Game Balance Discussion / Re: Redefining horses

I like it. One recommended addition:

Proposed Addition: Buff horse life, add horse headshots. Considering given that I'm an archer, I would happily accept 4-5 hits on the lower tiered horses if headshots to the horse actually increased damage significantly more. It wouldn't be spam because they would have to hit a small moving target.

This will make the riders have to be more strategic about their assaults, rather than simply 'w' across the map. In horse rider's favor, it would remove the fear of losing their horses randomly to archer spam.

I dont know how to request this be brought to light without sounding like i'm complaining.  I am requesting changes be made to make a "fighting" chance.

Pre-patch LVL 32 Gen 1 Dedicated Archer build
kDR of 3:1
Post-patch
KDR of 0.5:1

I had no "bonus wpf" that I was relying on. As mana said, no point in playing with a crosshair the size of my fist. Think it's time i seriously consider going melee or pickup a horse.

PS - the draw animation is cool.
