Indeed, depends on how you define superior.
Polearms have really clippy animations in comparison to most weapons, especially noticeable with extremely long/fast weapons, which fucks some people up.
2h have really good animations length-wise and good sweetspots + I find hilting much more viable with 2h (even though they nerfed it
)
1h have, imho, really confusing animations, that look the same and with the speed of 1h make them hard to block (not that anything is really hard to block nowadays...) + the leftswing which is ultra-fast and hits the head more often than not.
