What Bjord said in his original post^^....
Or at least make couched lances chamberblockable. Wouldn't be a huge nerf but would give melee players at least a fucking CHANCE of surving it.
Its fucking easy to survive: ITS THE MOST EASILY AVOIDABLE ATTACK IN THE FUCKING GAME and yet QQ about it. Guess who leads the QQ? a FUCKING 1hander. Sure, he thinks its OP, cause its fucking rock to his scissors, but any 2hander, polearmer, or even 1hander who isnt a STR built char laughs at the idea of being couched while aware. Sure, when your not looking, it rapes you, but so does a great maul overhead to your back while your fighting someone else.
THIS IS NOTHING BUT A QQ THREAD. O and BTW, I do not, and will not, play as a lancer, or any cav for that matter, since they killed my cav with the slot system and "unsheathable" tags many moons ago. I play infantry, 1hander, shielder, polearmer, 2hander, archer, crossbowman, and on NONE of them do I ever feel threatened by couched lances. EVER.
As I stated above, sure they rape you when you dont see them coming, but while your busy fighting, WHO GIVES A FUCK what backstabs you, be it couched lance, arbalest, poleaxe to the head, lolstab: GANK IS GANK.
This thread is started by a guy who is a GREAT duelist with very fast twitch reactions, but unfortunatly his awareness must be shit, and wants the game changed for HIM.
/end this thread ffs, its a joke.
