Yes, and that strategy is so easy to do it renders L-swords useless. It needs to be changed in some way order for L-swords to ever be viable.
Blocking slash rushes or causing recoil when you block with an L-Sword is too strong, you're right. I'll change 2) to include that blocking with a large sword doesn't cause recoil. Or you just do option 2 and only enable tap-blocking with no recoil *shrug*. Also don't forget, you can only block while on the ground. So just flip them. boom, problem solved.
Backpeddling is a fair piece of feedback, but you can do that with katanas and L-swords in their current state. Why don't you see it done right now? because it's bad and easy to work around since you're way more mobile than L-sword users.
