Finally getting around to watching the video and OH MY GOD countering makes so much more sense when explained fully.
I didn't realise the enemies attack needed to hit within a specific time window of the animation (indicated by the yellow bars), so I just didn't understand why my counters weren't working most of the time.
Really appreciate your help and directions!
See I'm afraid of the fridge as my starters always seem to develop a kind of acetone-y smell once in the fridge - that no matter how long I feed for out of the fridge, just won't go away.
I'm not at home enough to bake that often - at best I could maybe do twice across a weekend and maybe pizza dough once a week.

You should edit your post; you're spreading disinformation.
So I've had a couple of days now. Really loving the Knight with the one handed spear and medium shield. So much more effective - nice distance and the speed allows much easier interrupts.
This evening I rebound my keys slightly (after already rebinding alt attacks onto mouse buttons) - so that now my block is on shift, slash/alt are left/right mouse, stab/alt are top and bottom side mouse buttons, and overhead/alt are scroll up and down. Really feels more comfortable to vary attack patterns - only trouble is Left little finger fatigue from tapping shift a lot lol.
Thanks for your help - I'm already managing to 1:1 or even positive K:Ds.
What I'm not quite sure of still is how to score better - obviously PTFO but I still rank middle or bottom third of the team list and I'm not really sure how to score better aside from staying alive more.
And finally - countering is really tricky it seems in multiplayer matches. It's hard enough reading an individual opponent's moves, but with two or more coming at me I just have to pray. Have occasionally managed to survive a multi-person onslaught a few times now though, and even managed a multi kill from one which was very satisfying.
