I disagree. You can't die from chip and from a combo at the same time. One of the biggest complaints I saw all over Twitter is how people hate chip death. With no metee after a breakaway, you're now vulnerable to getting chipped to death and there are definitely characters in this game that can do it.
Most of the time, I've seen breakaway practically used once a round because it takes something like 36 seconds to build enough bar back to do it again. These rounds go by really fast as it is. 36 seconds is a lot of time not to be able to use armored interacts(which have KBs attached to them), escapes, rolls, etc.
Sure, breakaway can be annoying. But it's really not that bad. You're always gonna have YOLO play, breakaway or no. That's just a part of fighting games.
