A Small Nit Pick At Pantheon's New Attack Animations

When he thrusts his spear forward on basic attacks, there is no reason for him to move his shield away from his body because all he is doing is exposing himself and thus, why have a shield? What is a more accurate thing to do is thrust your shield arm with your sword/spear in order to protect your hand and be able to knock back any weapon coming from your side if they then try to reach around to get your body. It's just a small little thing that really makes no sense that so many games have people who don't actually use a shield to protect themself, instead just pulling it completely away from their body and who ever they are attacking.
