Both are equally bad. I dont support that either. Both dont require any skill hence why my favorite game of all time is ninja gaiden on og xbox.  That was pure skill. Heck dark soils has more skill than this and i am not a big fan of ds. 

I cant wait for the day when console games will have AI that learns how you play and then changes its style to counterattack yours. Rather have that then fancy graphics at 4k 😂

Hey, its a better way it implment difficultly than a lot of games typically use - same number of enemies by with health multiplers. That is just boring.

What do you mean you don't need skill, the blocking and deflecting is there because of the "Posture Mechanic", you deflect enemies to break their posture for you to perform a deathblow, enemies block and deflect too, but lesser enemies mostly just block that's why they are easier to deathblow, in case you did not notice, when you deflect(tapping L1/LB), a big spark is noticeable compared to just blocking(holding L1/LB) where there is less spark and in turn gets your posture build hence you get stunned for a bit. This is not like Soulsborne where enemies will most likely just take every hit you give.
