DS1 strikes the best balance of rolling and blocking.
In DS2 rolling is too slow unless you commit half your build to speeding it up (who thought this was a good idea).
In DS3 they go to far in the other direction, shields just become useless.
Even in elden ring shields are significantly worse than rolling, since enemies just zip around the screen like retards and chain 8 hit combos on you.
