Can't rotate body on horse! Horsemen now useless!

Hey, my main character on crpg is a horsemen, before the patch, in my opinion (I fight on foot alot of the time too) Horsemen were just fine. They do NOT need a nerf. And this not being able to rotate body on horse means its going to be team-kill city, because you cant friggin aim. Really, bring back body rotating on horseback, just maybe make it so you cant rotate as far as you could before, but so that you can still friggin aim. Alot of other things are really messed up too. Now you may say, "just use a sword", well, polearms will get us when we go in close. So we need the long reach of lances! But we cant hit anything with them.
P.S, I know It's a new patch, and things are just being tried out, but this feature really is a bad one.

Hey, my main character on crpg is a lancer whore, before the patch, in my opinion (I fight on foot alot of the time too) Light lancer whores really did needed a nerf.

Shame I'm not a 'light' lancer then is it. Also, I often did use my sword, because it's quite fun but now this long pike makes it just not an option.

The pike was already enough for stopping cavalry. I don't see why people would suddenly have a brain and start using it, making more pike alts and such. I don't even think it's better, since it's lenght will make it a buggy weapon and you have to see the cavalry approaching well in advance. Furthermore, a lance won't help you against a pikeman.

If you aren't a light lancer, then good. You won't cry like them when they will see they can't abuse their masterwork heavy lance + champion sarranid horse build anymore.

Aye, but a pike in a crowd of people, you could pick off people on the edge, now you can't if a long-piker see's you coming.

I am not a horseman but I find consistent that horsemen cannot swipe their heavy lances (with a single hand) from side to side.

one nice thing about cav now, pikemen cant sheath their pike so if there is a pikeman you will see it
