It still makes me laugh that ppl consider 2h OP: sure, its high damage and nice animations...but its countered by correct use of, wait for it: BLOCKING. Block, dont chase the backpeddlers, and stand your ground, be ready to kick the fucker away, and no 2h can do shit. Then it comes down to: who can keep the fight up for longer without missing a block. And some can say, SURE, untill the 2hander uses footwork to outrange: to this I have 2 responses: 1/ DONT chase backpeddlers, if it REALLY gets to you take 2 powerthrow and put a throwing dart in the bundle of sticks each time he tries to backpeddle, he will soon run at you again when he realises that he's been cunted, and 2/ Polearms are infinitely better at outreaching, due to their longer weapons, better selection of non-straight weapons (If your weapon is curved or has a head, like an axe has, you WILL hit earlier in animation in Warband, thats a broken mechanic but noone has seen fit to try to correct, due to hitboxes being linear), and nice damage even with decent agility instead of strengh.
Even kickspammers can be countered now by kicking them back and knocking them down, but this nudge shit: can I counternudge? Nope, just eat shit and die, dickhead, its your fault for trying to have a fight with someone, rather than just look for the easiest way to give them no chance of fighting back. My bad.
OP: Broken nudge. Look at game previously: attacking or blocking: slows your movement....kicking: stops you completely.... jumping: forces you to stop when landing for half a second: Nudging? Just fucking sprint on thru bro, its all good.
Nudge is the result of someone love of their own code, they made something, they wont admit its breaking the game, cause they are too happy with themselves.
