The interaction itself where you get riposted this many times is not quite fair, but I wouldn't say that its something you should ever be subjecting yourself to in the first place, I think that a melee standing in your face should incur a downside of some kind, and if that downside is being unable to use combo skills that would otherwise kill them on the spot, then what's wrong with that? The only issue is when these multihits are melee ranged but to my knowledge only fist weaponry suffers from this (which, I think them proccing riposte twice isn't intended anyway).

As is the case with Rapid Kick, I prefer the benefits of it's multi-hitting nature over the downsides, so I attempt to be as wary as I can when utilizing it, I even turn it's likely chance to be riposted into an upside with the likes of Kagero for instance.

There's a lot of moving parts in the multi-hitting nature of these moves that would cause a massive upset/nerf if that were to be changed specifically, and I'd rather be aware of Riposte than to have that removed. Which is why I can agree with changing riposte, but honestly it can be worked around with so many things already like just moving out of the way or low momentum movement options, even rapid kick is fine with the likes of Crane Hop available to Verglas.
