First of all, get a better shield. Secondly others have no problems evading our lance, why are you the only one?
So you promote every player using the scrubscarl shield? Or heavy board shield? Good to know that rather than encouraging an end to the scrubscarl plague of being the only shield on the field that you want more of them running around. Right away dude, I'll scrubscarl it up like the rest of the server.
As for the evading of the lance, again that's a PEBKAC issue: IE- user error. Even a sumpter horse is faster than an infantry with 10 athletics and no armor. If you can't catch up to a running infantry within range to attack him with your long ranged lance then that's some serious driver fail. If you miss, that's bad aim. Yup, we footman can avoid some cav's lances because those cav have shitty aim. Against a cav with decent aim they will catch up and hit their target every time because the movement and range benefit is on their side. The option the infantry has is to block, or chamber. We can't outrun a horse.
And why are you walking on your own anyway? If you stick to your team, what you should be doing as a onehander, you wouldn't get killed.
Strawman. Public servers full of randoms. Teams split up, infantry often times finds himself alone for a myriad of reasons:
last one alive
teammates got scared and ran away
trying to get away from teamwounding plebs
engaged with another melee slightly away from the main group.
Regardless, if your response simply lies with "hurr durr an entire team working together is the counter" then all I can say is that again you're arguing with fail. Balance consists of 1v1, not 2v1 - 10v1 etc.
It's only natural that you as a onehander will have the most trouble countering us and unavoidable. But seriously, is simply moving so hard for you with 7 athletics? No, not on my 6 athletics shielder.
It's only natural that you will bitch about getting slashed by "everyone" because you're bad at cav and charge people with long weapons straight on instead of at full range extension to take advantage of your speed and range from the lance. But seriously, is simply moving your mouse in the direction of your target so hard for you with a lance and horse? I suggest watching a good cav player:
Air
Huey Newton
etc
Hell even Kaelaen (no offense) was capable of catching up to infantry on a sumpter horse and getting a lance to connect to fully aware people and her character is a HA and not properly spec'd for lancing. Sure she got jump slashed a few times but I'm willing to bet she'll fully admit that when I did that it was her own bad position on her charge that caused her death and NOT an issue with cav being weak or anything of that sort.
