I still dehorse people just fine. Even with longsword. Maybe you should try something else instead of chamber/spinstab trick most of you seem to be using
haha..you know it's funny that what some player's call exploits others call tactics. By trying to make a game more realistic, or an attempt to replicate real world physics, all you're doing is disrupting the careful balance which took months of practice and community feedback to build and pissing players off in the meantime. There's literally nothing in cRPG (post-upkeep) that is reasonably unbeatable by every class. I find it odd that people are complaining about said realism in an RPG stat-based game. Stat points are never representational of real-world values. I think all this patch noticeably accomplished was a steep decline in older player's willingness to invest in a game that is subject to change based off whim.
Besides, if you suck at footwork, it doesn't matter what kind of weapon you're using. I.E. Saul with his rerolls in 2h, 1h, pole, etc. Chances are that if you're complaining about someone killing you in cRPG, you're doing something wrong. Go to duel and get better.
If you're going to trouble of creating stat-points and retirement, at least don't disrupt the fundamental basis for many player's builds, because I really doubt a player like me who is light inf 2h longsword is similar to other classes/builds (tincans, old cav, etc) that were nerfed. The fact I can stab you with that weapon reach just proves that my footwork is successful and that you're not paying enough attention.
tldr; People who will never excel complain, game changes, people with successful strategy are nerfed and their heirlooms rendered meaningless thus the game is the same as native + content.
