Why? lol, I've never been beaten by a pike user when I am able to approach them with downblock held - as long as no friends of theirs turn up. 1vs1 downblock > pike/long spear EVERY time.

if u only hold downblock then u are dead

Here's how it works... When you see a pikeman - run straight at him. If he prepares a lolstab, start your downblock. If he tries any funny business, keep it held and faced towards him. When you get in real close, give him a little kick and slash right or left. I don't think it's very hard, and I've never encountered problems, so maybe you can tell me what your problem is?

Notice he keeps saying pike user, which only has stab... Also notice that long spears no longer have overhead...

Then suddenly you were kicked and stabbed down in one hit, by the pike to the face.

When you get in real close, give him a little kick and slash right or left.

Kick-slashing a backpedaling pikemen? Good luck.

Pikes and Longspears should have stab and new overhead attack. Otherwise its way to easy to counter them.

No, it's easy to counter them in 1v1, as it should be for all support weapons. Try countering a pikeman when he's supporting a two hander or a polearmer.

Thats what I am saying, you block, then try to swing back, but then they do a jump back stab animation and as long as the long spear is sticking halfway through you or anywhere in your general direction when they start the animation allows an instastab after you try to strike back after blocking.  It walways hits first unless you are facehiugging and thats why you see high agility jumpback/backpedal long spear users all over the place - its easy to counter the facehug and allow continuous insta-stabs with the screwed up animation box.

Yep, and that is a HUGE problem since they're so god damned effective in groups, I see 3-4 guys with polearms and 2 handed swords and I'll recklessly rush and probably win depending on who they are, if I see 2 guys, one of them with a long spear or a pike, I cry to myself and commit suicide because I know I can't do jack diddly shit about it.

It's just how cost effective they are, they're 2 slots so every 2 handed heroes can get one, they're unexpensive, in support they're EXTREMELY good in part because of their reach and polestun, then if you get near them to eliminate this threat, LOL NOPE he blocks or do the circus fighter and you die a horrible death anyway.

Oh yes, and let's not even begin with the extremely fucked animations of this mod and game.

Love the new Kazakh armour (not the hat  ). Boots and Outfit are really nice and look awesome in game It's now going to be my standard, rather than steppe armour.
