This isn't true in Elden ring at all. Many attacks are reliant on iframes to dodge and the best tactic is commonly to roll into an enemies attack and let your iframes carry you through it.Notice that over time i-frames have become less and less of a reliable crutch, but that seems to have made people even more angry here. The fact you now have bosses with patterns that cannot actually be easily i-framed all the way through, the introduction of hyperarmor and the need to learn to work around that, the fact you have to mix up parry, jumping, the fact you need to rely on stance breaking to make bosses stop moving so much just made things worst for some people.
Doing that blind is a guaranteed way to smash your face against the damaging part of the attack though.
Rolling in Elden Ring now requires timing exactly like parry. That's why so many people are angry about this game. Whatever it was that made parry so hard for people in past Souls games now applies to rolling as well.
This is what i meant when i said i-frames are no longer as much of a crutch as they used to. It's no longer the guaranteed easy way to deal with boss patterns.
As for spacing and positioning, that also matters more than it used to be as well, but it's more of a question of knowing your way around a pattern.
If you are sking for muh realism, you are not gonna get in a game like this.
