How would you feel about a sleep status that could be implemented into swords, and it could be used against you.
Note: While in this condition, a knights or monster, can not attack but gains a little health while asleep.
Right now the only way to see this status is through vials, how would people like to be able to inflict it with a weapon, and get it inflicted upon themselves.

I don't want anyone to say that it's a great way for a knight to regain health because the sleep status leaves them vulnerable, unable to raise their shield. This means that teammates would need to protect knights who have fallen asleep. Also, the player must actually be hit by an attack to become asleep.

Freeze can be already a trouble, but at least you have some limited play.
You cant fight back. Your team can protect you, but not wake you, unlike freeze, wich can be broken.

With sleep, you have to throw your keyboard, staring at the sceen, doing nothing and wait until something wakes you up.

I could only see it used as a faust like sword. But the problem was already stated by Juances, that people don't want to be stuck. I think they came up with it at the beginning then realized later that it doesn't quite work with the gameplay. For example in other games if you have a party of characters and one gets sleeped, then you can control the others, but here we only control one so it leaves people with nothing to do.
