The system is fantastic, but the current state of affairs doesn't support it right now. Front-facing mitigation is hyper-efficient, hit/crit builds are stronger than most alternatives, and the people who benefit the most from this usually have ways to move behind someone without actually moving.

Imagine trying to fight someone with Cobra if they're staring you down, preparing to crit knockdown knockback you with Hands of the Giant if you try moving. Kensei would fall further behind ghost, since their option would be pick a suitable subclass or swing into Eviter, while Ghosts continue to Haunting EI people for hundreds and hundreds of damage.
