Sadly since the nerf nuke hit throwing i have not had as much fun playing as before the patch. I tried staying a thrower a few weeks after the patch hit but i gave up on it even as a gimped i whas not usefull. I coud understand the reduction in stacks (12 heavy throwing axes + a 2hander is a bit much) but the way throwing whas nerfed is just stupid. The same thing as archers woud have been enough and whas thus handled by the slot system, the accuracy and range nerf alongside it whas just to much. In fact the accuracy shoud have been increased looking at the ammount of ammo we have not decreased, using 2 slots will give you 4 shots fo prety good weapon or 8 wardarts, looking at the other ranged it gives you 24 steel bolts or 30 bodkin arrows if using the biggest (slotwise) weapons, if using the standard crossbow or strongbow it also gives then a melee weapon alongside all that ammo even a 2hander.... Throwing also increases the danger to the player that is not involved in crossbows or archery since they can fire from a safe distance, throwers are usually in the thick of it or close enough to it to need good armour and melee to support it, this takes atleast 1slot and most of the time 2 (polearm, 2hander or sword and board).
There are two options to throwing, remove it alltogether (all but done in current state anyway) or give it some love next patch, there are plenty of examples given that will not make it overpowered.
ps. almost exclusively used heavy throwing axes since i coud use them, i never used lances.
edit
whats whit having a 4 throwing spear stack but only 3 jardis-javelins?
