This is ridiculously, in fact so ridiculous that I bothered the time logging in and posting a comment.
Nerf HC? Are you serious? I mean serious as Sirius(Serious) Black, from Harry Potter?
Its you'r fault if you run around as a mainstream Kuyak Clone with a razorsharp butterknife the size of a door with a pike length.
Everyone needs a bane.
Those who deny shield usage will find Ranged annoying, and Mounted Ranged a nightmare.
Those who wield shields doesn't fear ranged cavalry THAT much.
Kuyak Clone: But hooow! Will we stop these Horse Crossbowmen!
Simple... Horse Crossbowmens bane is the Bowman or Crossbowman.
A horse crossbowman can't reload his xbow faster than the bowman can pick a arrow and fire it in his face or on the horse before its to late.
In my opinon is this topic a blasphemy. HC shouldnt be nerfed in any way, it is good as it is.
If anything should be nerfed it is definitely the mainstream Kuyak 2h
The Kuyak Clone's bane --- Horse Crossbowman, Horse Archer
The Horse Crossbowmans bane --- Bowman, Crossbowman, maybe even Horse Archer
