annoying no doubt.
being in a headlock, unable to move and getting stomped on left and right.
BUT at least its immersive
if you ever got into a street brawl, those muggers left and right don´t stop kicking your head if one of them got you pinned down.
Because this is a game, in reality you can’t fend off bullets with flesh and faith, and certain mechanics exist to make the player feel fair and fun, not real.
