Is blocking broken in Hellfire?

I played a ton of Diablo when it first came out, but never really got into Hellfire. I set it up on devilutionx on my phone and I've been playing a warrior. I keep getting "block locked." I remember that being an issue in Diablo, but not at all to the extent I'm seeing here. As few as three enemies can keep me locked up to where I can't fight back.

Am I misremembering Diablo, or are things worse in Hellfire for Warriors?
