What the f*ck is wrong with you "yes" people? Is it balanced that bowmen can kill me by 3 arrows and idiot with throwning axes kills me by 1 shot?
So?
2handers/Polearms can easily one shot bowmen/throwers.
Get a shield or just stop walking in a straight line towards them(Seeing the new archery nerf have made zigzag walking even more superior)
As for the topic ;
It's a bit hard to say if it is balanced or not, It does pretty much depends on the equipment. Which creates a pretty much rock paper scissors.
But I have to say that Cavalry is in quite the bad position overall right now.
Everyone can afford a pike, ranged characters 1-2 shot their horses(Since they can't afford the high end one without leeching several matches before. And noone likes leechers)
And it is pretty much impossible to ambush a good player since he can use the "ยง" button to get a pretty much 360 degrees around himself.
