am I haluscinating or is this happening a lot more often in the last time?
My favorite is when a dehorsed person just does a penguin slide 10 feet away or you hit someone and the force knocks them back several bodies.

I have been knocked back a few meters occasionally too. And teleporting horsemen piss me off. I can just imagine the troll face if I run at a downed horseman to finish him and he just moves ten meters in the other direction.
Well the Horseman doesn't teleport at all, it's your game that sees his movement direction wrong, atleast I never used to teleport as Horseman, I'd just see people run in the wrong direction and realise on their screen I am going somewhere else, when I'm not, that's when my troll face appeared.
Why the hell does the knockdown from horseback lets people get two or three free hits on the poor soul ?
Because cav deserves it. Alternative: break your bones and loose half your health when you fall to the ground (that would be realistic).

Then, any horse would severely injure and most likely kill any footmen whenever a bump happens, no matter the speed (getting trampled is actually worse than just bumped). And footmen would in no way be able to stop any horse just by standing in front of it with balls of steel.Only the best trained horses would run over someone looking very pointy.
Why the hell does the knockdown from horseback lets people get two or three free hits on the poor soul ?Because the horseman fucked up and if this wasn't the case he would be able to continue on as a pretty damn effective infantery fighter without any penalty. Kinda giving the horseman two lives. It's also 2 hits maximum and only if you have a fast weapon. With the new ground collision its actually not that uncommon to get your swing stuck in the ground instead of the rider.

The game works quite well like that balance-wise but it kinda feels frustrating and unfair to get downed by one guy and then not be able to duel. It pushes cav to become pure cav without athletics, as anyway getting downed by infantry usually means death (people that get one hit in usually only need one to kill you, those that can do two swings kill you anyway, even ninjas, and then there's Leshma that onehits twice) so who cares about melee capabilities. That is probably not what you want from a metagame perspective. Also don't forget it is quite easy to magically headshot people on the ground with ranged weapons.
You know what's frustrating? Getting couched from behind by some asshole "and then not be able to duel".
Seriously, they need to add some fkn skill into cav mechanics...
...and good cav have figured out how to couch with basically no risk to themselves.
If you have a "short" weapon (i.e anything shorter than a couched lance) then defending against a couch becomes stupid guesswork. It's bullshit.
These days cavalry players are bigger cowards than ranged players. So much for cav "honor" and "skill" :lol:
They should fix this issue so we mighty twohanders can kill those cavarly cowards every time not just 80% of the time lol

Should they be landing on their feet when they're de-horsed?
