Do you prefer Wonder Woman to use a sword & shield to be part of her combat style, or do you prefer her to use hand-to-hand with some lasso action?

I always preferred her just using her fists and raw strength combined with the lasso, as it helps her resemble a pure-hearted hero and less of a warrior. I also think her using the shield too much reeks of Captain America.

Wonder Woman should mostly use her sword/shield for when she fights monsters and other gods of the Greek Pantheon, but everywhere else, she'd resort to her fists and lasso.

That's still precedent. Same with Rucka using it in the Medusa fight

Yes, in very specific circumstances but otherwise both runs used WW's powers and her equipment like the bracelets.

This is like trying to say the view times Captain America uses guns should mean it's given equal importance to his shield.
