it feels to me like the hate comes from outsiders who weren't long-term fans and what the series to be what it's not.

Literally a fan since Arena: The series went from swinging at something point blank and only hitting it when the dice rolls behind the scene said you did, to just always hitting. It still feels just as cheap and crappy. Especially compared to literally every other action game in existence.

At least Arena and Daggerfall had you move your mouse around to swing, similar to M&B, or Chivalry do today.
