Even though the poll is done, I'd like to voice my opinion.
I think Huey is a better player overall because he is good at both cavalry and melee. The nature of Huey's playstyle is such that you can't really do anything about it unless you have the proper counter (mobile ranged, pikes) and even then it's hard to specifically target him because he can just ride to the other side of the map and couch peasants.
The only reason why I received the largest share of votes is because 1) Huey doesn't play anymore and 2) I have a stronger battlefield presence than Huey. Huey in his prime probably had a better KDR and kill count than I ever could have, but it was hard to notice Huey because of the nature of the cavalry playstyle. Some people probably chalked up his high performance to couching AFKs and peasants, which might be partially true. However, when people see an infantry or ranged do well, it's more notable because it's harder to post similar performances given the group-oriented nature of ground combat versus the solo-oriented nature of cavalry.
I think I have a stronger battlefield presence because more things can be done to negate my effectiveness than can be done to a good cav like Huey. If Huey senses that people are actively piking/shooting at him, he can just ride away to another part of the battlefield. However, as an infantry I can be focus-fired down by ranged, ninja'd by cav, or destroyed by melee teamwork. Thus, I'm a higher priority target simply because I can be stopped in more ways than a cav like Huey can.
