so your point is irrevelant because pikemen can't use shields in the first place derp.
Lol, they can use shields just as much as any other class. I don't see why pikemen have a lesser disposition to use shields then anyone else. Ok, they have to drop their weapon. Well any other 2h or polearm that uses both hands have to sheathe it or drop it. Eitheir both men effectively disarmed themselves. I don't see how anyone has an advantage over the other. And to try and put any logic into this to begin with when the fuck did this become a "2h vs pikemen who is the most effective shielder".... you must be a big fucking moron to try and make this a plug into any persons head, as a "disadvantaged pikeman"
Secondly
You can facehug everyone else, BUT SOMEONE WITH A PIKE IS WORSE BECAUSE OF 1 ATTACK DIRECTION
You dont use the pike 1v1, you can but as I can understand from your other post you are mentally retarded, bringing another polearm, 1h or 2h for such an encounter will probably make your brain melt.
Apparently teamwork is lame, have you ever tried using a pike? Its the most useless fucking thing in a melee battle, but vs cav and vs longspear users its pretty much a hard counter, unless you're completely inept at warband. You can drop it after you're done with it, pulling out your real melee weapon to kill.
Now, this is where your post goes completely into a black hole and I dont know wheter you're trying to lobby for a weapon that is completely ridiculous.
If you stand behind team mates, and effectively stab through them with a ghostly wooden shaft of dooming polestagging and you fail at it "you are completely inept at warband". I can do this myself on my 2h character, effectively getting kills without ever beeing in danger of ever dying, getting hurt or probably even shot. How this a "team work weapon" I can accept beeing overrun by teamwork by a bunch 1h'ers, 2h'ers, polemen or throwers or any mix of those. But weapons that can pass through walls, team mates, their shields and fucking walls by stabbing in the air then moving the mouse town is not fkn teamwork, I call that exploiting a serious mistake in warbands engine collision detection (whatever you wanna fucking call it). Because of this, I question if the weapon should have be added in the first place. Long spear is that not enough? Hell by your logic it IS TWICE AS GOOD. TWO ATTACK DIRECTION!!!111!!1!!!! OMIGAWD.
As a 2h, you can carry a fucking shield around to not get shot up, Pikemen are pretty much walking blobs of free kills for archers, while 2h can solo dodge/shield from arrow.
I have nothing to write here other then a big fucking
