[Latvian]

i am justt wondering why it got unnerfed? imo it was fine as it was. (yes i got raped by oberyn's lance today)

Couching with heavy lance, lance and light lance has been made "normal" again. I killed with every couch I made yesterday (because heavy lance stab is almost as effective as punching people with fists...)

I'm a little butthurt about the no bumping policy though... Archers get annoying when I can't bump them and escape...

imo couching shoulda stayed nerfed and stabbing should have been buffed. 
either faster stab (shorter window for the bad cav to hit the spot,  better cav vs cav for skilled dudes/ however making them better on foot as well) or a little damage buff to the heavy lance for the poor non loomed players.

but couching,  cheesh -.-

i couched jtobiasm with a heavy lance, rouncey and 5 riding. jtobiasm said the lance hit his head, (i could hear the sound, so it was a hit for sure), but he didnt die.

here comes the funny part: jtobiasm is an archer, had low armor and no head armor... wut?

Yeah I hear you. Just played some time. Annoying to hit a guy with peasant clothes and he doesn't die. Even with decent speed and all. Then seeing 1h cav come and onehit a player using sarranid guard armor in spawn (so full hp). Even hitting the head with heavy lance stab doesn't seem to do the same damage. At the same time horses die from one arrow (happened yesterday, yes it's super gay) and onehit from any weapon basically. So where's the high risk, high reward mentality now? It's more like "wait until you see an idiot and couch his back".
