Removing couch lance would weaken cav heavily. Couch lance is just part of the game as chamber for example is. I like having it in the game. You also have to notice that it is usually easy to avoid being couched unless you either don't care or get attacked from behind (in that casees it's your own fault).
The bump couch lance doesn't happen often so why remove it (or weaken it)?
If that would be removed something else should be heavily buffed for cav, e.g not let the horse ever get 1/2hit again just when aiming at the legs (which is awful anyway).
And Leshma, just because you get some kills of unaware players, doesnt mean the class is overpowered. It's the same with crossbows on the ground, you can pick them up and do headshots.. oh just 1 wpf? LETS nerf crossbows! ;)
Removing couch lance from non couching lances is the way to go. Want to couch? Get a great lance or tourney lance (which can not thrust). Oh, and wear heavy armor so you can affix a brace for the lance.
Otherwise it is and has always been a stupid mechanic. But go on, be that stupid guided missile and couch away. You will no doubt couch many infantry in the back, including team mates. Inflate your kdr and your ego! be a valour whore while your team loses, who cares!
Try not to gloss over the part where I said 'also de-fuck lance thrust radius' - the whole argument for the fucking seems to be 'so one hand cav' have a chance against them.
a. fuck them, every one of those bump slashing wogs.
