Simply a disdain for people who choose to hate on one particular class for no other reason than they don't know how to combat it.
Don't know how to combat it? My main is 2h hero, my alt is 1h pussy, no shield, could you tell me how am I supposed to fight your class? Should I spit on you or what? The only way I can fight against horse archers is wait for flag, then let them shot me. Hm, sounds like a fun!
Nerf for HAs was fully justified cause they were too annoying and too effective.
Though I have to admit raging over HAs and bitching how gay this class is (which is true ofc
) is ridiculous, in my opinion being piker or hoplite is equally gay and I'm sure there are ppl who think 2h is gay too
So all in all we all are gays
PS
I hardly ever shoot infantry guys until late in the round or until all the cav is down. Yet they are the ones who complain the most about HAs.
Probably because cav have a chance to fight you back, while infantry can only hide and wait and waiting isn't the most entertaining thing which you can do in game
If HA are such a problem then archers would focus on them more and they others would target them. Seeing as they don't it can only be assumed that generally speaking they aren't considered a serious threat.
It doesn't matter if they are a serious threat. Infantry is easier target so archers shoot at them. Easy kills are priority for cRPG players. Why do you think I always chase peasants? Because they are "a serious threat"? Ofc not, because they are the only ones who I can kill without effort
