Bumpslash is an important tool for cav and I don't think it should be removed.

Is that a promise?

It does stop horses. It's an anti horse weapon.

I only read this:

POLEARMS DON'T REAR HORSES

I've ridden through a couple of polearms now and they only did damage  :|

Being important in means of "their role in the team" or being important in the means of "the easiest way to get kills"?

(And no, don't tell me the first is the second, because making kills indeed is important, but the effect should represent the effort. And effort in bumsplashing someone = 0)
Joker makes a very good point.

Bumpslash is a unique way of dealing with a passiv turtler which can otherwise block forever. With some armor the charge damage won't bother him much either. Bumpslash gives (1h) cav an aura of fear on the open field, forcing the footman to be aggressive to have a chance. I kinda see couch as the equivalent for the lancer. Yes, I like it. I won't let it go.

The removal of bumpslash means death of (already in some sort of final AIDS state before, this patch only finishes them) 1h cav. (edit : never mind)

Also, if the long spear can't block anymore, there is absolutely 0 reason to prefer it over a 2h greatsword than deals more damage, is way better in every situation and has enough range to hit horsemen.

Above 6 ath you are nimble enough to jump and hit the head of the horse before the rider can do anything to you, given the limited angle of the lance.

What? No. No matter how nimble you are the heavy lance will /still/ be longer. Your only argument could be that if you are fast enough, you might be able to hit the horse before the cavalry player notices. But that's extremely risky, as any good cav player will likely just one-hit you when you try that.

I have yet to meet a "good cav player" that will actually do that on purpose. Good 2h players on the other hand, have no problems either dodging the lance then come back and attack, or simply onehitting the horse before the rider can hit them.

Bullshit. Lance has more range, you turn your horse away from the infantry player when you thrust. Guaranteed win.

As an ex 2h user I can vouch for your story. Lolstab 1 hit kills happened frequently.

Excuse me, there is just one major flaw here... no 2h sword has enough pierce damage to "1 hit kill" cav.

Important tool for cav? LOL, no it's just fucking EZ mode like bumping everyone and getting kills without any effort. It SHOULD be removed. If an 1h cav gets me without bumpslash that's what I call skill.
I was the first one who started -1-ing everyone, now everyone does it to everyone.
