The Great Long Lance (LoC) has to go.

Everything is in the title, it's a gamebreaking weapon, as a footman, you are lucky if you can avoid it, but countering it with a pike is impossible. And it's a new trend, everyone has one of these, it's pissing off a lot of players, not just me.
There are some EZ mode weapons, but this is the worst of all, I would be happy if this weapon sees a nerf, or leaves cRPG.

It can't do anything other than couch. I have no problems with it.

Well, good for you, but when 2 heavy cav charges at you with those..
Yes, it can couch only, but it's still overpowered.

It's perfectly possible to stop a couched LoC with a pike.

Only from certain angles.
And since horses are like guided missiles with their current maneuverability its impossible to get that correct angle on any non stupid horseman.

I always disliked the Lance of Compensation as it has insane range and a slight mouse turn allows you to easily hit even aware enemies.

even if its not overpowered its just a silly weapon. its easy enough to get kills with great lance. a 382 length weapon is just retarded, please remove it.

Biggest problem for me personally has been that it has screwed hitboxes. I have many times avoided the lance only to be killed anyway.
It has to go  :evil:
Why is everybody telling me to think? I think, I just don't show it.

A lot of cav using it as there are a lot of people with pikes. But you can do the same with great lance if you are skilled enought. I would support remove it.

The pike is there to confront cav with great lance else it would be OP like this new ridiculous lance.

So yea remove it.

Actually it's not new, but I can understand that you feel so, as before it was barely used, but now it advanced to a rather popular weapon. Though I don't know why, I still use my heavy lance, in direct combat circumstances must be perfect they beat me with the great long lance.  :?
Joker makes a very good point.

You really can't get many kills with this. Couching only so you need a large amount of flat ground, and if you miss your intended target it's going to take maybe 30 seconds before you can do another pass. Plus, you're nearly incapable of fighting against other cav.
