After playing for a few days now as polearm, archer and cavalry I think heavy cavalry needs a lot more armor. An archer can kill a heavy horse easily with three arrows which makes them ineffective against even unsupported archer nests. There should be a balance of fear between the two classes and right now only one of them is afraid of the other. This would also help to balance the ridiculous amount of ranged (more than half the server most of the time) we now have on EU1 without necessarily nerfing ranged.
It ofc doesn't help the situation that most maps have roofs, mountains or other positions for ranged to hide from cavalry.
Ever since the patch the gameplay has been extremely dull. Almost none of the maps seem to play well with the current class balance and disappearance of the whole 2H class has made fighting a lot more boring. It's now either long slow polearms and held attacks or 1H shielders and left swings. Meh. Ranged makes sure that no horsey can survive and on most maps can target the enemy teams best players until they either quit or hide and become ineffective. Working as intended maybe, but extremely boring in a long run.
