I voted op horses, because naked horses surviving headshots from longbows is weird at best.

Lies.
No. Im polearmer and I like that not everyone is carrying a pike as backup.

So how do you know how many arrows a horse can survive when all you ever did is crawl around on ground with the biggest stick you could find?
I play cavalry once in a while. And I have never seen my desert horse survive more than two arrows. And I am not a beginner like you. When my horse gets shot, its about a really loooooooooooooong distance.

Seems you have never seen a horse in real life. If you manage to charge with a horse in a group of people, most of them would get thrown somewhere and get wounded.

Young one, my family has four horses, I know to ride, but thats not the point. Now of course they are not trained to rush into a group of soldiers, but even if you would get a horse to do so, its silly to think they had some magical ebony/dragon skin that would protect them when they run at insane speed into iron/ steel. They would be wounded, too. Most likely they would break their legs, and go nowhere after the crash.

Don't make a poll without options for everyone. I disagree with all of them.
Besides I don't think melee cavalry is OP. I have never had problems fighting them no matter what class I play.
Horse archers and horse crossbowmen however are really tough to deal with but I don't think they are OP. They are just annoying.

I don't think cavalry is op, there just seems to be an increase of cavalry recently. Plus you see alot of cavalry working together in groups...

Only thing I don't like about cav is the bumps.

lol buff archery really? have you seen aderyn or the other hospitaller copycats... they shoot throwing lances.. and by that i mean that his arrows do no less damage than throwing lances... and this is not an exaggeration... if anything change throwing so higher pt does more damage.. not this bullshit where wpf makes up for damage so people only need 4 or 5 pt to do the same amount of damage you can with 10 pt.. oh and and archers and throwers also run way too fast for shooting that hard.. anderyn 3 shots a cata and blackbars a arabian.. half the time 1 shotting it.. its called getting better aim for you archers that suck

REMOVE THEIR LEGS!

cav is OP. It's supposed to be balanced by extra cost, but cost is a weak balance now cuz people can sell loompoints for 600k to fund expensive cav chars.

Cav needs more downside, right now it's just a huge power enhancer.

IMO riders should take heavy damage when dehorsed, especially at high speed. This would add more risk to playing cav, cuz right now there's just a good chance they get dehorsed, dust off and then fight on as infantry.

Honestly I think everything is pretty balanced, except xbow they can all burn away, it's just that people don't work together. two handers charge first trying to get their kills, archers fire and whatever target they can rarely helping a duel because if they hit an ally they often immediately get m'ed, and horses run around trying to hit people from behind. (except Xeen during his horse phase when he just put his shield up and charge into groups with the plated charger)

The cure is teamwork and if you want even a remote amount of teamwork play siege. Less horses and people actually fight harder to win rather then get the top score and say everyone else sucks, though you can't escape that kind of attitude where you go.

If you want the best balance, with less horses, no archers, and even teams? Play chess.

I say, reduce bump damage, but increase it drasticly when the target is in mid-air, so that jump-slashing has some stern consequences. It's realistic considering that the target would fall on his back, which is why I assume people wouldn't just go around jump-slashing horsemen IRL.

Either reduce bump damage or increase head damage.

Poll

Why do you think Cav is argued to be OP?
