well, let me answer that with three statements

I am not saying blood vials are SOLELY responsible for the phenomena I am describing. it is the combination of many factors, and I feel like we (or you specifically) are getting way too bogged down in the efficacy of blood vials and ignoring the overall point that I'm trying to make. so I want to try and at least steer this discussion in a direction that is more productive. we can keep talking about blood vials if you want to, but I was more talking about the overall high skill ceiling of blood borne, and how easy it is to achieve the platinum compared to other games
I don't know specifically how much faster blood vials are, or the recovery time, but I know they are fast enough that I was able to basically face tank and heal my way through the entire game on my first playthrough without learning the correct patterns or techniques for fighting any of the bosses. this may only be my personal experience, but it's flat out impossible for me to do the same in every other souls game. and from what I've watched of other people playing bloodborne, and other souls games, the high reliance on blood vials, and the high level of reliability that you can use to face tank your way through fights without learning the mechanics, is pretty consistent -- especially for first clears.
yeah counter damage in this game is nuts. there are many attacks that I don't try to dodge, nor would I recommend trying to dodge, because it's simply better to just get knocked on the ground with 30% of your health remaining instead of failing to time the dodge and getting one hit killed.

if you want me to discuss the other factors other than blood vials that lead to the expert's dilemma being so prevalent in bloodborne, I'd definitely be into that. I love talking about the mechanics of bloodborne in depth. but, more often than not, nobody cares nor does anyone want to hear it, so I'm not going to harp on it any further if no one is interested.
