So if polearm is better than 2h in every way possible, how is it possible that one of the best 2h players sucks hard with polearms?
Simple, cause Phyrex is a good 2h because he has been a 2h for thousands of hours and was a really good lolstabber, he used/abused all the 2h tricks there are. When you change class there are a whole bunch of new tricks, but it takes time before you learn these. A handful of hours of polearm experience does not compare to thousands of hours of 2h.
Just like Tor abuses everything there is to abuse about polearms. While blocking and attacking stays the same if you change class, pretty much everything else changes. You need to adjust chamber timing, range control and need to learn a whole new batch of tricks and moves and forget the old ones.
That being said. I changed from 2h to polearm and did a lot better. For me polearm is the easiest class and if I look at the stats I can see why.
Lets assume 1 vs 1 duel for this:
When I fight Tor (polearm Tor), I loose almost always.
When I fight Phyrex (2h Phyrex), I loose almost always.
When I fight Phyrex (polearm Phyrex) I win almost always.
Conclusion: Polearm canĀ“t be OP in any way, because that would mean I would have to beat 2h Phyrex also.
I'm just hoping you're not a scientist.
