Parazon Revive animation has created a twofold problem...

Ever since update 28.3.0 there have been a number of reports on Warframes becoming stuck in place and left unable to shoot, melee, use abilities or even swap to their operator.
Now this a a clear issue and I have faith that it will be fixed relatively soon, with the more immediate solution being to just use operator form to revive for the time being.

However, not all frames have that as a realistic option.

Frames that have abilities with a duration (Like Chroma  for example) will find that their warframe will not become immune to damage upon swapping to operator form.
In most missions this is fine due to his abilities being defensive in nature, bolstering his survivability.

Another tactic being to whip out you melee weapon in order to block incoming damage from the front while reviving them, a common tactic... a tactic that is no longer an option.
It was useful but required the player to be vigilant, constantly looking around to block incoming bombard rockets to stay alive just one more moment to revive a friend...

So with all that in mind, let's set a scene for the patch as of writing (patch 28.3.2):

You are doing steel path Mot with some fiends, mainly just trying to see if you can beat your last time record with your build of choice.
About 30 minutes in your fiend gets clotheslined by 5 corrupted crewmen that spawned around a corner the moment he looked away.

Naturally, its common courtesy to then get on the ground and "bleed out" as some would say.
Not wanting to let your friend die you run over to help, melee weapon in hand.
But what's this? Your guild famous zaw polearm of questionable name is no longer by your side! Instead having been replaced with... that, and I quote "kuva litch dagger thingy".
You panic but remain stalwart, not wanting to leave a job undone.

This determination is cut short by your floor-bound Tenno-in-arms yelling "Ey bro watch your back!", a sentence swiftly punctuated by 5 shotguns going off one after another.
The prior mentioned corrupted crewmen loom overhead, only now having been brought up by your friend who insisted on playing Ash as a "non-invis face tank", a story for another time.
Your health drains shot by shot, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%.
Despite this, you push though it all reviving your friend in the nick of time... only to find that you have been fused to the floor, unable to move, unable to attack.
Before you can complain about this over discord voice chat, a final shotgun drowns out the ramblings of a fashionably late Corrupted Vor.

You go down.

 

Ok, I could go on... but I think you get the point.
Having that little mechanic made reviving into a little mini-game. So, please... bring it back. It was fun.

(TLDR: Parazon Revive update removed blocking, inadvertently nerfing frames that rely on timed abilities to say alive by preventing them from becoming damage immune when in operator. DE fix plz.)
