Are you sure you're blocking 70% of attacks? Or are attackers just starting there, and when they realise their attacks aren't working they go via AWS instead?

I can't imagine many people sufficiently motivated to launch a DDoS attack against you, yet not sufficiently motivated to switch to an attack method that will actually work.

Most attacks are using a shotgun approach. DDOS generally are targeted but even then just badly behaved scrapers or vulnerability scanners can add up to be like a DDOS.
